If I didn’t know better I would say she was lip-synching there.

I also shout fake - at no point did she bite the head off a live alligator which is well known to be one of her signature stage performances.

Darcy Clay’s '97 cover is another interesting one.
RIP Darcy. (The DIY kiwi multi-instrumentalist infamously killed himself 2-weeks before his scheduled performance at a suicide prevention and awareness gig.) Most known for his great song “Jesus I Was Evil”.

Given Darcy’s version was quite similar to how Jack White covered it later, I’ve always liked to believe someone gave Mr White a copy of Mr Clay’s EP at some point, which inspired the Stripes version.
Also, a minor point of note: I’d always thought he was an American living in New Zealand, but wikipedia tells me was an Aucklander that spent a few months in the US and Oz, so that’s my thing I learned today.

It’s more Blackened Death than straight Death. High vocals instead of guttural growls.
THIS HAS BEEN A PSA ON BEHALF OF METAL PEDANTS INTERNATIONAL
