Electric Six say it ain't Jack White

Electric Six deny rumours that Jack White provides backing vocals on their hit Danger High Voltage, saying a competition winner sang them.

Electric Six continue to deny rumours that it’s the White Stripes’ Jack White’s voice that you can hear in the background of their number two hit ‘Danger High Voltage’. According to Radio 1 the band claim the backing vocals are supplied by a winner to a competition held on the band’s website. "He sounds a hell of a lot like Jack White,” a spokesman for the band said, “we didn't even think about it at the time and then later on it was like 'Do you think people...?'. A local newscaster in town had spotted Jack White and Joebot at breakfast and that's where the rumour started. I mean do you think Jack White would do a disco song? With us? This is the real world here sir, and these kinds of things just don't happen."

Then again – read the interview with Electric Six on CMU OnLine and you’ll understand these guys are insane – so who knows if they’re telling the truth.
