Army songs/cadences
-
Anyone kind enough to post the lyrics (or at least dialect pronunciations-cum-translations) for the "ai-yo, ai-yo, ai-ai-yo" song?
Haven't sung it since circa '87; I need to refresh my memory, & am also curious whether the words have changed since - it's 16 years!
Thx. Feel free to post any other songs/cadences as well in this thread .... -
Wah lao.... so many version, diff date enlist diff liao. Than change of pick up pt from CC to CMPB and to today parent send in, camp change, like SBMT, to 7BTS and than to BMTC too many liao. cannot write lar.

ai-yo, ai-yo, ai-ai-yo arh ai-yo, ai-yo, ai-ai-yoooo arh!!! -
~lol~ They've changed that much? Must get my cousin to sing me the latest version when we meet up over CNY ...
I can dig up some of these cadences online, but they're almost all American. Can't find a locally-dedicated website yet :-(
Brought this topic up cuz I caught the Army Daze movie on VCD over the weekend; they had "Training to be Soldier" sung over the closer, & it's a slightly different version from what I was taught! Ah well, at least the "...two years of our time..." line will soon be SOP, even as the preceding "...once in our lives..." bit remains technically incorrect. -
I ask my girl
to take a walk
to take a walk
down orchard road
by-pass maindarin
onto centerpoint
where we had lunch
at mcdonalds
we had fillet
and apple pie
we share a drink
of lemonlime
holding her hand
looking into her eyes
I ask my girl
to be my valentine...
Part II
When I book in
I call her home
Her mother says
she is not at-home
...*can't remember liao*
this is during my era late 80s early 90s song. -
Can anyone remember the lyrics for
Have we ever wonder
Why we train-ain
It is not for honour
It is not for glory
Have we ever wonder
* can't remember the rest*
can anyone care to add-on. -
I do remember something that goes :
*Purple Light in the valley... that is where I want to be .... blah blah... SOC sibeh siong... blah blah blah...
*The rest can't remember* -
Spencer99,
I've served my NS roughly in the same era & the version I know is slightly different:
[Sung to Olivia Newton-John's "Banks of the Ohio"]
I asked my love to take a walk
To take a walk, just a little walk
Down Orchard Road, to Centerpoint
Where we had lunch, at McDonalds
We had French fries, & lemon line
& apple pie that tasted so fine
I asked my love, "why so many?"
She said, "Tah-pau for the family."
& so on... I remember the other stanzas namedropping certain popular-culture landmarks along Orchard Road, from "Wisma fishtank" to "Far East Plaza/Sunny bookstore" to "Plaza Singapura", even the Attic record-shop in the same Centerpoint, etc. The underlying premise has the singer being dragged around by his girlfriend on a date.
Can I post a risque song here? (Hint: "& the convent girls play ping pong with my balls" is one of the lines). I actually learnt it way before my NS, even before at SJI; I 1st picked it up when I was in Primary 5, & St. Anthony's Convent was next door! -

any more?
quite interesting, sick of singing the same old songs everyday.
everyday we sing airborne, purple light, training to be a soldier, why must we serve and book out song. and then there's the routemarch song, the name's in malay so i can never remember it. but it always starts off with we'll never be moved. i hate that song, dumb tune and dumb lyrics. -
airborne.
A for airborne
I for in the sky
R for dunno what
B for born to fly
O for Orion
R for ready
N for never quit
E for everyday
down by the river
took a little walk
ran into some terrorists
had a little talk
*alot of indecipherable nonsense here that i can never catch*
into the river
left them to drown
we don't need no terrorists
*can't decipher this part either*
during book in day we just sing today is our book in day, same lyrics as book out day. some modifications, can't remember them though. have never been good at remembering lyrics or tunes.
