Abergavenny - Marty Wilde (Shannon)

 

Shipwrecked Soldier from Spring's s/t debut album, UK 1971

 

Dead End Justice - The Runaways

 

"Left Right Out of Your Heart" by Patti Page, a Top 20 hit in 1958:

 

"Sweet Cream Ladies, Forward March" by the Box Tops:

 

A few in this older thread that don't seem to have been mentioned yet

March Madness !!! ( Compilation Game )

 

Lay Down Your Arms - Chordettes (and many others)

 

A marching video made by my son:



It took hours!

 

Far from musical geniuses, Coven were mere copyists, with the added burden of having a sub-par vocalist.

This is the original version of "One Tin Soldier," which is several orders of magnitude superior (and was also a Top 40 hit, though it charted a few places lower than Coven's cover):

 

Some are taking a broad definition of "marching music" that basically includes only the drum cadences that are typical of it, and no other "music" per se.

Therefore, I will follow suit with this (the last minute or so):

 

CHICAGO - An Hour In The Shower , part 3 Fallin' Out (from the 1971 double LP Chicago III).

 

Doesn't really answer the question but was the first dumb song that popped into my head. Still remember kids singing and doing the march for it when I was in school.

 

Rush. Jacobs Ladder

 

There's also U2 "Seconds" which plays a snippet of a marching cadence.

 

"Sports Song" by "Weird Al" Yankovic

​

 

Genesis - The Return of the Giant Hogweed

Several songs by Sufjan Stevens - this one for example:

 

This is a waltz that very suddenly turns into a march at the 1:18 mark:

 

I'm no expert on marching music, but the drums (by Phil Collins) at the end of the studio version of "She's Waiting" sound like it to me.

 

Nice one
I was thinking of that too, although this great Organon Mix came to mind because of the start:

Kate Bush - Cloudbusting (The Organon Remix)

 

Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl

 

The Cure - "The Empty World"

 

Not just marching music but an actual marching band!
