I Wanna Be In The Cavalry

[daftandbarmy]

Has anyone adopted this as an unofficial march past yet? I'm guessing that 'Gary Owen' is still safe....

"I Wanna Be In The Cavalry". Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans.

yes I`ve heard this song many many times. Corb Lund & The Hurtin Albertans are such a great band, god bless Alberta.

 

[Redeye]

It's a great tune - actually, it's a great album altogether.

I'd think "Horse Soldier" is a better one though for the Armoured to consider...  check it out.

"Gonna shine up my boots" and "Roughest Neck Around". Excellent tunes

 

[Red 6]

I dunno. This song might've given Garry Owen a run for the money. Too bad Custer didn't get a chance to listen to this tune before he rode off to the Little Big Horn...

 

[X-mo-1979]

I love it!

Long Live A sqn Cav!

I saw this on TV a few months ago, I think on CMT, it's the only time I've ever seen anything on CMT(apart from Home Improvement) that's made me stop flicking channels to watch the entire thing, catchy tune, nice video.

I like it!

I sent the link out to a couple of my old battle buddies who are still serving on active duty. One of them is the Regimental CSM for the 11th Cavalry at Ft Irwin. Looks like the song might start getting some playtime down here as well!

cheers, Mark

I've heard that the song has already been adopted (unofficially) by a couple of Cav units in the States.  I'll see if I can find a reference.
