Rock/Pop songs that have marching music

Another good one.
I think march music in a song may be one of the few things The Beatles did not invent.

 

Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet...



Paper Lace ~ Billy Don't Be A Hero

 

Dang. I love that song. Great tune. They even dressed the part!

 

After watching the "Tusk" video from Dodger Stadium followed by the clip of the USC marching band's halftime rendition of the song, I just realized what has irked me about Mac's version for the last 39 years; the annoying and incessant drumming. It's actually not a bad song without Fleetwood Mac's involvement. It's been years almost ten years since I've been to a home game at SC, but the band should do this song on occasion for kicks. I'm sure all the alumnuses (whatever the word is -- you can tell I didn't go to 'SC, huh? lol!) at the game would get a kick out of hearing it again.

 

Michael Jackson ~ They Don't Care About Us

 

The intro to this is a march. Then it kind of goes to a rock beat.

 

Madness ~ Land Of Hope & Glory

 

"L'America" - The Doors

 

Grateful Dead - "St. Stephen"

The old High green chilly winds and windy section that connected to "The Eleven."

 

Extra like for the refusal to delete.

 

If you go into the country genre.....

Brad Paisley--Online beginning at 5:18



The song actually has a real high school marching band playing--Brentwood High School Marching Band:

Leave it to radiohead to hide a march inside a glitchy electronic beat in an odd time signature:



Radiohead - 15 Step @ The Grammys 2009 [Highlights]

 

Free "Soldier Boy"

 

Great responses. I forgot so many!

 

Rich Kids - "Marching Men"

 

A fine guitar player.

 

I love Ghosts of Princes in Towers.

 

Hellbilly's G.I. Blues

 

The infamous
They’re Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa! Napoleon XIV

 

And to think I just listened to Dr. Demento's Greatest Hits a few nights ago and did not remember that one.

 

One Morning In May - James Taylor. It takes its time turning into a march, but it gets there eventually.

 

... and speaking of Genesis (as you did in your OP), Duchess gets pretty marchy after the drum machine opening reverts back to live drumming around the 2:00 mark.

 

"Be Prepared" - Doris Day
