Jack White and his Raconteurs bandmates filmed a video at the House on the Rock

I guess it was only a matter of time before Jack White — and his love of quirky, vintage stuff — found his way to the House on the Rock.

The oddball tourist attraction in Spring Green is the setting for a new video from White's band the Raconteurs. It's for the song "Somedays (I Don't Feel Like Trying)."

Those who've spent an afternoon gawking at the oddities at the House on the Rock will see a lot that's familiar. At one point, White strolls along a walkway near the mouth of the giant statue of a toothy sea creature. Later, Brendan Benson and the rest of the band jam in the famed Infinity Room.

For those unfamiliar, the House on the Rock is a 60-plus-year-old attraction west of Madison created by Alex Jordan Jr. and featuring an eclectic mix of themed rooms. One has what's dubbed the world's largest indoor carousel, and another is a collection of machine-operated instruments. The aforementioned Infinity Room is an extended walkway that sticks out more than 200 feet over a valley.

If these bizarre settings seem perfect for a music video, Jack White and friends aren't the first band to film a video there. 10,000 Maniacs did it back in the late 1990s.

The Raconteurs video was directed by Ben Chappell and shot by Nyk Allen. On Instagram, Allen called the House on the Rock "a wondrous backdrop full of peculiar visuals."

It's likely the video was filmed around the time of the Raconteurs' visit to Wisconsin in July, which included a sold-out show at the Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee.

The Raconteurs, best known for the 2006 song "Steady, As She Goes" and as the first of White's non-White Stripes musical endeavors around that time, released "Help Us Stranger," their first album in 11 years, in June.
