Seven Nation Army Trivia Questions

White came up with the iconic bass riff while warming up for a show in Auckland, initially thinking it was too simple to use.

The title refers to a childhood mishearing of 'Salvation Army' by Jack White, not any military coalition or video game.

Jack White was inspired by Bond themes when composing the riff, but the song was always intended for the White Stripes' album Elephant and was never submitted or rejected for a Bond film.

White played the riff on a semi-acoustic guitar through a Whammy pedal set to drop the pitch an octave, creating the bass effect.

Directed by Alex and Martin, the video was shot in one continuous take without cuts, entirely in black-and-white.

The instrumental track was laid down quickly, but Jack White recorded his vocals separately. The song was not completed in a single take.

In the US, the first million-selling digital download was 'Hollaback Girl' by Gwen Stefani in 2005, not 'Seven Nation Army'.

The chant's melody is derived from the U.S. Army song 'The Army Goes Rolling Along', an early-20th-century military march.
