Fitting. Especially since the enlistment contract we signed was a contract of indentured servitude for 8 years. An indentured servant is ONE step above a SLAVE.
Cept cadence has been kept longer than that. 😂. Like thousands of years. Just remake the 90s Charlie sheen movie to get views and likes 😂😂. Pandering to the black man 😂
I know you have to do the whole virtue signaling thing, but you don't really believe that cadence songs and work songs were created by African slaves do you? You are only off by a couple THOUSAND years.
First and foremost thank you for your service. I appreciate the men and women in uniform. Secondly, even as an old woman, I still enjoy hearing these songs, for lack of a better word. I have never been in the military, my family are more police force people but I still appreciate military men. There's nothing like the smell of testosterone coming off a marine. It's like the best. Even at age 63, I still love a good Marine. ❤😊
I'm 67 and totally agree with you. You can smell that testosterone from all the branches of the military. I live close to an Air Force base, and I love my interactions with them. Thank you all for your service.
@marcdangerfield8956 My point exactly. I think military men and women who serve Faithfully as brothers and sisters have a special bond that someone who has never been to war would understand. It is so sad how veterans are treated in this country. They should be rewarded and honored. People should be a whole lot kinder to them while they're at war,and when they come back. A significant other can never go any lower than to cheat on someone who is deployed, especially if you are married and have children. 😢
I am a Army vet,1976-2009,remember the cadance we all had to repeat,not this exact call but same tune,and otherscstill remember most of them and still say them from time to time
When our Company Commander got into his cadence, all of us really enjoyed it. He was a big black man from Southern Mississippi, and you could barely understand him when he gave us orders but when he went into his cadence, it was pure music to our ears. Shortly before we were to finish our boot camp of 11 or so weeks, he walked up behind us and caught us passing around a joint someone miraculously came up with. Such an infraction could get us all sent back to week 1 and we'd have to do it all over again (We actually thought so anyway). He said, in his rough southern drawl..."Wat yoo gott dere? Gimme dat"! He looked at our terrified faces, paused and ...took a hit! Then we were off to the chow hall and the cadence was extra special and extra loud that day.
I was in the Air Force WAF. We loved marching to this song. It was the first one we were taught. There were many verses made up by the troops. The flight leader sang like pro ! Good job young man !
Military cadences were kept by drums for centuries prior to oral call and response cadence counts. Also the Navy used shanties from the late 1700s as work cadences
I remember it well...Sept 1975 Lackland AFB San Antonio Texas. we were predawn marching towards the obstacle course, and our TI (Air force DI) suddenly changes our course of order. Where did we go? Right up to, and through the middle of the MthrFking Iranian Air Force compound! Of course he told us what we were going to do right before we entered their compound. We couldn't wait! Before I continue Iran was an ally of the US at the time (This is pre Islam revolution 1979) and our Senior TI (Will not give his name, great man btw!) just couldn't stand them. Sooooo we march stomped and sang real Fking loud (truly was our best performance, both TI's even said so at the end of boot) and we woke up every Mfer in the place. This about 4am btw, and OMG they were pissed! Of course we sang even louder!!! Both TI's couldn't stop grinning. God I do miss those times. Thank you for your time everyone, God bless America!
i 'm from eastern KY, in the Appalachian mountains. black folks had a HUGE influence on Appalachian culture. they gifted us the banjo, and we really, really love our banjo music here. jazz and blues were also a big influence on bluegrass music too. they're a big part of why we are the way we are now, lol. Appalachian culture is somethin else. i absolutely love it. this is cool too! these are catchy as hell
The worst of times were the best of times. Did you ever feel SO Alive?! Do remember the strength you felt knowing the man on your left and on your right were watching Your back... and You were guarding theirs? And you trusted them without a thought. That was a time that was 'Real'...
This brings back so many memories. Never marched to this particular "jody," but to many very much like it. Ah, those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end...
Millitary Cadance, R&B, Gospel, Country and all music originates from the same place all just at different times and thats the fields thank you Private Duckworth for another amazing example of taking adversity and turning it into something prideful.
I Love to hear you singing the Cadance marching songs. My Father was in No 1 Commando in ww/2. he parachuted also ,he was shot in legs on one mission. before he landed. Bless you all....
@@19USMC84 Why y’all always put us short folks in the front? lol ~ 🫡 Your service and commitment to our nation is to be honored and respected. Thank you.
