Several I can only barely remember...

"Ratatattat, what the heck was that?

M60 gunner stepping up to bat!

VC in the village, VC in the wire,

VC can't stand that grazing fire"

Or "Pinky"

o/ I've got a girl with a rubber head,

    fill 'er up every night 'for I go to bed,

   reach around back and turn her batteries on,

   and I'm a humpin' and a bumpin' ALL night long...

  P.... I.... N... K... Y...

  Pinky is a kinky and so am I /o

I'm still in touch with the woman who liked to sing that one, I'll have to see if she remembers it :-)

One I do remember is "Three German Officers Crossed the Rhine"

Three German officers crossed the Rhine, taboo, taboo

Three German officers crossed the Rhine, taboo, taboo

Three Germany officers crossed the Rhine,

To see what the Hell they could find,

and they all said "Seig Heil!", tickle my ass, taboo

They came upon a wayside inn, taboo, taboo

They came upon a wayside inn, taboo, taboo

They came upon a wayside inn,

and kicked the fucking door right in,

and they all said "Seig Heil!" tickle my ass, taboo

There was a pretty young maid in there, taboo, taboo

There was a pretty young maid in there, taboo, taboo

There was a pretty young maid in there,

with blue eyes and blonde hair

and they all said "Seig Heil!" tickle my ass, taboo

They tied her to a feather bed, taboo, taboo

They tied her to a feather bed, taboo, taboo

They tied her to a feather bed,

and raped her til she was dead

and they all said "Seig Heil!" tickle my ass, taboo

Her father had an old shotgun, taboo, taboo

Her father had an old shotgun, taboo, taboo

Her father had an old shotgun,

and blew them all to Kingdom Come

and they all said "Seig Heil!" tickle my ass, taboo

Three German officers went to Hell, taboo, taboo

Three German officers went to Hell, taboo, taboo

Three German officers went to Hell,

and raped the Devil's wife as well

and they all said "Seig Heil!" tickle my ass, taboo...

Men and women serving in the military have spent hours stomping around the base in well-constructed running formations yelling a repetitive song at the top of their lungs.

Military cadences, or close-order drill, date back hundreds of years as a signal to keep troops covered and aligned as they march forward in the battlefield. Now it’s primarily used to keep service members in step — landing their feet at the same time — causing a prideful beat.

Regardless, military cadences stain our memories like a top 40 hit on the radio. Once you hear it, let the rhythm teleport you to the good old days.

1. “Fired Up”

2. “You Can’t Break My Body Down”

3. “Mama, Mama Can’t You See?”

4. “I Used To Sit at Home All Day”

5. “I Heard That in the Navy”

6. “My Grandma!”

Why does the Army sing cadence?

Singing a cadence while running or marching helps soldiers keep their heads up, take deeper breaths and exhale more forcefully. This increases oxygen to the lungs and gives the body more energy. This in turn makes the unit healthier and better prepared.
