"Ball and Biscuit" is the eighth track on the album "Elephant" by American alternative rock band The White Stripes.
The lyrics follow the perspective of a self-purported seventh son as he apparently courts a woman. He mentions that it is quite possible that he is the girl's "third man" and that the girl is ambivalent towards him, but he insistently tries to impress her with his claim to be a seventh son.
The ball (cocaine) and biscuit (amphetamine) may refer to serious drugs. "We'll get clean together/And I'll find me a soapbox where I can shout it" suggests this couple will quit; however, the future-tense gives the line a sense of fatalism. It is likely this character is making optimistic propositions while high (a common theme in blues lyrics). The title could also refer to the STC Coles 4021 "Ball and Biscuit" microphone that was used at Toe Rag Studios during the Elephant recording sessions.
The Seventh Son is based on the American folk legend version of the belief that the seventh son of a seventh son would be granted supernatural powers, which the character of the song claims to possess in the form of superhuman strength. A recollection of similar folklore is frequently found in the Blues and derivatives; notably, Willie Dixon sang a blues song entitled "The Seventh Son". The use of the Seventh Son may have been inspired by Jack White's own family situation; he was the seventh and final son in a family of nine children.
"Ball and Biscuit" has generated a significant amount of commentary even though it was never released as a single. It was, however, voted in a Rolling Stone Reader's Poll to be the greatest Jack White song "by a landslide". In her review of Elephant, Kitty Empire described the song as "...astonishing, with Jack White playing on his knees, his sexual promises punctuated by liquid guitar emissions." In 2011, the Washington Post's David Malitz described the song as "perhaps the White Stripes' definitive statement."
It has also been used numerous times in popular culture. It was featured in as the background music for the Captain Morgan advertisement "Glass" and was heard at the beginning of the 2010 film The Social Network.
On October 10, 2020, Jack White performed a version of the song on Saturday Night Live after stepping in and replacing Morgan Wallen on short notice. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
