So if you haven't listened to the new Dead Weather album Sea of Cowards yet, it's pretty freggin' awesome. But did you know that Jack White is a fan of none other than Lady Gaga? According to a blog written by wenn.com, White tried to channel the pop star on the song The Difference Between Us.

He says, "...I was thinking of the type of song a contemporary musician would write so I started thinking about her. I started thinking of how she would write the music to this song and got quite into being Lady Gaga in an odd way."

And while White can't say enough good things about Dead Weather frontwoman Alison Mosshart (best known as lead singer of The Kills), the whole thing is a bit ironic as TwentyFourBit reports that he also once described her as "Lady Gaga's Nightmare."

Check out the live performance of the song from Third Man Records last week and let us know if you hear a Gaga tinge to the edgy rock track.
