		+	== Facts ==
		+	* It is believed by some that the song is in fact about Jason Stollsteimer from the Von Bondies, however White has done nothing to confirm or deny whether or not it is.
		+	* In an NPR interview, Jack White referred to "Blue Orchid" as the song that saved the album. He has denied that the song relates to the ending of his relationship with Renée Zellweger.
		+	* The recorded sound is produced by two guitars playing almost in unison, and each digitally combined with their own signal an octave lower. Live, the sound is produced by a bass-rich guitar tone, used in combination with a whammy pedal to create the heavily metallic sounding breaks of the song ("How dare you, how old are you now anyway" and "get behind me, get behind me now anyway".)
		+	* A rumored parody entitled "Blue Organ" is said to have been recorded by American parodist "Weird Al" Yankovic for his 12th studio album Straight Outta Lynwood.
