09 May 99 - 03:17 PM (#76995) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: Joe Offer I always thought the best-known recording of "Sound Off" was the one done by Vaughn Monroe in the early 1950's.

09 May 99 - 08:26 PM (#77052) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: Tim Jaques tjaques@netcom.ca As I indicated on the Jody thread a while back, even the Romans sang or chanted them. I once read a translation of a Roman jody wherein the soldiers complained of Scippio Africanus getting all the wine and pretty women, while they did all the fighting. I've often if that song that starts off mentioning Lord Nelson is a true marching song, used by sailors on those occassions when they had to march to fight on land. Starts off "Lord Nelson had a remedy to cure your mal-de-mer", which is sometimes mondegreened into "moldy mare".:) |

09 May 99 - 09:07 PM (#77061) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: Tim Jaques tjaques@netcom.ca "mal-de-mer" -- I think I got the spelling right. It means sea-sickness. I can't remember what His Lordship had advised as a cure -- probably the lash. IIRC, the chorus also has a play on the word "oar" -- remember it would have been English sailors singing the song. "Hoarse weasel" -- a mondegreen for the title of a nasty Nazi song, which seems to have a tune suitable for an Anglican hymn? (See previous thread on subject.) |

You being of a certain age, I think, may remember that in the 1950s there could be simultaneous, multiple recordings (even hits) on the same song. Some I remember--not counting God-awful R&B covers by white folks--"Hey There", "Answer Me Oh My Love [Lord]" "Unchained Melody", "This Old House" and on and on and on. After I posted earlier, I recalled that Art Lund [perhaps] had also sung "Sound Off". |

13 Aug 04 - 07:10 PM (#1247186) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: CET I'm glad to see this thread being revived. I recently had a practical lesson in the value of marching songs when I marched with my team in the Four Days Marches in Nijmegen, Holland. I was the lead singer for our team, and I found that a good song really does help you push through the pain. Some of my favourites were "Halo Infantry" (I have no idea what the Halo means) and "Mama, mama can't you see" and a French song "Mon pere n'avait que dix poulets". They had a powerful rythymn and were easy to sing loud. Some other good songs, like Barrett's Privateers, didn't work as well on the march because I was almost gasping for air at the end of a line. The Canadian Army has a long tradition of pretty filthy marching songs too, but we were under strict orders not to sing anything really offensive. Not to worry, the Dutch units took care of that. They were always singing, mostly songs in English that they'd picked up from the Brits and Americans. I heard a lot of good singing from the Brits and Americans, but not the obscene stuff I remember from years ago. For a folkie like me, it was fascinating to be part of an active folk process. We heard another Canadian team singing "Halo Infantry" towards the end of the third day. Their lead singer taught it to me, and said that he had heard an American team singing it a couple of years before. Now that the subject has been brought up again, are their any recordings of Jodys or marching songs. I probably won't have a chance to do Nijmegen again, but if I do I'd like to learn some new songs.

I recall that a few years ago, a batch of us (re-enactors) were in full kit, marching through Autuilles (a town on part of the Somme battlefield) to 'A little Bit of Cucumber', and marching down the country roads to "Serjeant Soloman Isaacstien" and a 'filk' version of "Doctor Shelly" (insulting one of our members), they all worked and they all helped the march. If it has a simple rhythmn, can be adjusted to the marching empo and the lines are short enough to allow breathing, you csn march to it. Walrus |

Until I read that post I didn't connect the two "Mama, Mama can't you see" children's handclap rhymes that I had collected with army marching chants. Both rhymes start the same. Mama Mama can't you see what that's army done to me. Then the rhymes change up. One continues with these words: It took away my MTV now I got to watch Barney Tic tac toe three in a row Barney got shot {killed} by GI Joe. Don't stop till your hands get hot Don't stop till your hand gets red. {Then girls and boys do fast hand clap routine} The other version says: It made me clean the living room. It made me clean the bathroom. It said Michael Jackson is a fag. Put him in a garbage bag. Tick tac toe three in a row. Tickle yourself! -- {Both collected from African American girls and boys, Pittsburgh, Pa area, 1999, 2000} Has anyone else heard rhymes like these used by children? What these rhymes say about the children's values and "political" views is a whole 'nother story... |

