The Raconteurs have teamed up with Paul Ruebens, best known for his work as Pee Wee Herman, (although some might dispute that he is best known for that), in a brand new video for their single, “Steady, As She Goes.” In this video, each band member plays an imaginative speed-racing hero in an old-fashioned soap box race, following the heroes on their cut-throat chase for first place. Ruebens plays an unscrupulous pit boss, stooping to low levels to ensure a win for his racer.

The video will premiere exclusively on Yahoo! Music ( http://www.music.yahoo.com ) on Monday, June 19th.
