Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Here us one to get your Irish up. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=howdy+doody+theme+song&FORM=VIRE5#view=detail&mid=35AC268B9827A462269335AC268B9827A4622693
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Panzerlied I think is the name of the song from the Battle of the Bulge movie. It gets my blood moving for sure even though I don't understand German. Bugs here you go. Panzerlied with English translation. (Bit annoying opening) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awehbFe3P3U
Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 I just can't tap my toe to any German marches. Just can't.
Iditarod Kid Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 If you ever have the chance to be in Paris on July 14 (their version of our July 4th) for the giant parade, the units march past as a band plays, UNTIL the last unit comes down the Elysee. The Legion is the only unit which has their own 'Musique" which marches with them, playing their march, "Le Boudin". Even after hearing the national anthem a couple of times at the beginning of the ceremony, your hair will stand up. Just my two cents.... See you down the trail......
Rancocas Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 This has been always one of my favorite marches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxrh1CrMmTY
Subdeacon Joe Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 I just can't tap my toe to any German marches. Just can't. Well, Bob, that's 'cause they're MARCHING songs, not toe tappin' songs!

The Legion also has a different marching pace than other units, 88 per minute, if I recall correctly. That's why it's always at the end.
Bugs Bonney SASS # 10171 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Well, Bob, that's 'cause they're MARCHING songs, not toe tappin' songs! I do understand. It's hard to separate the music from the reality of the war on humanity they waged. They had great , "stir the blood" music that served a horrific cause.

They had great , "stir the blood" music that served a horrific cause. I know what you mean. I admire the excellent use of emotion in the propaganda, but loathe the ends to which it was used. And I rather doubt that any Brits would be fond of a song like "Bomben auf Engeland."

Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 If you've never heard this version, it's probable the finest "Longest Day" version made. MT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVU75AZ5gJU
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIVSpY8xY9I The British Grenadier There are many good marches and before my Walkman (yes, I'm that old!) finally died, I had various cassette tapes of different marches. I refuse to run or jog -- a good friend of mine beat his knees to death running -- but L'Amour observed a man can walk down a horse, and in my salad days I could walk all day long at a good steady pace.
DocWard Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Well, I would have to go with The Army Song, or, since I was in the Field Artillery, the original, the Caisson Song. I can say that I never want to march again while the soundtrack from Patton is played. Did it for a pass in review for an outgoing brigade commander, because, of course, it was his favorite movie. We couldn't keep in step to save our lives.
