ffernbus3 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Well, this one is pretty mild, actually. Background material: the Lakewood, CA, Ambassadors were founded by a grand old guy named Bill Francis....the "B" corps was run by The Harns, who later went out on their own taking The Diplomats with them, management I/we had to deal with in the 71 edition of The Dips.......so, the characters are Bill Francis and Richard Harn: "Chim-chiminy-chim-chiminy chim chim cha rick, Francis is a William..... (LOUDLY) ...and Harn is a DICK!" From somewhere around 1963, I think. RON HOUSLEY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK whose first ????!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> On the number 2 bus of SCV, there really wasn't a lot of group singing that I can remember, except occassionaly to change the lyrics of some Yes songs to suit the mood of the person singing them - they are quite unrepeatable. However, when I was in the San Jose State Marching Band, ther was a wide aray of musicians in the band, a few of which were opera majors. They had gotten a hold of a book of songs entitled, and I am paraphrasing here, "Barnicle Bill and Other Bawdy Songs". If you have a taste for this type of thing I reccommend it highly. At one point in our Southerly trip, they were singing from this from ground floor to the upper balconey at the tops of their lungs. "I just got paid, I wanna get L%$#, I'm Barnicle Bill the Sailor", was the chorus, if my memory doesn't fail me. I'm going to go search it out as soon as I am done here - enjoy.

Good luck with the thread-it's gonna be fun to watch!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I just want to clarify something before my phone starts ringing.In no way should my comment be taken to mean that the Glassmen of the70's were rude, uncouth,or of poor moral fiber. As anyone who was around the corps at that time can tell you, we were all fine upstanding sin-free souls until those heathen devils from the Royal Lancers(Wyandotte Mi.) invaded our drumline and corrupted our God-Fearing viginal little souls.

apoch003 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Since we didn't separate the drumline from the rest of the corps... we usually just prayed they wouldn't tap their sticks on the back of our seats all summer long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
