Cover art for I Think I Smell A Rat lyrics by White Stripes, The

It sounds a lot like it could've been inspired by Gene Vincent's "Catch Me a Rat" (also minor key, similar rhythm, and, of course, the very similar title and chorus). This would be a worthy update on the Vincent tune, though, and I guess it's still different enough. Badass song.
