I think I finally understand Icky Thump.
The song is just an excuse to listen to this sweet, skull warping guitar riff over and over again. The same way that tostidos are just an excuse to stuff your face with salsa. The rest of the song is Jack White ranting about prostitutes, immigration, and saying "La la la la" a lot. There might be meaning behind the cryptic lyrics, but honestly, I just tune out until the riff comes back.
I'm going to go listen to it some more.
get it on hype machine.
