Triple Serving: “Walking with a Ghost” — Tegan and Sara, The White Stripes, DJ Party Ben

Any fan of indie music has likely come across the high-pitched poppy tunes of twin musicians Tegan and Sara. Formed in the late ’90s, the duo’s music is a wondrous blend of indie rock and pop.
Since then, Tegan and Sara have risen in fame, performing at countless shows and collaborating with well-known artists such as DJ Tiësto, Against Me and Theophilus London. In addition, their songs were featured in television shows like One Tree Hill, Grey’s Anatomy, 90210, The Hills and The L Word.
- A1 · Tegan and Sarawiry, start and stop
One of their popular singles, “Walking With a Ghost,” was released in 2004 on their fourth album, So Jealous. The album marked a departure from their indie folk sound into spunky pop rock. And the wiry, start-and-stop acoustic track perfectly featured the duo’s childlike vocals.
- B2 · The White Stripesred, white and riffs
The track was a hit, and was covered by the White Stripes (who would seem to be unlikely Tegan and Sara fans) in 2005. The White Stripes version featured Meg White’s jungle-worthy drum beats and a whiny Jack White singing over great electric guitar riffs.
The duo even released an animated music video for the song, doused in the group’s signature colors of red and white.
- C3 · DJ Party Bennow it’s in Paris
“Walking With a Ghost” was also covered by San Francisco DJ Party Ben, who did a mashup of the song with the track “Paris Four Hundred” by electro musician Mylo.
Retitled “Walking With a Ghost in Paris,” the song was remixed into a dance-worthy and addictive beat, and proves the mass appeal of Tegan and Sara.
Keep it loud