Our Sergeant-Major jumped from 40,000 feet (3X) And he ain't gonna jump no more CHORUS: And the Lord said, Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die, Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die, Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die, When your balls hang lower than your paratrooper boots (Or repeat "And he ain't gonna jump no more" if you want to be more polite) 2. He was the last to leave the plane, the first to hit the ground (3X) And he ain't gonna jump no more CHORUS 3. He landed on the runway like a little blob of shit (or "like a blob of strawberry jam) (3X) And he ain't gonna jump no more CHORUS 4. They scraped him off the runway with a little silver spoon (3X) And he ain't gonna jump no more CHORUS 5. They put him in a matchbox and they sent him home to Mom (3X) And he ain't gonna jump no more CHORUS 6. They put him on the mantelpiece for everyone to see (3X) And he ain't gonna jump no more CHORUS 7. Now he is a soldier in the Army of the Lord (3X) And he ain't gonna jump no more (I learned this last verse from a British unit at the Nijmegen Marches this summer) Edmund |

30 Sep 04 - 03:00 PM (#1285137) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: PoppaGator Funny how there are so often two threads running on the same subject (e.g., this and "Jody's children," two current threads on tips for guitar beginnners, etc.). Guest's long set of verses to "Mama Mama Can't You See," 2 or 3 posts above, is great. I had forgotten one of my favorite couplets: "Ain't no use in lookin' down / Ain't no discharge on the ground." I was surprised, however, to see the word "gun" appear in several places. When I was in US Army Basic Training, you could catch some serious hell for using that word -- the correct terminology was "weapon." But then, "weapon" doesn't rhyme nearly as easily as "gun"! |

02 Oct 04 - 10:16 AM (#1286831) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: Azizi This comment is in tune with the rainy weather we're having in Pittsburgh today: It just occurred to me that the cadence refrain "he ain't gonna jump no more" sounds very much like the African American antebellum dance song refrains "Ain't gonna {gwine} rain no more" and "Ain't gonna work no more." Has anyone else written about this similarity? I see that there is a thread for "Ain't gonna rain no more". I will post this observation there also. |

16 Jun 06 - 08:31 PM (#1761874) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: CET Samantt: I could give you the lyrics to quite a few songs, but if you don't know the tunes the words won't help you much. A lot of good marching songs are based on traditional and older British and American popular tunes. For example, "Our Sergeant Major" mentioned earlier in this thread is sung to "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." I have had good results with a couple of sea chanties, "Johnny Come Down to Hilo" and "Roll the Old Chariot". If you know any sea chanties, some could work well for you. Some of my favourite marching songs are "Mama, mama, can't you see", "They say that in the Army", "Hey, hey, Captain Jack", and "Way, hey, rock and roll." The words are often pretty stupid and the tunes are simple, but they can keep you going when you are tired and your feet hurt. You will need at least one real song leader, somebody who can sing loud and isn't tone deaf. A "good" voice is nice, but not essential. Call and response songs are the easiest because the whole group doesn't have to learn all the words. However, the song leader has to know the tune cold, even if he or she uses a song sheet for the words. Simple tunes, without too much variation in pitch and fairly short lines, work the best. I have found that some good songs don't adapt easily to marching because they are just too hard to sing while marching at 5 km an hour or more. My marching was done wearing a rucksack, so it might be easier for your group. Final word of advice: make sure your cadets drink lots of water throughout the march. They will suffer if they don't. Good luck Edmund |

