Zur Einstimmung mal eine schöne Cadence, die die Marines beim gemeinsamen Laufen im Zug als Call and Response Gesang im Wechsel zwischen Drill-Instructor und Mannschaft singen, um die Kadenz - also den vorgeschriebenen Lauftakt "doubletime" = 180 Schritte pro Minute - aufrecht zu erhalten:
Marines for me
(after every line unit shouts "marine corps")
a 1, 2, 3, 4
a 1, 2, 3, 4
a army, navy was not for me
air force was just a too easy
what i need was a little bit more
i need a life that is hardcore
parris island where it all began
a little rock with lots a sand
i can't forget about hollywood
san diego and it's all good
pt drill all day long
keep me running from dusk to dawn
a 1, 2, 3, 4
tell me now what you waiting for
a 1, 2, 3, 4
momma now i'm gonna sing you some more
first phase it broke me down
second phase i started comin round
third phase i was lean and mean
graduation standing tall in my green
to anybody who asked me why
here's the deal i gave my reply
i'll be a marine til the day i die
motivated and semper fi
a 1, 2, 3, 4
tell me now what you waiting for
a 1, 2, 3, 4
listen up i'm gonna sing you some more
Tun Tavern to ah Belleau Wood
makin history so it's understood
iwo jima to the guadal canal
kickin butt just everywhere
frozen chosen to the ho chi minh
i think its time that we do it again
beirut lebanon
i think its time that we get it done
a 1, 2, 3, 4
tell me now what you waiting for
Wer das ganze mal hören will oder vielleicht zum Joggen in den Mp3-Player laden, findet das auf dem Album
"
Run to Cadence With the U.S. Marines, Vol. III", das es zb. bei
Amazon gibt.
Eine große Sammlung solcher Cadences (sprich Käidenzes) findet ihr auf
