Jimmy the Exploder is a song by The White Stripes that can be heard on their debut album. It is about a monkey who explodes everything that isn't red. Jack thought that this song was the perfect song for Meg to play.

Band Quotes

Jack White : "She was playing so childishly, everyone I'd ever played with was, like, male drummers. I'd been writing all these childish songs, like 'Jimmy the Exploder' from our first album - this story I made up about this monkey who exploded things that weren't the colour red. So when Meg started playing that way, I was like, Man, don't even practice! This is perfect."
