Quite correct. The song is an Israeli one. It is sung often while
working. It sounds really great when sung in a round. When friends of
ours get together we sing it sometimes. It seems to me that it would be a
good song to sing while doing some project, like campsite improvment or
something like that. It has a definite rhythm, and makes one feel like he
is part of a group, and that he belongs. (IMHO of course).

    The National Jam
    Words by Ben Bibeck, Curtis Hawkins and Craig Younkman
    A copyrighted work
    
    Packin' my bags, leavin' my home,
      Feelin' like I had to roam.
    
    Mom says to me, "Why you gotta be
      So sad, so full of misery?"
    
    "It's time to go, time to get away.
      This boring scene is not my way!"
    
    Mom said to me, "Don't be absurd,
      That's the strangest thing I've ever heard."
    
    She told me to get rational
      and sent me off to National.
    
    When I had in fact arrived,
      I knew indeed I could survive.
    
    Scouting adventure is no scam.
      That's why we do the National Jam !
    
    (Chorus)
    Na-tion-al Jam, Jam.
      This is the National Jam Jam.
      (repeat 5 times)
    
    This home is yours to create,
      Just have some fun and recreate.
    
    Building friends and singing songs,
      Helps us see that we're not wrong.
    
    This world is great as we will show.
      With brotherhood we'll help it grow.
    
    Each day we observe our special faith.
      In mass and church, we consecrate.
    
    Our synagogue with open skies.
      Brings God in focus in our lives.
    
    I miss my mom and my girl Sue,
      But I'm sure glad to be with you.
    
    When things get tough and home's not near.
      Ma Bell is there to make it clear.
    
    E-T knows that when you're away.
      "Phone home" can help to make your day.
    
    In building friends and learning skills,
      It's real unique -- a major thrill.
    
    No matter what you like to do,
      Trade or learn or talk to Sue.
    
    Don't need drinks or drugs, my man.
      We're gettin' our high doin' the National Jam!
    
    At trading post, we've got a lot,
      Our souvenirs are really hot.
    
    Patches, pins and bolo ties.
      We'll sell you things, we'll marvelize!
    
    Ice cream, hamburger, junk food too,
      We'll fill you up and move you through.
    
    And when you need a few supplies,
      They're all here too, right before your eyes.
    
    Our help is great, we're like a flash.
      You come right down and bring your cash.
    
    It's all right here, we're straight, my man.
      We're proud to be part of the National Jam!
    
    (Chorus)
    
    Adventure's here, it's all around
      The program's great, it will confound.
    
    If you can swim or like to float,
      The water's here for canoe or boat.
    
    The merit badges just come alive.
      On the midway -- that's where they thrive.
    
    There's people, places and things to do,
      There's gateways, guests -- they'll welcome you.
    
    Steven Spielberg just showed me how,
      To make a movie, then and now.
    
    Confidence course -- archery too,
      Pioneering projects involving you.
    
    Marksmanship, not just for fun,
      It's all right here you've got to come.
    
    The buses run, they're sometimes late,
      Just get on board, or sit and wait.
    
    This Jamboree is quite the scene,
      For the first time ever for flush latrines.
    
    There's lines and crowds -- the Jamb's big,
      But we get along, it's quite the gig.
    
    Now if you think adventure's near,
      You're right on track, it's right here.
    
    As you can see, we've got the plan.
      We live adventure at the National Jam!
    
    (Chorus)

Subject:      More Silly Songs!

With apologies to the purists amoung us, I thought I would post these
songs that I saw on a song sheet recently.  The boys should love them,
and a lot of us leaders can relate to "Scout Wetspers".

---

Scout Wetspers
Tune: Scout Vespers (Oh, Tannenbaum)

Softly falls the rain today
As our campsite floats away.
Silently, each Scout should ask
"Did I bring my SCUBA mask?
Have I tied my tent flaps down?
Learned to swim, so I won't drown?
Have I done, and will I try
Everything to keep me dry?"

