Here's Old King Cole in the DT. (I hope Dave checks his request in this thread, because I'm not e-mailing him.)


As for Marines singing 'Airborne Ranger', I went to a tech school with people from various services. They put a Marine Vietnam vet in charge of calling cadence for our little PT runs in the early morning.

...oops.

His version of Airborne Ranger was close to the one Rap posted in the Airborne Ranger thread. We ran past officer's housing. Eventually, someone complained and we wound up singing 'bleep' a lot. I seem to remember verses about napalm and bayonets and babies along with the f*cking verses. The song was highly offensive, but they liked us to sing loud, and knowing we were pissing off officers sure helped.
