Making up words to tunes your corps play.


Recommended Posts

In 86, we overheard one of the staff members of Garfield tell the corps to get of the rental bus at a show. That night on our bus trip, this emerged (Sung to 86 Garfield's On the Waterfront -the last part/fast movement):

Get off the rental bus

Get off the bus

Get off the rental bus

Get off the bus

Get off the, get off the the

Get off the, get off the

Rental Bus, NOW

Another from 86 - on a bus ride, someone asked to please pass the cooler up. Almost in unison, several people burst out to the tune "We're Off to See the Wizard":

Please pass the cooler up

Please pass the cooler up now

Please pass the cooler

Please pass the cooler up right now

Please pass the cooler up

Pleeeeaasssseee pass the cooler up

The classic I hear years ago....

We march in Phantom cause we like straight lines,

We march in Phantom cause we like big flags,

We march in Phantom cause we weren't the best,

We march in Phantom cause we couldn't make Cadets.

Another one..... end of Cavies 1992,

please stand up, please stand up, PLEASE STAND UP, PLEASE STAND UP up huh whimper whimper.......

I think a little girl sings it in an insurance commercial or something like that.

No, it's a battery commercial. They cut from her to Bon Jovi and back and forth.

Had to post in this one because this was basically my JOB last year. At least, I did it constantly. There was one show where we performed terribly and our brass caption head, Derek Gipson, and program coordinator took turns giving us 15 minute lectures about how badly we did. That night on the bus I sang, to the baritone line from the closer, "The show was bad, Derek was mad doo doo doo doo dooooo..." and so on.

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)

HEY, that's ME! b**bs

:rock: I remember that. Thanks for keeping me laughing Brad and Co., it made my "job" so much better ^OO^

On topic. Some place, I believe it was '73, the buses broke down around 2:00am and it happened to be RIGHT NEXT to a bread factory. All we could do was sit on the curb and smell that bread baking... Pure torture.

Anyway, we sung this to the tune of "Do you love me?" from Fiddler (naturally)

"Are you hungry?"

"Am I what?"

"Are you hungry?"

"Am I hungry."

"Well..."

"With the buses breaking down, nothing open in this town, you're upset, you're worn out, go inside, go lie down. Maybe it's indigestion!"

I'm sure there was more to it but I was too hungry then to remember it all.

Sure, I could but:

1) My alumni rights would be stripped from me.

2) My DCP rights would be stripped from me

3) The FCC would shut this site down.

In other words, what we sang was not for the faint of heart or for some of you youngins to hear/read.

Totally OT

... our brass caption head, Derek Gipson, and program coordinator took turns giving us 15 minute lectures about how badly we did.
Is that Derek from Louisiana who aged out w/ the Cadets (I think) @ '98? If so, tell Ego (Derek) that Gail says Hi! I'm glad to see he grew into his nickname :rolleyes: .

/OT
