Pebbles and Bam Bam
(Lyrics & History)
Military units maintain rhythm through cadences - Drill Sergeant-led songs that coordinate marching at 120 BPM and running at 180 BPM while building cohesion.
Lyrics
Pebbles and Bam Bam on a Friday night
Trying to get to Heaven on a paper kite
Lightning struck and down they fell
Instead of going Heaven, they both went to Hell
Dino the dog was on the bone
While Fred and Barney rocked the microphone
There was nothing Fred or Barney could do
Except singing, “Yabba Dabba Dabba Doo!”
