Colbert debuted his new Jack White-produced single, “Charlene II (I’m Over You)” on “The Colbert Report” Thursday night.
Colbert has featured White on “The Colbert Report” all week during his “rock odyssey” series, “Dr. Pepper Presents StePhest ColbChella `011 — Rock You Like a Thirst-Icane.”
The former White Stripe and his Nashville-based record label, Third Man Records, produced the track. The Black Belles, a goth girl rock band on Third Man, performed backup.
The reference of the song is one only die-hard members of the Colbert Nation likely will grasp. It’s a follow-up to his mock `80s new wave song, “Charlene (I’m Right Behind You).”
