Joker & the Thief
Wolfmother
"Joker & the Thief" is the sixth single by Australian hard rock band Wolfmother, and the sixth and final from their debut album Wolfmother. It was released in the band's home country on 28 October 2006 and in the United Kingdom on 20 November 2006.[1] The music video for the song was nominated for the "Best Rock Video" and "Video of the Year" awards at the 2007 MTV Australia Awards.[2] The title is a reference to the characters in the famous Bob Dylan song "All Along the Watchtower".[citation needed]
The song features an interesting metric structure, switching abruptly between the 6/8 time of the intro and chorus and the 4/4 time of the verses.
"Joker & the Thief" is featured in such movies as Jackass Number Two,[3] Shoot 'Em Up,[4] Shrek the Third,[5] and The Hangover[6], and video games Need for Speed: Carbon[7] and MLB 07: The Show, as well as Mitsubishi and Peugeot commercials.[citation needed] It is also available as downloadable content for the music video game series Rock Band, and is playable on music video games Karaoke Revolution Presents American Idol Encore 2 and Rock Revolution.
