We're gonna talk about it.

And in this single coming from a boy and a girl, we wrote these lyrics for it.

Now this song is sung all across the world

From the dances to the stadiums you have heard this song

And once we break it down and play the sins you'll be like, oh my God

You must listen to one song You gotta listen to one song There are no other options Because you must listen to one song, yeah.

Woo!

Luxury today we're talking about a rock song that kind of broke all the rules.

No bass guitar, no vocal chorus, and they're doing it fully in analog, right when we're in the middle of a digital music revolution.

That's right, Diallo. And somehow it becomes one of the most recognizable pieces of music on planet Earth. Not only does it become a multi-platinum global hit, it also has this whole second

life as a universal stadium chant. I mean, this might be the most famous riff of the 21st century.

Dun, dun dun dun dun dun dun dun. If you haven't guessed yet, we're talking one song,

and that song is Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes. I'm actor-writer-director and sometimes DJ Diallo-Riddle.

And I'm producer, DJ, songwriter, and musicologist Luxury, aka the guy who whispers,

Interpolation.

And this is one song.

The show where we break down the stems and stories behind iconic songs across genres to tell you why they deserve one more listen. That's right. You will hear these songs like you've never heard them before. And you can watch one song on YouTube. While you're there, please like and subscribe. All right, so today we're talking Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes when we first started talking about doing this podcast. It was on our short list. I don't know why it's so long. But now we're here. Luxury. When did you first come across this song and the White Stripes? It's so funny. There's a detail that doesn't matter, but it's a little bit relevant to the story, which is that I can't remember if an ex-girlfriend introduced me to the band,

or if I introduced her to the band. But that kind of matters, given what this is. It's like, I think, I'm like, I definitely introduced her, but she might have introduced it to me. Start a fight with your ex. That's smart. And the song was from DeStele, the second record. It's pretty good looking for a girl. Which, as I say that out loud, it feels like something a guy

would introduce to a girl, but maybe she introduced it

to me. I don't know.

R, if you're out there listening,

R, let me know, because I'm actually curious
