Jack White has many talents, from upholstering furniture to running a record label. And now, in a resurfaced video, the singer-guitarist shows off his encyclopedic Beatles knowledge.

“So Jack, you claim you can name any Beatles song within one second,” an off-camera voice tells White, adding, “and you want to prove it right now?” White agrees and starts to listen intently, nailing each song: “Boys,” “Lady Madonna,” “And Your Bird Can Sing,” “Julia,” “Roll Over Beethoven,” “I’m Looking Through You,” and so on. (He only stumbles on one, choosing “Back In the U.S.S.R.” for “Dear Prudence,” but since he catches himself, we won’t count it.)
