I've found words of the song "The Ric A Dam Doo", but I am looking for a music for that, maybe any hymns or martial music, that are used in PPCLI. I looked that in Internet to download, but din't find..

Also I am interesting what songs or music are commonly used in C Coy of PPCLI? on training, marches, e.t.c...

thanks

C Coy from which Battalion?


I've never seen any Platoons or Coys singing when on training or marches.. unless the troops are just joking around.

And then the words would not be fit for public listening!!!!

On our road runs I would call out the cadence...by singing out the Ric A Dam Doo. That was back in 1977.
On an exchange with C Coy 3rd of the 17th Inf Brigade 7th ID, US Army, we were on morning PT road run and the Americans asked if any of us Canucks would call cadence. I volunteered and I've never been prouder since.

The Americans loved the fact that the Ric A Dam Doo was adopted for our 120 beats per minute running cadence, just like we did in Battle School Wainwright, AB. They admired the fact that our Regimental History is/was embodied in this song.

Thanks for the memories!  :wave:
