VIDEO: White Stripes on So You Think You Can Dance. “Seven Nation Army” Dance, Bad Idea?

ABOVE: TV talent show So You Think You Can Dance aims its cheesy choreography at rock’n'roll as the dance crews take a shot at the White Stripes’ garage-rocker “Seven Nations Army.”Is Jack White getting paid for this nonsense?

Who thought this was a good idea?

Maybe the show should work out some dance routines for Green Day songs, since that band is already working on a bound-for-Broadway musical based on American Idiot, anyway.

The White Stripes have been on hiatus as Jack White performs with other bands including the Raconteurs and Dead Weather.

The Dead Weather has a new album hitting stores next week, and White is even opening his own record store in NYC to celebrate the occasion (Jack White Opens Record Store in NYC, For Two Days Only!). Adding to the building buzz around the band, the Dead Weather’s bloody new “Treat Me Like Your Mother” video just debuted on Cinemax, for some reason.

With White dedicating so much effort to other projects (including a new guitar documentary, It Might Get Loud), the future of the White Stripes seems somewhat uncertain. The band’s official website currently features an ominous image of a goldfish floating belly-up.