27 Feb 07 - 10:12 PM (#1981391) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: CET Guest: That's definitely a Canadian army song, but the correct title is "Old King Cole". I first heard when I was in Army Cadets years ago. It goes like this: Old King Cole was a (merry old soul)(or horny ass hole) And a merry old soul was he And he called for his pipe in the middle of the night (in the first that I first heard it was "he called for his wife") And he called for his privates three. Beer, beer, beer said the privates, Merry men are we There's none so fair as can compare To (insert name of unit or other group that rhymes with we, e.g. Bravo Company) The song then builds, adding a rank each time, always ending up with beer, beer, beer said the privates. There are various versions. One that comes to mind right now is: Left, right, left, right, left said the corporals Move to the right in threes said the sergeants Put that man on charge said the warrants What shall we do now? said the louies We do all the work said the captains We want six weeks leave said the majors Bring us in more wine said the colonels Where the hell's my car, said the generals Edmund |

18 Mar 07 - 01:33 PM (#2000309) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: GUEST,lyrics anyone? I am a cadet in the Air Training Corps (Air Cadets) and currently doing training for the nijmegen march, although I can't do it this year as I'm not yet 16. So far the training weekends I've done have gone really well, and I've definately been helped along by the singing (good and bad). I especially like 'Way, hey rock and roll' - that's best in the early morning down by the sea front when it's raining. I've sung a lot of the songs mentioned here, but some with slightly different versions. Does anyone know any different lyrics to the song with the chorus "Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die"? I heard a couple of people singing a really good version with not so many repeats and I really want to learn it. Here's another song that has a good tune: (Verses to be repeated after each line) When my grandaddy Was one hundred and one He did the Nijmegen marches Just for fun Chorus (to be sung after each verse): He sang 'your left, your left' (others) Your left, your left Your left, right, left (others) Your left, right, left He sang 'your left, your left' (others) Your left, your left Your nijmegen left (others) Your nijmegen left When my grandaddy Was one hundred and two He did the Nijmegen marches Just like me and you Chorus Verses are repeated with the following: One hundred and three - He did the Nijmegen marches/ Between his lunch and his tea One hundred and four - He said I can't slow down now/ For you boys no more One hundred and five - Well he taught me the two-step/ For the Nijmegen jive One hundred and six - He said well come on boys/ This ones for forty clicks One hundred and seven - Well the poor man died/ And he went to heaven One hundred and eight - With his head held high/ Walked through those pearly gates One hundred and nine - Well he had all them angels/ All marching in time One hundred and ten - He said let me back down/ I want to do that again Thanks to Edmund for all his suggestions and tips on doing the actual Nijmegen. You should get webbing - it's so much better than wearing a rucksack. |

26 Mar 07 - 09:32 PM (#2008036) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: CET I can't think right now of other lyrics to go with the chorus of "Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die." I'll post them later on if I come up with something. I am training (with my boss's permission) for Nijmegen yet again, but I have no more expectation than last year of being able to go. However, it does me good and gets me out of the office three times a week. The new small pack that has now been issued to just about everybody in the Canadian Army is a good piece of kit - a lot better than the old rucksack. We have to carry 10 kg of dead weight, i.e. beyond water and food, so I'm not sure that webbing would do the trick. I'm glad to see someone your age using the Mudcat. Why not get a membership?

31 May 07 - 08:17 PM (#2065353) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: CET Guest: It sounds like some of the lyrics you quoted belong in a different song altogether. The part in your version that goes: "I.............am crazy Crazy, crazy, crazy Certified crazy. Bonified crazy, My Mama says I'm crazy, The Lone Ranger, Hi Ho Silver. Getti up, Getti up, getti up, up up" doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Captain Jack song. At any rate, I haven't heard these words in the last three years. Do we know each other, by the way? I may be at Nijmegen this summer, so say hello if you make it there. CET |

