I always whistled this song, just because my father does it and his father before him, and no one knew where it was from (I live in Argentina). Finally I got it, what a coincidence!
Christopher Halim Because they claim because the island is closer to their homeland that it is part of their territory despite Hardcore Britons living on the island for 200+ years, longer than they have been a country.
The music was the theme song of the movie "The Bridge on the River Kwai" an event of WW II. My father was in the region of Burma and Eastern portion of India. One of two task was to build a road from Chittagong to Teknaf near Burma.
The story behind that is entirely fascinating. After a week of hearing march music, Malcolm Arnold hadn't found anything. At the set of the movie an old man hummed a tune. And Arnold knew: That is it. But the man didn't know the name of the tune, he only knew it was from Scotland. So Arnold asked around in the Scottish military, and eventually got an old Colonel who remembered that tune. It was composed by a man prior to the war - before 1939? No, before 1914! - who was thrown out of a golf club with three whistling sounds. A week later that man came back to present the tune he had written. That man, obviously, was Ricketts. Would he have behaved, would he not have been thrown out of the golf club with three random whistling sounds that he turned into this march, we'd have one less great story about music. And one movie that would be far worse off for it.
@@Lovuschka That sounds like complete fiction to me! This was a well-known tune and Ricketts/Alford its well-known composer long before 'Bridge on the River Kwai'.
@@postscript67 Well, my source is the book by Pierre Bellemare. Usually he is quite accurate with his research. If you can read German or French, I can give you the title of the book. Otherwise I apologize.
I wondered why Uncle Walt included "Colonel Bogey" in the Camp Inch part of "The Parent Trap". Then I read about the context of the song in "River Kwai". Now it made sense. The soldiers whistled the song on their way to be tortured. In the same way, the girls whistled the song while Sharon and Susan - two lookalikes who became bitter enemies - trudged on their way to a cabin they'd live in together, and *that* was going to be torture!
The "Colonel Bogey March" is a popular march that was written in 1914 by Lieutenant F. J. Ricketts (1881-1945), a British army bandmaster who later became director of music for the Royal Marines at Plymouth.

