Lyrics:
Conquest (Acoustic Mariachi version) [Version (a)]:
Conquest!
He was out to make a conquest
Didn't care what harm was done
Just as long as he won the prize
Conquest!
She was just another conquest
Didn't care whose heart was broke
Love to him was a joke
Until he looked into her eyes
And then in the strange way things happen
Their roles were reversed from that day
The hunted became the huntress
The hunter became the prey
Conquest!
Now you know who made the conquest
She with all her female guile
Led him helpless down the aisle
She had finally made a conquest
Aaaah aaah ahhh
Ohhhh oooh ohhh
And then in the strange way things happen
Their roles were reversed from that day
The hunted became the huntress
The hunter became the prey
Conquest!
Now you know who made the conquest
She with all her female guile
Led him helpless down the aisle
She had finally made a conquest
Conquest!
Conquest!
He was out to make a conquest
Didn't care what harm was done
Just as long as he won the prize
Conquest!
She was just another conquest
Didn't care whose heart was broke
Love to him was a joke
Until he looked into her eyes
And then in the strange way things happen
Their roles were reversed from that day
The hunted became the huntress
The hunter became the prey
Conquest!
Now you know who made the conquest
She with all her female guile
Led him helpless down the aisle
She had finally made a conquest
Aaaah aaah ahhh
Ohhhh oooh ohhh
And then in the strange way things happen
Their roles were reversed from that day
The hunted became the huntress
The hunter became the prey
Conquest!
Now you know who made the conquest
She with all her female guile
Led him helpless down the aisle
She had finally made a conquest
Conquest!
The Song:
"Conquest" is an old Patti Page song that the White Stripes covered on their album, Icky Thump. The song was released on a single, and one of the b-sides was this mariachi version of the song.
Beck doesn't appear on the remake, but he did produce it (in his living room no less). And I believe he helped find the mariachi band.

Notes:
- Beck and Jack White are friends who have worked together quite a bit.
Live, Beck has covered "Black Math." Jack White has shown up at a couple of Beck concerts over the years, joining in on "Cold Brains," "99," and "Last Fair Deal Gone Down." Beck showed up once at a White Stripes concert to play bass on "The Denial Twist."
In the studio, Jack White plays bass on "Go It Alone." Beck produced (in his living room, no less), and played, on a Stripes single with these songs: "Honey, We Can't Afford To Look This Cheap," "It's My Fault For Being Famous," "Conquest (Mariachi version)," and "Cash Grab Complications On The Matter."
Beck was in a White Stripes music video as well.
