"The White One Is Evil" is the third single from York based rock band Elliot Minor. It was released on October 29, 2007.^[1]

The music was written by Alex Davies, with lyrics by Alex and Ed Minton.

Music video

The video, directed by Corin Hardy,^[2] shows the band playing in an eerie woodland, late at night, with macabre characters. Two of the characters hold a chest from which another appears, a woman with a horse head. This is then followed by a bright desert-like setting where Alex Davies (lead vocals) plays while a winged woman dances around him, with the two hunchbacked characters also present. A meal then takes place between the woman, who no longer wears the horse head, but instead a mask, and a masked man. The two hunchbacks then return and take her away. The band are then seen playing again and the video brightens while Alex plays the end melody on a grand piano.^[3] In the extended version of the video, the studio the video has been filmed in can be seen as the camera pans out.^[4]

The video uses the radio edit of the song; the album includes the song in its entirety.

Chart position

"The White One Is Evil" reached number 24 in the mid-week chart position but failed to climb any higher and by the Official Chart Show was announced at number 27. By the following week it had dropped to number 64.
