Ah yes, "Jody calls," we've all heard them, marched to them, run to them, or called them out in a motivated tone; so, what are some of your all time favorites? As this is an inter-service thread, we want to hear from all of you--Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Reserve of each of the above, and the National Guard--so what are your favorite service-specific cadences, and do you have an old standby or trusty go-to cadence? Perhaps it was one that was once popular but somehow fell out of use, or maybe an just an old standard or unique favorite. Please feel free to share any photos, videos, sound files, stories, associated memories, and/or anything else needed to help to tell your story. I'm sure that an old classic or two comes to mind, so "one, two, three, four-or... this is what we're here for-or..." So, pull up a keyboard and let's get this thing started, thank you for all that you do, and... see you all in the discussion threads!

Eastern Airlines rollin’ down the strip,
Trying to fox a hostess on a Labor Day trip
Gonna jump down strip down knock her to the deck,
And wrap her legs around my neck.
And if I happen to gasp for air,
Pull my face from her pubic hair.

If I were the President and had my way,
There wouldn’t be a leg in the Army today.
Cause there’s two things that I can’t stand,
That’s a bow legged woman
And a straight leg man.

I loved the Superman cadence, but I highly doubt you can sing it nowadays.

I wanna be an ADAC reject,
Send class 6 my mid-month pay-check.
Start every day with a fifth or more,
Stop everyday at the class 6 store.
One fifth, no sweat
Two Fifths , better yet ,
Three Fifths , feeling good,
Fouth Fifths, like we should.

I don't remember the rest, but it was all good.

Yea I remember when I was in basic training in Ft Dix, NJ in 1967we used to make up our own words for the songs, problem was we happened to jog by the post Commander's wife in her staff car and she was offended and she called her husband and the company was verbally represented and we couldn't that anymore. We sure had fun

I only recall the 1968 DI yodel style drill cadence. On the run, DI may call out "PT" to which the platoon responds "Feels good"
