Thread Name: Military Jodies?
Subject: RE: Military Jodies?
Jody's were "discouraged" in my coompany in Basic Training. Occasionally we'd get to hear other companies singing out. In Advanced Training I heard many more. The concept of taking some popular song and using it as a Jody was certainly alive and well. I remember

The prettiest girl, THE PRETTIEST GIRL

I ever saw, I EVER SAW.

Was sippin' so-....

Da through a straw. ....

THE PRETTIEST GIRL I EVER SAW, WAS SIPPIN' SODA THROUGH A STRAW.

This pattern was followed to the end of the song. Also "When the Saints Go Marchin' In" was done in this call and response style.
