WANTED:Jodies!

Topic? 

[SonicN2O]

Here's one everybody knows, but I might as well put it on here.

When I do PT
There's a Flight Sergeant there
When I do PT
There's a Flight Sergeant there

Flight Sergeant
Flight Sergeant

Why don't you leave me alone?
Why don't you ever go home?

When I go into town
There's a Flight Sergeant there
When I go into town
There's a Flight Sergeant there

Flight Sergeant
Flight Sergeant

Why don't you leave me alone?
Why don't you ever go home?

When I watch TV
There's a Flight Sergeant there
When I watch TV
There's a Flight Sergeant there

Flight Sergeant
Flight Sergeant

Why don't you leave me alone?
Why don't you ever go home?

...You get the idea.

Here's another one:

You see the bearded ninja
alone upon the hill
his name is Chuck Norris
his game is to kill

Chuck Noooooris
Roundhouse kiiick!

I was watchn' infomercials
on my big TV
Chuck Norris was workin' out
on Insanity

Chuck Noooooris
Roundhouse kiiick!

You heard of evolution?
We know that it's a lie
It's only a list of animals
he allows to survive

Chuck Noooooris
Roundhouse kiiick!

Now, Chuck is not a surgeon
but still, he knows some tricks
the fastest way to your heart
is with Chuck Norris fists

Chuck Noooooris
Roundhouse kiiick!

If you get out of line
he will put you in your pla-ace
the power of a roundhouse kick
can be seen from outer space

Chuck Noooooris
Roundhouse kiiick!

He doesn't have a chi-in
be he should still be fea-red
legend tells of a third fist
beneath his magnificent be-eard

Chuck Noooooris
Roundhouse kiiick!

Don't break the Law in Texas
you'll put yourself in danger
Chuck Norris' Alter Ego
is Walker Texas Ranger

Chuck Noooooris
Roundhouse kiiick!

If you can see Chuck Norris
Chuck Norris can see yoou
and If you can't see Chuck Norris
he's prob'ly right behind you!

Chuck Noooooris
Roundhouse kiiick!

Doubletime, HARCH!
#lol

And while I'm at it:
C130 rollin down the strip
Airbourne daddy
Gonna take a little trip

Mission: Top Secret, Destination: Unknown
we don't know if he's coming home

Stand up, buckle up,
Shuffle to the door
Jump right out and count to four

And if my chute don't open wide
I have another one by my side

And if that chute don't open round
I'll be the first one on the ground.

If I die on the combat zone
Box me up and ship me home.

You actually march to these? It seems like they have very poor meter.

Jodies are like a poem - they rhyme (sometimes) and they have meter. The meter is the beat and timing. Here's part of one, beat in bold:
I don't know but I've been told,

All the bold words are on the left foot.

I don't see any kind of meter in what you posted, for either left or right foot emphasis.

[SonicN2O]

The first one is syncopated:

When  I   do      P          T...                (When I   do      P          T...)
^L           ^R          ^L          ^R          ^L          ^R          ^L          ^R

Flight Sergeant (Flight Sergeant)...

The second and third ones are very metered:
you See the bearded ninja...

C-130 rollin' down the strip...

These jodies also make use of syncopation, which might be where your confusion arises from.

[SarDragon]

Need to stick to the KISS principle.

[SonicN2O]

Actually, calling a jodie with off-beat and syncopated elements can and will be just as effective with keeping the flight in step as a jodie that's all quarter notes. Try marching while chanting something like this to yourself and you'll find that it works. Plus, adding some rhythm variety to a jodie makes it much more interesting.
I'm not trying to start an argument, just pointing out what I've experienced.

"C-130 rollin' down the strip" is a running cadence. One thing I do notice is that a lot of cadets do try to use what one AD are running cadences as marching cadences. If you have ever run to one, you know how weird they sound when someone tries to call them for a marching formation.

[SonicN2O]

Yeah. "Flight Sergeant" is strictly a marching jodie.

BITD we used C-130 as a marching cadence. As well as Captain Jack, Around Her Neck She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, The Prettiest Girl, and the one that goes "Pebbles and Bam-Bam on a Friday night, tried to get to heaven on a paper kite". Some were more interchangeable with running than others.

This isn't a jodie (it's a song) but I think it's really great! I guess you could say it describes me.
-----------------------------------
GIRL CADET
(a song)
Oh, when a girl cadet walks down the street
She looks a hundred par from head to feet
She has a smile, a while, a winning way
And just to look at her, you'll recognize her & you'll say
Now there's a girl I'd like to know
She has a cadence, spirit, pep and go
And just to look at her is quite a treat, it's hard to beat
A girl from the Civil Air Patrol

[miss.aviator.girl]

THE GUY I MARRY

The guy I marry, he will be
A Spaatz Cadet in the CAP
We will raise a family
A Squadron that looks just like me
Our kids will march before they walk
And give commands before they talk
Oh how happy we will be
When they command the CTG

here is a very good version of the popular "C-130" Jodie


C-130 rollin' down the strip,
Hit a pothole and started to flip!
Alpha Flight(or whatever flight you don't like )
was trapped in side,
now theyre all kentucky fried!

Our encampments on a base used solely by C-130s so I think this jodie is out of the question.

[SarDragon]

Would you like to try that again in something other than genuine frontier gibberish?

Sorry, autocorrect is the bane of my existence. Edited.

Birdie, birdie in the sky,
dropped some white wash in my eye.
i don't complain and i don't cry,
i'm just glad that cows can't fly.
left, left, left, your right, your left


Everywhere we go
People wanna know
Who we are
So we tell them
We're not the Navy
The deck swabbing Navy
We're not the Army
The ground poundin' Army
We're not the Marines
They dont even look mean
We are the air force
The high-flying airforce
Top notch air force


I also really like this one. The tone, syncopation, harmony, and sound is awesome. This is the whole lyric http://www.armystudyguide.com/content/cadence/marching_cadence/some-say-freedom-is-free.shtml http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8-XkPJXhCw#

This was one of my favorite from Army JROTC BITD. Bold lines are caller.   I also love using count cadence/delay cadences

We are ____________                                                        (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, CAP, mascot, etc)
And we like to party                                                             (could be replaced with PT, etc)
(P-A-R-T-Y)
Party Hardy
(H-A-R-D-Y)
Party hardy all night long

Your Left, Right, Get on down

Your left, right, get on down
Now DROP
(Recover)
And beat your face. ______ (or CAP) is gonna rock this place.
AOO! (Like the Spartans on 300) Ah Ah AOO!

Are You from NYWg? The NYWg encampment (Stratton ANG base)  site has only C-130's and LC-130's.
