SEVEN NATION ARMY but it's in 7/4 time signature (THE WHITE STRIPES kinda prog cover)

Time to dance in a weird way. This is our almost prog/math rock cover of Seven Nation Army by @thewhitestripes but played in 7/4 (sometimes 7/8) time signature. Enjoy.

You can also find us on

Dave: Vocals, Guitars.
Joe: Bass, Keys.

This is unsettling, like moving all the furniture in a room a few centimeters - very similar, yet also totally different 😂 Excellent work as always!

[AlbertEisbaer]

Melodicka signature move: Making a song more complicated AND more fun!

Also: no cowbell has never slapped this hard.

That moment when you're listening to White Stripes, and you're like: "this stuff needs a little bit more weirdness"

[weasel_in_a_tophat]

Strange, this cover is 1/8 shorter than the original

[brahmpayton]

Its like a splinter in my mind. The uncanny valley of the song.

Very clever.

[FTForgotten]

I like it when artists take "odd" time signatures and make them sound natural. Let's normalize 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 based time signatures!

This makes me think, "What if Muse covered Seven Nation Army?" Just has that sound to it (at least to me).

[DavidBennettPiano]

Nice job! Particularly once the vocal melody comes in it really flows in 7!

[Shadowfell]

I love every single thing about this cover.

[GrigoryRechistov]

Thanks for adding the counter for us non-musicians!

[robcole]

Way better than the original.
“7” nation army seems obvious, after the fact.
Awesome composition.

[TheAsyouwysh]

this isnt even like a quirky cover of a song this is just good music

[kylie]

I won't lie at first I was SO disoriented! I could relate to Dave's face at the end of the song. But DAMN I LOVE IT. Joe, the thing looks great! And the blue colour aesthetic looks super nice! AND YAY FINALLY WHITE STRIPES.

[Unpopable_Bubble]

This would not have been nearly as mass-marketable as the original was, but honestly I like it better. And the original was a total banger, but this is just freakin cool.

Seven Nation Army played in 7/4 is what anxiety feels like

Joe & Dave + Very Technical Musical Premise = Joy
I love the intersection of math and music, precision and humanity, in these videos.

Mambo No. 5/4
3/4 Times A Lady
Love Potion #9/8
867-5309/Jenny (In the style of TOOL with as many time signature changes as Schism)

[Just_Sara]

Well, obviously, this is fantastic. :)

You guys making this sound like an actual challenge to play reminds me of how my choir teacher was so tired of hearing kids play "Heart and Soul" on the piano that he said we could only play it in a key OTHER than C.

[shoyuramenoff]

Everyone talking about how this makes people uncomfortable, but I think this makes the original sound almost uninspired. It's so interesting to listen to.

[Raguleader]

Reminds me of the XKCD comic about making the music skip to watch band geeks trip over themselves. Great song!