10 Jun 07 - 05:55 PM (#2073160) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: CET Nowadays at Nijmegen you're likely to hear that one sung by the Dutch, but not by the Canadians or Americans. The stars have aligned themselves in my favour, and it looks like I will be marching at Nijmegen after all, but on an international team rather than one of the Canadian Forces teams. Here's one that I wrote last year for my Nijmegen team, to the tune of "Johnny Come Down to Hilo". Local references: CADPAT = Canadian Disruptive Pattern camouflage; the Rideau is the Rideau River that joins the Ottawa River not very far from my house: JOHNNY COME DOWN THE RIDEAU I ain't never seen the like since I've been born, Canadian soldier with his rucksack on, Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man! CHORUS: Oh wake her, oh shake her! Shake that gal with the CADPAT on! Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man! I heard the Sergeant-Major say I like marching every day! Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man! Oh, get your ass up off your rack Cause we're marching there and we're marching back! Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man! Oh, life is good and life is sweet When you've got blisters on both your feet! Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man! I don't go marching for the cash. I only do it 'cause I like heat rash! Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man! Oh, I got a gal across the sea, She's a marching fool and she says to me Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man! I wish we'd march the civilian way, And stop at Timmie's nine times a day! Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man! I heard my team leader shout My toenail's black and it's falling out! Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man! You ask me how we deal with pain. The secret is we have no brain! Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man! Why do I march in any weather? It's just because I like black leather! Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man! Oh, you don't need drugs, you don't need a pill. You'll never get sick if you just do drill! Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man! Oh, when it rains, it's a damn sure bet That the infantry is getting wet! Johnny come down the Rideau, poor old man! |

And he ain't going to jump no more. Chorus: 4. The lines all wrapped around his neck, The D rings broke his dome, His lift webs wrapped themselves In knots around each skinny bone, His canopy became his shroud As he hurtled to the ground , And he ain't going to jump no more. Chorus: 5.

Chorus: 6. He hit the ground, the sound was "splat", The blood went spurting high, His pals were heard to say Oh what a lovely way to die, They rolled him up still in his chute, And poured him from his boots, And he ain't going to jump no more. Chorus: 7. There was blood upon his lift webs, There was blood upon his chute, Blood that came a trickling From his paratrooper boots, And there he lay like jelly In the welter of his gore, And he ain't going to jump no more.

03 Mar 08 - 10:54 AM (#2278260) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: GUEST,Chicken Charlie At Ft. Benning, 1968 we used a version closest to what Suz posted just above. The chorus as we did it was "Gory, gory," not "Glory, glory...." And we'd substitute the name of our least popular 'TAC' e.g., "Sergeant Brinker was the last to jump, the first to hit the ground ...." Other than that, that one's been about covered. Oh, but at the risk of being bashed as a pedant, it's got to be, "They took the Flying BOXCAR up to forty thousand feet," not the Flying Fortress, a bomber that wouldn't have anything to do with Airborne. The Flying Boxcar, should anyone care, was an old twin-boom two-engine plane, the C-119. We were about at the end of its tenure; later it was probably, "They took the C-one-thirty up to forty thousand feet." Actually I don't remember literally marching to "Helluva Way to Die." We sang it if we were being trucked between training sites--just like in Band of Brothers, where they sing it on the road. The song for the three-mile run was generally another one already noted but with minor changes. Our version always revolved around Bo Diddly Bo Diddly Bo Diddly, where you been? Round the world and back again. BD, BD, have you heard? I'm gonna jump from a big iron bird. And so on, as above. When they did let us march and not double-time, a standard was "Yellow Ribbon" In her hair, she wore a yellow ribbon, She wore it in the springtime and in the month of May (hey! hey!) And if you asked her why the Hell she wore it, She wore it for her trooper who was far, far away. Far away! (Far away!) Far away! (Far away!) She wore it for her trooper who was far far away. Around the block, she pushed the baby carriage, She pushed it in the springtime ... And if you .... she pushed it, She put it for her trooper .... Sometimes it was done "for her trooper in the airborne infantry," even though that cost the rhyme. Madamoiselle from Armentriers (pronounced ar-men-TREERS regardless of what the real French pronuncement might be) is WW I era, but it was brought back in WW II. MfA, parlez vous? MfA, parlez vous? MfA has not been kissed for twenty years! Inky dinky parlez vous. The second lieutenant carries a pack, parlez vous? x2 The 2nd Lt. carries a pack; we hope to Hell it breaks his back! Inky dinky parlez vous. They say this is a mechanized war--parlez vous? x2 They say this is a mechanized war; what in the Hell are we walking for? Inky dinky parlez vous. ---- There was a Bismarck era German one that I hope I can find some day; all I know is one couplet & I'd be thankful for more. Bear in mind that the first line is just nonsense and "Schneidig" is evidently an obsolete usage, but it was: Zicke! Zacke! Jup hei die! Schneidig ist die Infantrie. Free translation: "Ta-ra-ra boom de ay! The Infantry is snappy." Finally, again at Ft. Benning, late sixties, we had two Irish Guards officers sent over to train with us in an "exchange program." They had a great one about a group of British soldiers going through all the miseries of service and horrors of war. I only heard it once, and only recall that the last line was about what they planned to do when they got out: "And we'll fornicate our ----ing lives away!" If anyone can help with the last two, I'd appreciate it. Chicken Charlie 42nd Training Company (Airborne) |

