From Quiz Song by Song: "Seven Nation Army"

Answer: The Salvation Army

According to Rolling Stone magazine, which ranked this song number 36 on its 2021 list of the 500 greatest songs of all time, Jack White once said, "I didn't have lyrics for it until later on, and I was just calling it 'Seven Nation Army' - that's what I called the Salvation Army when I was a kid. So that was just a way for me to remember which [riff] I was talking about." The Salvation Army, which grew out of the Holiness Movement, is known for its widespread charity work, including disaster relief efforts and service to the homeless. Its members consist of over 1.7 million "soldiers," "officers," and "adherents" known as "Salvationists." They have churches called "Salvation Army corps" (or sometimes temples or citadels) and maintain thrift stores and adult rehabilitation centers.
