VIDEO DUMP: THE WHITE STRIPES "THE HARDEST BUTTON TO BUTTON"

Jack and Meg White of the The White Stripes did a brief but funny cameo on The Simpsons this week, appearing in a segment parodying the music video for "The Hardest Button to Button" (from the album Elephant).



UPDATE: Here's the clip from the show, which is already on YouTube.

As for the original video, it was filmed both in the 33rd Street PATH station and Central Park in Manhattan, and features a Beck cameo (the guy 2:30 into it with the white suit). It was directed by Michel Gondry, who is responsible for some interesting music videos, the excellent Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and a trippy looking new movie called The Science of Sleep.

Oh, and he's French. You know, just in case you were wondering.
