The first song to get itself a video from The Dead Weather's debut record 'Horehound' is this exact song here, Treat Me Like Your Mother.

Fuzzy rock blues and juxtaposing male/female vocals from Jack White and Alison Mosshart thump over a Quentin Tarantino-esque mini-film filled with bullets and various aggressive walking sequences. 

Striding away from each other and cocking guns, the male and female protagonists, played by the aforementioned famed duo eventually turn toward each other and aim. What follows is a violent, middle-of-the-desert battle of bullets as each fills the other with hot, automatic machine-gun lead. 

It's strangely entrancing to watch and suits the track down to the last in-time spray of ammo. Well, what else did you expect from Jonathan Glazer, the same guy who brought us Radiohead's Street Spirit (Fade Out) ( ), Karma Police ( ) and the feature film Sexy Beast ?

Check it out below and let us know what you thought.