I know that after I got out that I never wanted to hike/march again any distance with a backpack. After 12 miles with full ruck, I seemed very tired and my feet hurt for it to not be working. That being said, cadence was one of my favorite memories of basic.
it's so hard to explain this to anyone who has never been enlisted. I will never be able to forget our own cadence songs...and they are also somehow comforting. There are many things worse than drill...this was the fun part.
"Cadences came from slavery..." Me: "Ooh, Holy F-ing Hell, what a load of Crap!" "A quick look on the great G-machine, they started back during WW2, to keep troops in step" Not everything is about someone's oppression!
We've been getting smoked damn bad lately. Repeating to myself "The heads are up, the chests are out" helps me keep my form for a little longer, and when seconds feel like minutes, that really does mean a lot
Not a veteran or anything but I've had some family members serve in various branches of the army and navy. Also kind of a hefty fella and just started going to the gym. This stuff goes crazy in the gym. Keep up the great work. God bless our angels on the front line protecting our way of life and freedoms.
I don't know if you need to have gone through boot camp to appreciate this, but I'm 78 and it makes me jump up , fall in line, and sound off ! I'm 78 now, and basically anti-war, but the military and competition team sports are what too many young people today are missing, to give them pride in self.
I come frome a generational military family, every generation had someone in my ancestors in every conflict since the French and Indian War. I was with a couple of friends driving on post in 1969 when a company of Officer Candidates came by counting cadence to that classic marching tune "California Dreaming"! I was laughing so hard, especially having to explain it to non- military background friends.
...and suddenly I am transported back to Basic in 1972 at Fort Polk, LA. It was August when I arrived, and I thought the heat and humidity was gonna kill me!
My brother was born just before my dad got drafted to go into the army at the beginning of World War II. He didn't return until my brother was four years old. It was hard on him, it was hard on the family but he loved his/our United States. He was proud to serve.🇺🇸 1,2,3,4...... (Dad was finally blessed with four children. 1,2,3,4 😊)
4 years in the USN. Biggest surprise to me was the joy of marching in boot camp. Hard to explain but I think I am in good company here!! I was so pumped to march around San Diego in Boot Camp. When they called a Route Step Hut - we could MOVE!!
I grew up in an Air Force family and my Dad used to sing jodies to us, he even sang Army jodies that he learned from his father. I joined the Navy and gained even more jodies and taught them to my kids and Grandkids. My USMC Granddaughter is going to teach me some Marine jodies when she comes to visit soon so I'm going to be well rounded in jodies!!!!! I love jodies and my English husband thinks I'm batty as I sing them when doing housework, lol. Thank you Mr. Fleming for teaching me even more. I am quite fond of the Yogi Bear jodie! I just wish at the age of 66, sing as well as I did in my 20's!
It is great to hear this. My Dad was a WWII Army vet, my husband is a 30 year Army vet , & my son is a veteran as well. My dad who was “ blessed “ with 3 daughters, counted cadence when we were supposed to by doing chores so we wouldn’t slow down& get distracted. Thinking about is now brings back memories of a safer, kinder time.
Eyes front and cover down, ain't no discharge on the ground, sound off. 1, 2, sound off, 3, 4, bring it on down 1, 2, 3, 4. Then there was a verse saying, "Jody's got your girl and gone." However, not so sure how you figure these were slave songs, frankly the cadience, which was designed to help soldiers keep time while marching dates back to way before the foundation of the United States.
the same cadence from the last scene of BATTLEGROUND 1948 i first saw tis in 74 and it has stuck with me ever since van johnson ricardo montablan james arness. james whitmore
Did you know that cadence songs have been around for many, many thousands of years. Any job that required repeatable movements (heaving ropes, turning capstan, even spinning, weaving, mopping and scrubbing all developed cadence songs to keep everyone on time.
You can definitely hear the slave/chain gang songs in all military cadences. I love to hear these military cadences. Thanks for recognizing who gifted them to this great country and our fine men and women of the US military. This guy has a beautuful voice to boot.
As a female, you would not believe some of the cadence songs that we marched to very interesting ones. And oh, what did we do when we passed the poor little guys who just got boot camp. Our TI had a wonderful sense of humor.

Probably goes back to the times of slaves rowing the huge Roman or Trojan ships in the Mediterranean.
Actually seafarers have used songs to get men to work together when they were handling lines or heaving around on an anchor windlass.

Also builds lung capacity, encourages good breathing, helps build stamina
I first heard this in the movie Battleground with James Whitmore and Van Johnson. My dad took me to see this in the theater around 1961
Like watching his videos
It awesome to hear different cadence counts. I could march to this all day. Which is what it was for!
That's fire right there. Nice work.
