The song was featured in the 2009 film Zombieland.
The music video features the band playing on top of the former Goodrich rubber factory in Akron, Ohio, where they are shot dead while playing. A boy comes over, and a hand from the bass drum hands him a fabergé egg similar to the one on the cover of the album the song was taken from. When the boy leaves, the ghosts of Dan and Patrick get up and walk away to a diner, where small bits of diegetic dialogue between members of the band's ghosts interrupts the music ("So what do you think about being dead?" "...I don't know, my neck hurts." "At least I died doing what I love. Lip-synching. I love that shit") . Then the boy is shown going around showing people the egg. When the people he meets see the egg, they throw up a chicken egg and die. The boy consults a welder to destroy the egg, but it cannot be destroyed. Later, the members of the band's ghosts comes back to inhabit their dead bodies, which then get up and explode, dying once again. Carney is seen catching Auerbach as they die, screaming, "NOOOOO!"
The song was covered by Donnie Iris, and it was the only studio recording on his 2009 album Ah! Live!

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I want

The lyrics of The Black Keys's song Your Touch can be interpreted as a desperate plea for physical affection. The singer is expressing their desire for the touch of another person, someone they seem to be infatuated with. The repetitive chanting of "Your touch" further emphasizes the intensity of this craving. The lines "And I'll be good/Like I should/Waiting and such" could suggest that the singer is willing to behave a certain way in order to earn the attention they desire. The line "Misery/I need/Your touch" also indicates that the singer is unhappy without physical contact from the person they're addressing.
The song could also be interpreted as a commentary on the societal pressure to pursue romantic relationships. The singer seems to be obsessed with obtaining this person's touch, to the point where they're willing to be "a little naughty" in order to get it. The line "I got a saw to naw/Please rush" could be interpreted as a metaphor for actions taken in the heat of passion. These lyrics suggest a sense of urgency to fulfill the singer's physical desire, despite potential consequences.

When I was 14 I started my first band. Right before the first practice started, the bassist showed me this music video, and it was the first time I had ever heard the Black Keys. I was completely inspired and amazed by their music, and later that day I went to the local Barnes and Noble and found the first Black Keys album I could find, which was Rubber Factory. I have loved this band so much ever since and they have had a bigger impact on me as a musician than anybody else. Thank you Patrick and Dan!