04 Mar 08 - 06:39 AM (#2279045) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: GUEST,Charmion's brother Andrew In response to Curious's request of December 7, I remember the lyrics as: If I were the marrying kind, which, thank the Lord, I'm not, Sir, The only man whom I would wed would be a Number One, Sir; He'd order "Fire!" and I'd order "Fire!" and we'd order "Fire!" together. We'd be all right in the middle of the night ordering "Fire!" together. Number Two pulls the cord, Number Three lays on, Number Four plants pole, etc. Perhaps the song Chicken Charlie is trying to remember is "I don't want to join the Army." I don't want to join the Army, I don't want to go to war; I'd rather hang around Pickadilly Underground Living off the earnings of a high-born lady. I don't want a bayonet up me arsehole, I don't want me bollocks shot away. I'd rather be in England -- Merry, merry England -- Rogering me bloody life away, Gor blimey. Monday, I touched her on the ankle, Tuesday, I touched her on the knee, Wednesday night, success! I lifted up her dress, Thursday night, she asked me home to tea. Friday night, I put my hand upon it. Saturday night, she gave me balls a tweak. On Sunday after supper, I shoved the Old Boy up 'er, And now she earns me seven and six a week, Gor Blimey.... |

27 Mar 08 - 08:36 PM (#2299230) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: CET Here's "Wey, hey, Rock and Roll" thanks to Google. I've changed a word here and there, to conform with the lyrics as I remember them. Also, the last verse below was not on the version I found through my Google search. I liked to sing this with a different chorus that went like this: Halo, halo infantry Queen of Battle, follow me Canadian life's the life for me But nothing in the world is free That's how I heard it in 2004, but I'm sure that "Canadian life" was something else in the original. The tune was also different from the tune that is commonly sung to to "Way, hey, Rock and Roll". Rock n' Roll - Call & Response Chorus: Wahey Rock and Roll Wahey Rock and Roll A little bit of rhythm and soul Early in the morning You've landed on the beach again Your orders are, you're diggin' in The rising sun's a beautiful thing Early in the morning Chorus You stand-to when the sun goes down You're watching all the ground around You stand to watch it rise again Early in the morning Chorus From the bush a rustling sound Someone's moving on your ground The enemy's lying all around Early in the morning Chorus The enemy starts a creeping in Machine gun crews begin to grin The GPMG makes a terrible din - (Sung jimpy) Early in the morning Chorus You hear a bullet whistle by You see your buddies fall and cry Behind you there's a final sigh Early in the morning Chorus You see the Harrier over head And then you see a flash of red The rockets are gone, the enemy's dead Early in the morning Chorus You look back to the rear and then You see the choppers coming in The rising sun's a beautiful thing Early in the morning Chorus They're hovering just above your head And then they're down and someone said We'll take the wounded then the dead Early in the Morning Chorus Now look up to the front you men They'll come again, you know not when The rising sun's a beautiful thing Early in the morning Chorus The mortar bombs are raining down But you just want to hug the ground You hear your buddies calling round Early in the morning Chorus Your plane is flying far away You know you're homeward bound today It's sad so many had to pay Early in the morning Chorus You're on the street You're walking tall You turn to hear the people call You've made the grade, you've done it all Early in the morning Chorus |

