Seven Nation Army is a song by The White Stripes, released in 2003 on the album Elephant. Its central riff became far bigger than the original rock single after being adopted by football supporters and other sports crowds as a chant. That stadium use helped turn the track into a long-running internet favorite for hype edits, entrances and victory clips. Online, short cuts of the riff are still widely used because the pattern is instantly familiar and creates momentum within a second or two.
