Favorite Cadence

[TheOperative]

For those of you who have been "in" tell or post your favorite cadence. I always liked the mcdonalds one...but that one got outlawed shortly after my arrival in late 95 . Although, from my understanding, we all got real watered down version of most everything.

Here's a few mpp3's cadences ,some are good for running:
Drizzling rain
When I go to heaven
Pick up your weapon

Hail oh Hail oh infantry


And yes you can download them. If you have any that you would like to share, please email me and I'll post it.

***on edit*** apparently this thread has become very popular and many have linked to it outside this forum, I will post here what I have as far as military cadence mp3's. I don't think the candences are copywritten, which is why I am posting this zip file. If they are, I was never asked to sign a contract to sing them while I was in, therefore I guess I may be owed some royalties . Anyhow, enjoy. As I get more, I will post them, there are 13 cadences in the zip file now. Please consider joing our forum

About the only cadences I had were in boot camp, and I don't remember much of it. I do remember seeing another company singing the Ballad of Gilligan's Island.

I hate(d) them all.

Every single gosh-darned-doodely one of them.

I just remember a lot of profanity.

I do remember a couple of lines from another one that I heard (our company didn't use it); it refers to the generic "Ricky Recruit":

Ricky, Ricky, don't be blue;
Our recruiter screwed us, too.

I also remember a bit from one at my niece's graduation from Army Basic Training. That bit was:

Shoot the sonofa-
Shoot the sonofa-

We never got to say anything like that when I was in boot camp.
Dammit.

Any chance of still getting the zip file? The above link is dead.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll put it up on my server.

Signal Corp, Ft. Gordon, GA

Starts like this,

"I was sitting in my foxhole,
sharpening my knife,
along came the enemy,
'had to take his life."

If anyone can help me with the rest, it would be grandly apperciated.

My cadence calling started way back in 1964 and you are very correct. You get very watered down versions now.

Here are a couple from recent times . . .

Mama told Sally not to go downtown

Two Old Ladies Laying in Bed