02 May 08 - 02:26 PM (#2331374) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: GUEST,Jay Dougal Just been walking at the WARMA march last weekend, and a Dutch group went by us the first day and were singing "hail oh hail oh infantry", but it did sound like halo Infantry. And that would make sense because I heard "Airbourn rangers life for me". But since googling hail oh hail oh infantry I found this link http://users.netropolis.net/schwartz/jodie.htm Was still a good song and has been stuck in my head all week. |

02 May 08 - 03:11 PM (#2331405) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: Azizi The website that Jay Dougal pointed us to has a number of cadences whose tunes and words appear to be modified versions of 19th/early 20th century African American dance songs and rhymes {that in the late 20th & early 21st century would be considered children's rhymes, but didn't necessarily originate as rhymes for children}. For instance, see these running cadence chants with either the title of the title or the verse/s of the source songs or rhymes given in brackets: "Sittin' on a mountain top, beating my drum Beat it so hard that [t]he MP's come I said MP, MP, don't arrest me Arrest that leg behind the tree He stole the whiskey, I stole the wine All I ever do is double-time " [...Oh, Mistah Washin'ton, Don't whoop me, Whoop dat N**ger Back 'hind dat tree. He stole tucky, I didn't steal none, Go wuk him in de co'n field jes fer fun.] -from T-U-Turkey in Thomas W. Talley: Negro Folk Rhymes, Wise And Otherwise {Kennikat Press Edition, 1968; pps 6-7; originally published, 1922 {also found as "policeman, policeman, don't arrest me" in some collections of children's rhymes} ** Two old ladies lying in bed One rolled over to the other and said, "I wanna be an Airborne Ranger Live a life of sex and danger Blood, guts, sex, and danger That's the life of an Airborne Ranger!" [line #1-2; "Shortnin Bread"] ** "AWOL, AWOL, where've you been? Down in the bars, drinking gin What ya gonna do when you get back? Sweat it all out on the PT track" ["Hambone"] ** There are other examples on that page, but here's a marching cadence posted there whose source song is very easy to identify: "You get a line and I'll get a pole ) CC Honey, honey ) G You get a line and I'll get a pole ) CC Baby, baby ) G You get a line and I'll get a pole ) ALL We'll go down to the fishin' hole ) ALL Refrain: Honey, oh baby, be mine ) ALL Go to your left, your right, your left ) ALL Go to your left, your right, your left, hey! ) ALL I had a girl who lived on a creek Honey, honey I had a girl who lived on a creek Baby, baby I had a girl who lived on a creek She was cute and she was sweet I had a girl, looked good in blue Honey, honey I had a girl, looked good in blue Baby, baby I had a girl, looked good in blue She could make a fool out of you" [The Crawdad Song] Here are the instructions that were posted on that page for that song: "This one doesn't follow the normal call and echo of most cadences. The cadence caller says the CC lines, and the group replies with the G lines, instead of echoing the CC lines, then all call the ALL lines, with no echoing." |

