Hands up who else thinks it sounds like the William Tell Overture upside down?

Diddle-um Diddle-um Diddle-um-tum-tum.....

I even can translate the first two lines of the German into singable English lyrics fitting the tune:

If the dog with the steak jumps the cornerstone
and if George in the pub drinks his beer alone

It helps against too 'military' feelings. Some other Germans (or whoever likes that music) may get tears in their eyes when listening to the tune and you sit there and hum to yourself

If the dog with the steak...

An Pluiméir Ceolmhar, take a look at Masato's midi link. There are lots of midis for several pianos, various numbers of performers. I love the Beethoven Turkish March.

It was the beginning of the completely silly German lyrics we sang to the Radetzky Marsch tune when we were young.

In English: When the dog with the sausage jumps over the cornerstone.

It makes no sense? Neither it does in German.

Wie, bitte, Wolfgang?

Is that like "Rashers and eggs and lashings of sausages", which was Eamon de Buitléir's mnemonic for jig rhythm on the bodhrán, or has it a deeper meaning?

Without wishing to scratch any historic wounds, I've always found the martial music of the German people(s) a lot more ...well, martial... than the insubstantial rubbish that French military bands play. The British equivalent is very melodious and polished, and inspired quite a strong non-military brass band tradition. But for out-and-out bloodcurdlingness, it's hard to beat the sound of the pipes tuning up in the morning.

Might be the version for brass band, but who wants strings for a march ...

Found all over the web, a bit for instance here but there are more hits with the spellings Radetzky or Radetsky.
