Was watching Full Metal Jacket last night.. And I was wondering...

Does anybody know of a resource for cadence chants?

Should we make our own Colonial marine chant?

There are several US forces cadence tapes/CDs available.

SEALs, Army Rangers, Army and several Marines volumes.
There's even a series called Run To Cadence.


Failing that, I've written a few myself before.
I can also play drum tattoos if someone has recording equipment.

I have the equipment!

I could do with a little holiday to say oooooo........READING!

lol

"You are not your Drop Count."

Here's a quickly adapted verse, from my memory of a 64 Rangers one.
Call each line twice, obviously:


Out of orbit in an old Drop-ship,
Colonial Marines on a one way trip.
Mission's unspoken, destination's unknown.
Don't even know if we'll make it home.
I got no regrets, I need no good-byes;
My guardian angel Flies The Friendly Skies!!

I made this one back in 2007 (sung to the tune of "C-130 Rollin' Down the Strip"):

APC FULL OF BADASS GRUNTS....

COLONIAL MARINES GOIN' ON A BUG HUNT!

GEAR UP, GET HOT, READY AT THE DOOR...

RUN RIGHT OUT AND SHOUT MARINE CORPS!

PULSE RIFLE, SMARTGUN BY MY SIDE...

THESE ARE THE TOOLS THAT MAKE BUGS DIE!



IF THE BUGS DESTROY THE DROPSHIP...

THAT’S OK WE’VE GOT SHARP STICKS!

IF THE BUGS FIGURE OUT THE FLOOR PLAN...

NUKE THIS JOINT, OR IT’S GAME OVER MAN!


IF I DIE ON THE COMBAT DROP...

TAKE WHAT’S LEFT TO THE BUTCHER SHOP!

BOX ME UP WITH A PACK OF SMOKES...

BURY ME AND CALL MY FOLKS!

TELL MY MOMMA NOT TO CRY...

THE MARINE CORPS MOTTO IS SEMPER FI!


We didn't use it as it was a little too much. The key however is for a cadence to be simple. Simple works as it is less likely to trip up anyone repeating the chant, and the more comfortable everyone is, the louder they will shout it.

Technically, you're the 'pussy'.
Xenos only have penises..... Facehuggers are essentially walking reproductive organs. Sounds a bit like Hicks!!

That's because the one you had was male...

Didn't seem to matter when I was getting ripped to shreds!!

That's odd. G's usually over flowing with lube, er drool.

Funnily enough, both Abe and G are drooling/lubing profusely: I have the swine flu.

Have you broken out in Rashers? I hear you can get an oinkment for it...

I'll get my coat.

Leave the posing to the poofs on Lead Guitar

Haha!

You know it is funny how it always works that way eh?

Cheers

I may be a drummer with a mind of mush
And the social skills of a nettle bush,
But better that than a wannabe star,
Like the posturing poof on lead guitar!!

When the singer's knockin' on my door,
Here's a thing, of which you can be sure;
However much you rehearse your drummin',
The silly sod never knows when to come in!!


Man, I should have been a song-writer......