02 May 08 - 03:38 PM (#2331432) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: Azizi Here's one more example from that http://users.netropolis.net/schwartz/jodie.htm website. They say that in the Army, the chicken's mighty fine One jumped off the table and started marking time Refrain: Oh, Lord I wanna go But they won't let me go (group ends this line with home, stretched out over 8 paces, and a "Hey" on the right foot to end the refrain) They say that in the Army, the pay is mighty fine They give you a hundred dollars and take back ninety-nine They say that in the Army, the coffee's mighty fine It looks like muddy water, and tastes like turpentine They say that in the Army, the biscuits are mighty fine One rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine They say that in the Army, the meat is mighty fine Last night we had ten puppies, this morning only nine They say that in the Army, the shoes are mighty fine You ask for size eleven, they give you size nine They say that in the Army, the pancakes are mighty fine You can try to chew them, but you're only wasting time They say that in the Army, the bed's are mighty fine But how the hell would I know, I've never slept in mine They say that in the Army, the mail is so great Today I got a letter dated 1948 They say that in the Army, the hours are just right Start early in the morning and work on through the night They say that in the Army, the buses are mighty fine One went round the corner, and left three wheels behind They say that in the Army, the coffee's mighty fine It's good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine They say that in the Army, the chicken's mighty fine One jumped off the table and killed a friend of mine -snip- I'm not sure whether this chant has once source song or several. There are a number of rhymes in Talley's Negro Folk Rhyme book that have lines with the end rhymes "fine/time/nine", but one old rhyme that comes to mind is this one: "Some folks say dat a N**ger won't steal, But Mosser cotch six in a watermillion fiel'" -excerpt from "'They Steal' Gossip" ; Talley, p. 110 [Kennikat Edition, 1968 {I've also seen the word "N**gers" given as "preachers". ** The end rhymes "fine/dime/time/turpentine" are also commonly found in contemporary African American children's rhymes {and contemporary rhymes from other children as well} However, maybe because that product isn't used anymore and children aren't familiar with it, I haven't found any lines in contemporary children's rhymes that rhyme the word "iodine" with any of those other "ine" or near "ine" words. ** The person who posted that "They Say..." cadence and the "You Get A Line" cadence found in my last post to this thread indicated that they were marching cadences and wrote this comment about them: "These two have been around for a long time. There is an old US Army Signal Corps film from the First World War which shows basic trainees at Fort Leonard Wood singing these". ** Thanks to the person who collected those candences [I couldn't find his [her?] name on that website]. And thanks also to Jay Dougal for alerting Mudcat to that website! |

20 Nov 08 - 12:00 AM (#2498184) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: Azizi Chris Wraith, I just tried to email this message to you but the email address given wouldn't work. I'm wondering if you could post information about where and when you learned or heard the cadences you posted. Also, I have a page for cadences on my website,Cocojams at http://www.cocojams.com/military_cadences.htm Since children comprise a large percentage of the visitors to that site, I only post "clean" versions of cadences, without curse words. I'm interested in posting these two cadences you shared because they "sound" a lot like children's chants: Left left left right (airborne) left left left right *airborne) 1 2 3 4 (oo ah airborne) Your left your left your left right left your military left your ledt your right now pick up the step your left your right your left ============== let me heear your bark to the left (element turns head to left and barks) let me see you bark to the right (barks to the right) Let me see you bark two times (barks left then right) goddamn thats tight your out of sight your left right your left -You can change bark to stomp, lean, freeze- ================= -snip- Do I have your permission to post a modified version of those chants that excludes curse words and substitutes a word such as "Ooh, that's tight out of sight your left your right your left? If so, I would label the parts of those cadences that are revised. And of course I would acknowledge your contribution, and the fact that these cadences were first posted on Mudcat. If you have other clean or modified clean examples, I would appreciate if you would share them with me for Cocojams and of course also for Mudcat. Hoping to "hear" from you, Best wishes, Azizi |

31 Mar 09 - 05:56 PM (#2601668) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: GUEST,Ed Cartwright Amazing how many of us experienced Nijmegan through the Air Training Corps (41F will rule forever) Most of the cadances I know are already up, but I do have one addition. In the song (usually call and refrain in my experience) "They say that in the Army", firstly it should be noticed that Navy, Air Force and Corps all scan just as well. Secondly there's a chorus after each observation: Leader--"Oh Lord I wanna go-oh" squad--"but they won't let me go-oh" Leader--"Oh Lord I wanna go-oh" All--"Hoooooooooome" Perhaps a little of my career history... I used to work in Chicago in a large department store I used to work in Chicago but I don't work there any more A lady came in for some nails, nails from the store... Nails she wanted a screw she got, and I don't work there any more" ...continue, one verse by each squad member for as long as your gutter minds can come up with really poorly disguised double entendres. |

