    "Salute Your Solution" is a song by the Raconteurs. It is the first single from their second album Consolers of the Lonely.[2] It was released on March 25, 2008 the same day as the album release.[3] Jack White and Brendan Benson share lead vocal duties on the track. The song was featured in commercials for NFL on Fox, the 2009 comedy film Zombieland, the 2012 action film Premium Rush, the 2017 Power Rangers movie, and the launch trailer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. The song was also in the 2023 film The Flash, the documentary Warren Miller's Children of Winter, and is available as downloadable content for music games Guitar Hero World Tour and Rock Band 2.

    The single peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart, their second highest-charting single (after 2006's "Steady, As She Goes").

    Critical response

    [edit]

    Commenting on the rhythm section by Patrick Keeler (drums) and Jack Lawrence (bass), Prefix Magazine said that "their propulsive rhythm single-handedly saves first single 'Salute Your Solution'."[7] The Metro Times said the single "feature[s] monster guitar riffs that wouldn't sound out of place on a Free or early Aerosmith record."[8] This song was number 42 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.[9]
