Today, it is scarce and obtains high prices on auction websites like eBay. Many copies of White Blood Cells, The White Stripes' third album, were packaged with a bonus DVD which featured an audio track of "Lafayette Blues" (as well as "Hand Springs").

The lyrics of "Lafayette Blues" are a list of French names of streets in the band's hometown, Detroit, Michigan. Live performances of "Lafayette Blues" contain various arrangements of the names.
