Gregory Skinner, Count Cadence--Count!
Somewhat amazed that there is such a published book, I ordered it for the bookshelf at the old soldiers' home. There actually was another such volume issued in 1994. My copy has hardly been opened at was purchased for $5.45 from an AAFEs somewhere. SFC Skinner divides the cadences into Double Time Cadences and Quick Time Cadences, and promises that the words are carefully laid out for efficient use.
He identifies the start of these calls to PVT Willie Duckworth, serving at Fort Slocum in May 1944, who was bored with the usual 1-2-3-4 cadence counts. I recognized none of them, but being in the Signal Corps did not do much marching after basic training in 1968. Speaking with more recent servicemen and women, clever lyrics are now used quite often to motivate the trips. These skills are of course best known in Rap.
