Unique Running Cadences?

2014-04-14T06:06:59-04:00

I'm one of the few people in my unit who actually enjoys
calling cadences, but just as most people probably do, I get tired of the same
old ones being called over and over again. For example, being on Fort Bragg, it
goes without saying that cadences like "C-130 Rolling Down The Strip"
gets called about ever other time... so I did some looking and I found
"C-17 Flying Over Division". It was a different spin on the same
cadence, and for the most part, people seemed to enjoy the change.  Does anybody know any other unique or rare cadences? 
 
Now, allow me to clarify: I know full well that the days of jody calls and
expletive-filled cadences are gone whether we like it or not. I'm not looking
for those... just different, unique cadences or versions of cadences that I can
learn and start incorporating into my arsenal. 
 
One cadence in particular that I'm looking for is a variant of the "Went
to the Mess Sarn't on my knees/Mess Sarn't, Mess Sarn't, feed me please"
cadence that has to do with jumping across the counter and kicking him in the
chest or some-such. If anyone knows that one, I'd love to get it from you.

This is wierd I know... but I had a buck E-5 ask me instead of the PSG once what some good cadence's were. So I referred him to this website, http://vetfriends.com/cadences/ , since I knew his question was a test. My reply was a test as well, to see whether he would filter out the cadences that were no longer allowed. Lots of used cadences there.

Nemeth, you know they have Cadence CDs available right? Google Army Cadence CD, all kinds of stuff comes up, Amazon has them too. I'll bet clothing sales has them in the store. They did "back in the day" when I was a SPC/SGT and in the same boat as you. Listening to a cadence being called is easier than reading one, you also don't hear how its sung specifically the inflection and tone by reading it, which can really mess up a cadence.

All the cadences we sang in the USMC were either funny, aggressive or totally inappropriate...

One of my personal favorites is "My Girl's a Vegetable".

I've posted this on RallyPoint before.

I don't know the whole thing, and the audio in the video isn't great.... But if anyone knows this cadence, I'd love to know the whole thing.

SSG Private RallyPoint Member I know this is an old discussion but, I was looking for the same and got here. I love the Rock Steady Cadence and here you can find all the variations with vidoes for the sound so you can "sing along".
