    It's possible. "Icky Thump" is actually a mixture of the best music genres. According to Wikipedia...

    On a track-by-track analysis at Wireless Bollinger, the album is described as "Cherry-picking from a century of the nation’s musical genres, Icky Thump is a crush of styles, each interpreted through The White Stripes distinctive lens. It’s delta-blues, desert-rock, thrash metal; full of styles that are uniquely, identifiably American." [23]

    Sounds like something from Whole Lotta Love. Jimmy "borrowed" it from someone else.

    Having just watched it on TV for the 107th time I can't help but wonder if it isn't Seven Nation Army played backwards.
