How better to celebrate the end of the White Stripes than by covering Mozart with two of America's most ribald rappers? Jack White has announced his strangest collaboration in a career of strange collaborations, teaming up with Insane Clown Posse to sample one of the composer's lesser-known canons.

On 13 September, White's Third Man Records will release the single Leck mich im Arsch. Yes, the German means what you think. Insane Clown Posse's juggalo kings, Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J, wisecrack over stately strings and the garage-metal of Nashville band JEFF the Brotherhood. White produced the track (listen above).

Mozart was born 233 years and an ocean away from Detroit's Insane Clown Posse, but sometimes we can almost imagine the composer donning face-paint, sipping Faygo, and muttering about Christianity and the mystery of magnets. It is thought that Leck mich im Arsch was written at a Vienna party in 1782. While the original lyrics are concise – "lick my ass," Mozart suggests – later versions, including the text employed by White, add some punk-rock flair. "Laßt uns froh sein!" they sing. "Let us be glad! Grumbling is in vain!"

The single's B-side is called Mountain Girl, a "tall tale about about a shotgun wedding, meth problems and moonshine", according to a press release. Sounds like something by Haydn.
