“Gold On The Ceiling” by The Black Keys

"Gold on the Ceiling" sits third on El Camino, the Black Keys' seventh album, and went out as its second single on February 25, 2012. Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney wrote it with Brian Burton, better known as Danger Mouse, who also produced it with the band, and Tchad Blake mixed it into a fat, glammy stomp.

The engine is a snarling organ riff and a barrage of handclaps, a sticky slab of retro garage pop that Rolling Stone's Will Hermes held up as proof of Danger Mouse's skills behind the desk. It went platinum in Australia and Canada and matched "Fever" as the band's biggest UK hit. There were two videos: Reid Long's tour and concert footage, and a stranger Harmony Korine clip in which the band ride around in baby carriers strapped to giant lookalikes played by two college basketball players.
