Here's an album of parade songs and marches, including some you probably haven't heard of (Betty Co-Ed), songs you never really associated as marches (Jingle Bells??), and songs you may know but didn't know the name of (The Whistler's Song). A lot of John Philip Sousa, as you might expect. All of 'em will keep you marching until your legs go stiff!
Here's the track list:
- On the Mall
- The Marines' Hymn
- Betty Co-Ed
- The Whistler's Song
- Yankee Doodle March
- Dixie
- Jingle Bells March
- Hail Columbia
- America
- Columbia the Gem of the Ocean
- The U.S. Air Force
- Lassus Trombone
- Pomp and Circumstance
- This Old Man
- (Turn Over the Record)
- The Caissons Go Rolling Along
- Dixieland Style March
- Stars and Stripes Forever
- When Johnny Comes Marching Home
- I've Been Working on the Railroad
- Pop Goes the Weasel
- Semper Fidelis
- The Thunderer
- Invercargill
- Camptown Races
- Mulberry Bush March
- America the Beautiful
- Star Spangled Banner
One of Sousa's most rousing marches included here is "The Thunderer", but this is my favorite version of the song:
Actually, I have heard "Betty Co-Ed." Rudy Vallee sang it and I am fairly sure he did a rendition of it for Max & Dave Fleischer as a bouncing ball short.
