White Teeth, Black Thoughts is the sixth studio album by American band the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, released on July 16, 2013, on Space Age Bachelor Pad Records.

[14] By the following January, however, Perry clarified that the swing album had become the band's sole focus, though elements of the R&B project would eventually contribute to the development of White Teeth, Black Thoughts' bonus disc.

Much like Susquehanna, White Teeth, Black Thoughts features an extensive roster of guest musicians, primarily contributing instruments unique to the genres being performed.

Most notably, the album features appearances by Grammy Award-winning accordionist Buckwheat Zydeco on the zydeco-styled song "Tchoupitoulas Congregation", and Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band guitarist Zoot Horn Rollo, a Eugene resident and personal friend of Perry's, on the psychobilly cover "Flat Butts and Beer Guts".

[5][21] According to Perry, he had simply written "so many damn songs" in both the swing and rockabilly/Americana genres that he thought it better to split them into two separate albums rather than attempt to merge the two styles into something stylistically cohesive.

[23] On March 18, 2013, a digital download of the 11-track swing album was released exclusively for contributors to the Daddies' PledgeMusic campaign, while signed physical copies of the single and double-disc CDs were mailed out in the following weeks.

[27] In the midst of the tour on July 25, the band appeared on the Fox-owned KTTV program Good Day L.A., performing the song "I Love American Music" in promotion of their show at the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood that same evening.

Perry described the video as being inspired by "punk rock clip posters", Frank Zappa's 200 Motels and Luis Buñuel's The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, while noting the song was about a Gatsby-esque "one-percenter self-importantly celebrating his success", "the most American character, seduced by luxury but pricked by conscience".

[33][34] In addition to "huffing muggles" being 1930s/1940s slang for smoking marijuana, Perry elaborated on the meaning of the song by calling it "like an ear to the door of a casual conversation between an old experienced 'urbane' male and his younger acolytes with whom he is holding court.

[35] Similar in aesthetic style to "The Babooch", the video depicts Perry wandering across a desert landscape singing the song, intercut with vintage footage of World War II bombers.

Critical response to White Teeth, Black Thoughts was generally favorable, though, like Susquehanna five years prior, the album's independent release and distribution flew under the radar of most major music publications.

[36] Pop'stache contributed a glowing review, calling it "beautifully recorded" and the Daddies' "most mature and polished release to date", praising their "unconventional lyrics, bouncy guitars, and some strange drums" in making a "contemporary twist on a classic style".