[A second verse] Rommel: has four or five I guess; No one's quite sure 'bout Rudolf Hess; Schmeling's... always yelling; But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all!
Christopher Halim It's a powdered cleanser used mainly for cleaning tubs, sinks, toilets and other porcelain fixtures and tile surfaces. I guess they don't sell it where you're from. You'll find it in just about every grocery store here in the US. "Comet, it makes you vomit", sung to the tune of "Colonel Bogey March," is an American children's song dating from the 1960s.
Yes, though let me add that Comet had adapted the song for one of their TV ads. So (but before my time) did Rheingold Extra Dry beer, though I don't know if that one inspired any parodies. It would certainly have been more promising material, since nobody really expects a sink cleanser to taste good or be good for you.
My older brothers used to sing the Comet song when we were kids, but I had no clue that the tune actually existed until I had to learn it for high school band! I always thought that it was something they made up. To this day, I can still remember my bass clarinet part in my head whenever I hear the song played!
This I remember my dad reciting when I was a kid Hitler, well he has one big ball, Rommel, he has two but small, Himmler has something sim'lar but poor ol' Goebbels has no balls at all.
thought of that song, too, when i first heard this one playing :) but wasn't it with Goering instead of Rommel? you know, since Goering was a high-ranking nazi and condemned war criminal, while Rommel kind of earned the respect of allies/westerners.
Thanks to my Dad for introducing me to this wonderful music.. There is something about marching bands that evokes fond memories.. Colonel Bogeys Band for ever !!
This piece of martial music has been adopted by St. Paul's School in Rourkela for their March Past during the Annual Sports meet and as an ex-student of the school this tune evokes a lot of old memories.
This music's been driving me crazy for over 2 decades now.. Remembered hearing this daily immediately after we start off for our respective classrooms after the morning assembly.. Only the other day, I heard this bit being played on an accordion in the movie Day of the Jackal, and Googling the soundtrack of the movie landed me here... So happy to have finally found the name of this song; my time travel machine to my school days..! Aah, those were the days.. 🤗😍❤🎵🎶
Everyone in my band hated playing this at our concert last night, but I LIVED for the clarinet part at 130, around measure 38. It sounds so dark, like a villain army march! Class of 2021, y’all! ❤️
@@rizzstar123 Are you misunderstanding on purpose or something? Saying it's like a villain march just means they find it dark and dramatic. They were saying they really like the music!
I went through Air Force Survival school. I hummed this tune for 6 days in the snow. It inspired me to suffer through it. The movie was total fantasy, but the spirit of the song lives on.
My Grandfather, Ernest Frederic Woodham Peacock (TED) was an RCAF Group Commander. This was his favourite march. I heard it first at 1. I am now 64. History drives on. My Grampa. Lets keep passing history around. It is amazing. He was 16 in WW1 and of 5 brothers, only he and one other survived. As Flyers. Working with guys like Bill Bishop.
I remember this from Bridge on the River Kwai - I was about 7 or 8 at the time and started whistling it all the time - drove my parents nuts! Every time I hear it I see the POW's from the movie marching into the Japanese compound, proud and defiant....
I remember when I was a kid when this song started with traditional musical instruments ,the people at the wedding party started line up to do the polyneisian dance..it was 1966 in North Sulawesi Indonesia..Thanks,alot for posting this..
How amazing! A piece of music bring people from different corners of the together. A beautiful music knows no barrier 🎈🥳😏🥰. I still enjoy listening it even after decades!
Got to march to this for Battle of Britain parade a couple of months ago and marching to this for Remembrance Day parade. I'm an Air Cadet. Felt absolutely amazing.
this tune best defines the selfless courage and sacrifice a soldier exhibits in war irrespective of which nation he fights for. As John Rambo says, fight for everything, or die for nothing. An ode to the unknown soldier.
hacia años que no escuchaba la marcha del coronel bogey y me estropeo de risa repetirla tanto parece como si vinieran los reyes magos escribi ayer aqui que no tenia mono de musica pero lo que creo que tengo en vez de mono tengo mona que pesadita soy ja ja ja muchas gracias de esta gallega que con todo esto de la musica me divierto un monton
Mohamed Tahir Definitely! Although I personally find it a bit difficult to read the part with sticks up and down(having different 1st and 2nd time melodies written in the same bars).
Brasschick I was formerly a tuba player, no on euph. After sixty years playing my eyes are not what they were. I recently played this and hand copied the first strain counter melody. Amazing how much easier it is to read. Our lead trumpet (a retired music professor) commented how much he wishes he had taken up euph when he here's such marvelous counter melodies. Keep playing.
Centurions, is a Main Battle Tank. Centurions, has great turns and banks Centurions, can beat up Pattons'. They blow up Leopards to show, who's better ! Tier X Centurion ftw !
My favorite march. A great baritone counter melody that I played in high school. If I did real well, the bandmaster temporarily renamed it the Colonel Vugy March (My last name is Vugteveen.
I see. Your name is Vugeteveen. You must - have played it really keen. Bari - is really hairy - unless you keep all its pistons pristine. (Sorry, mate, couldn't help it! :P )
i love the way it goes nuts after being a funny, happy sounding march for the first minute, for me it feels like someone trying to be seen as calm and normal, then just exploding in rage, i really like it

Note indimenticabili ! ... da barese ricordo ancora la mia prima visita alla Fiera Del Levante (fine anni '50): gli altoparlanti dei viali trasmettevano ripetutamente questa musica che, benchè costituisse la sound track di drammatiche vicende narrate nel mitico 'Ponte sul fiume Kwai', nel mio immaginario è rimasta legata a quel contesto e ad un epoca felice della mia vita.
According to the #1 music historian, here are the lyrics that go along with this music. "Rabbits, and the same to you. Rabbits, and the same to you. (Everybody sing along now) Rabbits, and the same to you. Rabbits, and the same to you..."
Every year in Bolivia we have a civic military parade and we used to play this with our school band in those events. I've never knew the full name till now, thanks.
Comet, it makes your teeth turn green Comet, it tastes like gasoline Comet, it makes you vomit So get your Comet, and vomit, today Comet, it makes your teeth turn blue Comet, it tastes like Elmer's Glue Comet, it makes you vomit So get your Comet, and vomit, today
oh! Hello there! I just saw your query.We had to stand in a line outside our Assembly Hall and had to march in a single file into the hall.Our Principal, Miss LG Lutter and all the other teachers would also be there for the morning prayer before classes began.Someone would announce the thought for the day, which would normally be a good Quote from a poem, a book or a saying by a famous person. Sometimes there would be visiting dignitaries, for whom a small function would be organized.they would be welcomed with flowers from our school gardens. Students would recite poems, sing songs.It was a very happy school ritual.
Horse shit, it makes the grass grow green Cow shit, it does the same damn thing, Horse shit, Or is it cow shit Or is it horse shit and cow shit combined?
This is the one we always used to sing at school: Hitler, he's only got one ball The other is in the Albert Hall His mother, the dirty bugger She bit it off when he was small

Am I the only one out there whom this music reminds solely of Nintendogs :') ? I just can't help having my three dogs for my first save on this running in circles on this in my mind whenever I hear this.
It is amazing how the Dink Dink song is what brings most people here, when I saw them I was reminded of Disney, and every time I see this movie this song sends me on a search for it's origin.
I always whistled this song, just because my father does it and his father before him, and no one knew where it was from (I live in Argentina). Finally I got it, what a coincidence!
Glory to the Empire.
Why Argentine started the Falkland war?

Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen and because argentines lived on the islands until 1833 when they were forced out.
This is one of those songs that everybody knows, but nobody knows its name.
True, I only learnt the name today.

Lyrics:
Hitler, has only got one ball,
Göring, has two but very small,
Himmler, is rather sim'lar,
But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all!
Rommel, has four or five I guess,
But no-ones, quite sure 'bout Rudolf Hess,
Schmeling, is always yelling,
And poor old Goebbels has no balls at all!
Hitler, has only got one ball,
The other, is in the Albert Hall,
His mother, that dirty bugger,
Removed it, when Hitler was small!
She threw it, to East Germany,
It landed, in the great blue sea,
So all the fishes, got out their dishes,
And had scallops and bollocks for tea!
WHEN I SERVED AT CATTERICK (SIGNALS) WE SAND THESE WORDS (OUT LOUD) AT PARADES THAT HAD BANDS.

Note indimenticabili ! ... da barese ricordo ancora la mia prima visita alla Fiera Del Levante (fine anni '50): gli altoparlanti dei viali trasmettevano ripetutamente questa musica che, benchè costituisse la sound track di drammatiche vicende narrate nel mitico 'Ponte sul fiume Kwai', nel mio immaginario è rimasta legata a quel contesto e ad un epoca felice della mia vita.
According to the #1 music historian, here are the lyrics that go along with this music. "Rabbits, and the same to you. Rabbits, and the same to you. (Everybody sing along now) Rabbits, and the same to you. Rabbits, and the same to you..."
Nah, fuck that, it is and always will be "Hitler, has only got one ball"
Every year in Bolivia we have a civic military parade and we used to play this with our school band in those events. I've never knew the full name till now, thanks.
Comet, it makes your teeth turn green
Comet, it tastes like gasoline
Comet, it makes you vomit
So get your Comet, and vomit, today
Comet, it makes your teeth turn blue
Comet, it tastes like Elmer's Glue
Comet, it makes you vomit
So get your Comet, and vomit, today
I know this song as a kid in the early 60's.
We used to have a school march past to this composition. How much I used to hate the intro back then. Now i can't stop listening to it.
Gonna be performing this song tomorrow!
used to march to this, in school in the 60s.Used to love it.It is beautiful!Thanks for posting it.
Woah, you had to march at school? Would you tell me why, I'm interested
oh! Hello there! I just saw your query.We had to stand in a line outside our Assembly Hall and had to march in a single file into the hall.Our Principal, Miss LG Lutter and all the other teachers would also be there for the morning prayer before classes began.Someone would announce the thought for the day, which would normally be a good Quote from a poem, a book or a saying by a famous person. Sometimes there would be visiting dignitaries, for whom a small function would be organized.they would be welcomed with flowers from our school gardens. Students would recite poems, sing songs.It was a very happy school ritual.
We also used to March to this in school every morning brings back memories

Horse shit, it makes the grass grow green
Cow shit, it does the same damn thing,
Horse shit,

Nearly a decade after, this is super cool!
a march so British that my mustache started growing in at an accelerated rate
This is the one we always used to sing at school:
Hitler, he's only got one ball
The other is in the Albert Hall
His mother, the dirty bugger
She bit it off when he was small
STUCK ON A LOWLY PLANET SLOWLY SPINNING ITS WAY TO DAMNATION
Hell Let Loose brought me here
After 84 years of searching finally found it
So I was at Vernon Army Cadet Training Centre this summer, and i absolutely HAD to find this song

Am I the only one out there whom this music reminds solely of Nintendogs :') ? I just can't help having my three dogs for my first save on this running in circles on this in my mind whenever I hear this.
Yeaaah.
Mama no
Ur not alone
It is amazing how the Dink Dink song is what brings most people here, when I saw them I was reminded of Disney, and every time I see this movie this song sends me on a search for it's origin.
