You don't remember the Yellow Bird cadence? A yellow bird with a yellow bill Sat upon my window sill I lured him in with a piece of bread And then I smashed hiiiiiis fucking head!!!
Never heard that one, but I was Air Force. In tech school at Keesler, the filthiest, raunchiest ones were more often than not the creation of one of the women. Like blacks and crime, military women and X-rated imaginations seem joined at the hips.
2nd verse: The prettiest leg, I ever saw, Was on a puppy, with a broken paw. I lured him in, with a piece of meat, aannnnd then I smashed his, other feet!
That cadence didn't pop into my head. Instead I thought of survival school and killing anything that looked edible. When I think of cadences now, the one that pops into my head is the Horizontal Harris cadence; See the lady dressed in red She makes her living giving head. See the lady dressed in black She makes her living on her back. See the lady dressed in blue For twenty bucks she'll let you screw. See the lady dressed in white She sucks a dick most every night.
That color has a lot of names. Institutional green. Chrome green. Spinach green. Grey-green. Puke green. But I like yours best.
Back in my teens I was a member of several organizations that met in old government buildings. Our rent was usually cleaning up the areas we use. I have spent many an hour cleaning green walls.
Believe it or not, that is the death chamber at the Wallls Unit in Huntsville,Texas. The Sgt. In charge told me that it was actually from a batch of mismatched paint from a local hardware store. On sale.
#7. I doubt they call cadence anymore, Kenny, based on that clusterfuck we got to watch on the 14th. Sometimes I wish I was found in Panama dead, at least for a day or two. Eod1sg Ret

Delete“Pretty little bird, with a pretty little bill.
DeleteLanded on my window sill,
Coached him in with a piece of bread.
Then I smashed his fuck’in head!”
Marching? Cadence? WTF? I was in the Navy.('65-"69)!
DeleteUSN 81-85 we marched are asses off in the middle of the winter in Great Lakes Ill. A lot of cadence songs but not that one.
Delete2nd verse:

That cadence wasn't around in the early days of the Black Boot US Army (early days of the switch from brown boots to black).

Anon 5:20 - I could've done without it to be honest with you. It was a dumb fucking cadence and ceased to be funny after the first time you heard it.
DeleteSang it in boot camp in the summer of '72 at Fort Knox. With slight variations.
DeleteThat cadence didn't pop into my head. Instead I thought of survival school and killing anything that looked edible.
DeleteWhen I think of cadences now, the one that pops into my head is the Horizontal Harris cadence;
See the lady dressed in red
She makes her living giving head.
See the lady dressed in black
She makes her living on her back.
See the lady dressed in blue
For twenty bucks she'll let you screw.
See the lady dressed in white
She sucks a dick most every night.
I don't remember how it goes but in my day in the mid-60's, it was "Jodie's got your girl".
Delete"Yellow Bird"??? US Marines in the 1960's did not have such a wimpy cadence. Not in my Marine Corps anyway.
Delete#16 for the win
ReplyDelete#7 ok, I'll bite.????......and I'm a veteran
See my reply to the first comment.
Delete#18 I'd call that killer green

This looks more like "You Shouldn't Have Left Any Witnesses"green-
Delete"Quantavious Green"- has a nice ring to it-
DeleteQuantavious Green. Is that anything like Leroy Brown?
Delete"He was mean, mean, Quantavious Green"-
DeleteI always called it "Nut House Green"
Delete"Quantavious Green. Is that anything like Leroy Brown?"
DeleteI prefer Berry White.
This just keeps getting better and better.
DeleteGilmore Red. Doesn't show blood.
DeleteBelieve it or not, that is the death chamber at the Wallls Unit in Huntsville,Texas. The Sgt. In charge told me that it was actually from a batch of mismatched paint from a local hardware store. On sale.
DeleteI don't believe it.
DeleteI would call it "low bid green"
Delete, since it is in a government facility.
# 1. Too true

ReplyDeleteAgree-that was difficult to watch.
DeleteKen, 6th line . Crumbs of bread.
ReplyDeleteIn the OLD ARMY it was "crust" of bread.
DeleteH, you're absolutely right. It was a crust of bread.
DeleteI heard #7 in my head immediately--and I was Navy!

#1 - Now I have the song "If I only had a brain" bouncing around in my head like some kind of ear worm from 1939 so thanks for that.
ReplyDelete#13: Is that one of them 1970s "Mood Rings"?
ReplyDeleteI was Navy 64-68. I don't recall hearing any of those cadence calls while I was at Great Lakes.
ReplyDeleteOn the parade, one of the first things I noticed was practically NONE of the troops were marching in step. Pitiful.

Well,I admit to being an old fart now. But some of this gets to me . #15 is just really bad taste and #18 yeah..Gross grace gray.
