Making up words to tunes your corps play.


Recommended Posts

HAHA these are great! Great thread!

I know the early 2000 Bluecoats had a lot....the jazz song from '02 included "I'll be your daddy tonight," and there was something from '00 about eating babies (:sshh:), but surely someone else remembers them more than I do.

And then this year, everyone started making up lyrics after "join our Caravan.........." in Illinois, and I'm not sure which ones were finalized and made official, haha.

Ya know, you have bit of a headstart setting your show to song when you're performing selections from musicals!

From 87 Sky Ryders - to the tune of "Somewhere" from West Side Story...

There's a place for us

And it's on Gary's bus

(became "Maggie's bus" when I moved to SCV)

From 87 Sky Ryders - to the tune of "America" from West Side Story

insprired by the corps being stranded in Boulder, Colorado for a week when our busses were impounded. There was more than one version of this one... cuz we had that kinda time!

I want to play in the Mambo. But Mr. Lindsey says "NO NO NO!"

I'm getting cut from the whole d*amned show.

Cuz of the death camp in Boulder, Co.

I used to play measure forty four.

But I got cut, I don't play there no more.

(guard shouts a la 84 Garfield) Bye Bye!

92 Cavies: "four more notes, four more notes...four - more - notes, four-more-notes...FOUR-MORE-NOTES!!!

I guess you are a drum corps freak like me to know that this refers to the snare line at the end of the show.

(To the Tune of Spanish Fantasy Part IV... for those of you that have heard BD 94 it's the first big riff they play after the ballad)

Water

Water

Water

H20

Gotta get a drink

Gotta get a drink

Gotta get a drink

H20

needless to say, this was sung after going for awhile without water.

MHSmirage - unless the words have changed, that's not quite how stadium lights goes, but close.

I think that's:

"I march in Phantom 'cause I like fourth place."

Just the way I remember it...

Elmo Blatch

That's the way we sang it too!

I always heard: "I march in Phantom 'cause I like straight lines"

or the more controversial "I march in Phantom 'causse I liked to get...######/screwed/slotted."
