Wrapped in their colorful club scarves, sports loyalists all around the world have taken the simplistic yet epic riff of the White Stripes ‘Seven Nation Army’ to new heights. Massive crowds for some of the biggest soccer (football) games around the world have taken the song from the band’s ‘Elephant’ album to be a victory to chant-a-long with. It has been one of the band’s biggest songs with awards and radio play all over, but the song’s sports journey is chronicled here by music vlog Middle 8 along with the core parts of it’s composition.

Maybe this will help you prep for Jack White’s sold-out show at the Aragon coming up on Monday!
