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!

Got a couple:

"Red Dog"

Red Dog Lead, this is Red Dog 1,
Request permission to make a bomb run.
Our target lies over the ridge,
Some folks call it an orphanage.

Fly on down, drop some candy on the ground,
Watch the kiddies gather 'round.
Come on back with a hard right turn,
Drop some napalm and watch the kids burn.

NAAAAA-PALM
STICKS TO KII-IDS!!

NAPALM STICKS TO LITTLE KIDS!"

Or, "Bloody Bodies"

Stab 'im with your bayonet
If he moves, you ain't done yet.
All I ever wanna see
Are BLOODY BODIES ALL AROUND ME!

Load another magazine
In my trusty M16
'Cause all I ever wanna see
Are BLOODY BODIES ALL AROUND ME!!

Stack them high and stack them wide
On their backs and side-by-side
All I ever want to see,
Are BLOODY BODIES ALL AROUND ME!

Throw another hand grenade,
Save a bit of foreign aid
'Cause all I ever wanna see
Are BLOODY BODIES ALL AROUND ME!!

Send another mortar round,
Watch it as it hits the ground
'Cause all I ever wanna see
Are BLOODY BODIES ALL AROUND ME!!

Stack them high and stack them wide
On their backs and side-by-side
All I ever want to see,
Are BLOODY BODIES ALL AROUND ME!

Launch that, launch that Trident missile,
Listen to her engines whistle.
'Cause all I ever wanna see
Are BLOODY BODIES ALL AROUND ME!!

Stack them high and stack them wide
On their backs and side-by-side
All I ever want to see,
Are BLOODY BODIES ALL AROUND ME!

Let 'em blow let 'em blow.
Let the cold winds blow.
From the east and from the west.
U.S Air Force is the best.
Dressin' right and cover down
Forty inches all around
6 to the from 3 to the here
That's the way we do it here
Marching there and looking good
Ought to march in Hollywood

C-130 rollin' down the strip!
Marine Corps Daddy gonna take a little trip!
Stand up, Buckle up, Shuffle to the door!
Jump Right Out and Shout "MARINE CORPS"!
If My Chute Don't Open Wide,
I've Got a Reserve By My Side.
And, If That Chute Don't Blossom Round,
I'll Be the First One On the Ground!
Stickin' and a Stabbin'!


or

Momma, Momma Can't You See?
What the Marine Corps Done to Me.
Sat Me Down in a Barber's Chair,
Spun Me Round, I Had No Hair....
Momma, Momma Can't You See?
Sent Me Off to a Foreign Land,
To Go and Kill the Other Man.

Back in 1987, I and 2 other NCOs from the Ranger Regiment were recorded by Documentary Recordings to create a marching and running cadence tape for the Recruiting Command. /We had 44 holdover RIP students running in a circle as we sang cadence. some of their favorites were:

Lear Jet SWAT Team
Dark Side Calling
Man of Death
War Pigs (Ozzy Osbourne inspired)

You had to be there to know what I'm talking about, but I would call cadence on 5 mile runs and never repeat a cadence...
