'''"Jack the Ripper"''' is a song by The White Stripes. It has not been released on any album or single, and it currently can only be heard live. It is usually performed after "[[Astro]]" in concert. The song is not an original - it is actually a cover of a song by Screaming Lord Sutch, the shock rock artist who was known for dressing like Jack the Ripper in his often horror-themed concerts.