18 Aug 09 - 09:01 PM (#2703443) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: GUEST,Jess I have an entire list of running cadences and marching cadences that I got from my dad who is retired Air Force. My brother is NYPD and they use cadences too at the acadamy. I gave most of my cadence lyrics to my high school rotc instructor. She's ok with us singing them during drill. Soon she will post my collection of running cadence lyrics on my school rotc site (after we figure out whether or not we'll violate copyright stuff). I graduate in june of 2010 and I plan on joining the Air Force. I found some ok cadences that are made by cadence masters. They sound like running cadences mixed with cool music so I really like marching to them in the gym. I dont think she can post them on the school's site but if you search cadence masters you should find them. Don't download the Navy album because it doesn't have music it's just a bunch of people running and singing. I downloaded the navy songs first and realized that we couldn't use them for our rotc drills but the armed forces album is good for our drill. I will reply back here soon when we post those lyrics on my school's rotc page. Try this link. Good running cadences for high school rotc drill Till next time, Jess AFROTC student |

It's called Rambo and to my memory it starts something like this: I'm gonna tell a story, A story that seemed so real. About a veteran warrior, Who's name I shall reveal. Ramboooooooo! (I also remember a version made called 'Strongbow', if anybody has that I'd be grateful also!) |

I also see that I didn't actually post the lyrics to "Our Sergeant Major" as I thought I did. Here goes: (End Quote) Thanks for those lyrics. I remember when I was little, and in cubs, a veteran came in to talk to us about the war and he sang some songs. That was one of those songs. I'm not sure if those were the same lyrics, but I've always wanted a copy of the words. Thank you so much. |

06 Nov 15 - 01:28 PM (#3748948) Subject: RE: Cadence or Marching Songs From: keberoxu There is a news story relevant to this thread. If I can (if the computer lets me) I will data-entry the body of the story itself. I found this article at: www.wltx.com (a broadcast, maybe TV station?); I was searching for the story's subject, Command Sergeant Major Lamont Christian. Dated September 12, 2014 Ft Jackson Drill Sergeant Writes Song That Inspires A search for a catchy work-out song ended up with the discovery of a Midlands' drill sergeant's CADENCE on a popular Gatorade commercial. "To push yourself, not to give up and that's the theme that we give to soldiers, " Command Sgt. Maj. Lamont Christian said. In the darkness and even at the crack of dawn, you can hear the rhythmic stories of army life. "Cadences, especially for the Army, is one of those opportunities for an individual to basically lose themselves during the run, " Command Sgt. Mag. Christian said. Command Sgt Maj Christian heads the drill sergeant school at Ft. Jackson, and even though you may never have seen him, you've probably heard him. As his son was looking for work-out music, he came across his father's voice. "We did some more Google searches and came across a commercial and we played the commercial and it was the cadence used as a sample for that Gatorade commercial," Command Sgt Maj Christian said. The commercial was used for the BCS championship and even for the Final Four. Command Sgt Maj Christian said his son and sister identified his voice with just three words. "There's a portion in the cadence where I said, 'There you go.' And my grandfather used to say that all the time to motivate us when I was younger and he'd say, 'There you go, young man,' " Command Sgt Maj Christian said. He said he's gotten lots of phone calls from former students asking if that is his voice in the commercial. Many people are pointing out his fame, but he attributes it to the soldiers who actually sing along. "That cadence would not be a cadence without soldiers. If I sang it by myself, it would just be me singing. And I'm no Michael Jackson or Eric Bolton or anyone else," Command Sgt Maj Christian said. "With that it's the soldiers actually that I give my praise to because they sound off." |