---

Road Kill Stew
Tune: Three Blind Mice

Road Kill stew,
Road Kill stew,
Tases so good,
Just like it should.

First you go down to the Interstate
You wait for the critter to meet it's fate.
You take it home and you make it great!
Road Kill stew,
Road Kill stew,

---

Commercial Mixup
Tune: Farmer in the Dell
(Anybody remember Homer and Jethro's "Billboard Song"?

Last night I watched TV.
I saw my favorite show.
I heard a strange commercial,
I can't believe it's so.

Feed your dog chiffon.
Comet cures a cold.
Use SOS pads on your face
To keep from looking old.

For headaches take some Certs.
Use Tide to clean your face.
And do shampoo with Elmer's Glue,
It holds your hair in place.

Perhaps I am comfused.
I might not have it right.
But one thing I am certain of,
I'll surf TV tonight!

Enjoy!  :)

Subject:      Taps

Last Friday, Larry Jones requested a post on the origin of Taps.  Here is my understanding of the story.

Taps was devised during the Civil War.  In 1862, the Union Army of the Potomac, under Major General George McClellan, was transported to the Virginia Peninsula to launch a campaign against the Confederate capital at Richmond.  The Army met stiff resistance at the outskirts of 
 Richmond.  After a series of battles,  McClellan, a cautious general by nature, and misinformed as to the strength of the Confederate army confronting him, elected to change bases - a carefully worded synonym for retreat - to a site to the south, on the bank of the James River
.

During this retreat, the Army of the Potomac was forced to stand and fight the pursuing Confederate army at Malvern Hill.  The Confederate army, rather unwisely, charged the Union line and was defeated.  The battle of Malvern Hill was fought on June 28 - July 1, 1862.

On July 2 (134 years ago today), in a miserable rain, the Army of the Potomac completed its depressing and embarrassing retreat to Harrison’s Landing on the James River.  The retreat was a grim disillusionment for the North, which had expected a short war.  For the Army of the Potomac, it was its darkest and saddest hour.

Encamped at Harrison’s  Landing that summer was Brigadier General Daniel Butterfield.  He was the commander of the 3rd brigade of the 1st division of the Army of the Potomac's 5th corps.  A fairly undistinguished officer otherwise, General Butterfield had an ear for music.  Previously, he had observed that his brigade’s bugle call caused confusion in camp, because it could not be distinguished from that of other brigades.  So he devised a unique bugle call for the 3rd brigade.

Now, in camp along the James, he noted that the regulation evening bugle call for lights out was neither musical nor inspirational, nor tranquilizing.  He devised a alternative tune for his bugler, which, after a couple of attempts, became Taps.  The tune became popular, and soon the entire Army of the Potomac was using the call in place of the regulation call for lights out.

Eventually, Taps was adopted by all Union armies, and became official army regulation.  Taps remains regulation to this day.

The story of Taps is particularly appropriate for July 2, given that today is the anniversary of the Army of the Potomac’s long retreat to the Harrison’s Landing camp.

I've really enjoyed the Halloween songs that have been posted and have
shared them with my boys (sons, Den, Pack).  My Tiger son brought this
one home.

ON THE THIRTEENTH NIGHT OF HALLOWEEN, MY GOBLIN GAVE TO ME:

Thirteen ghosts a-booing,
twelve vampires nibbling,
eleven black cats hissing,
ten skeletons rattling,
nine bats a-flying,
eight werewolves howling,
seven lizards creeping,
six spiders spinning,

five pounds of worms,

four cackling witches,
three jack-o'-lanterns,
two hairy toads,
and a spooky owl in a gnarled tree.

I'm making up for lost time.  Usually by the time I've caught up with my
reading, I have no time to reply.  So since I've actually got a free 10
minutes, Here are some Halloween Songs my mother gave me a couple years ago.
No idea where they came from.

Henry the Hairy Werewolf  (Tune: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer)

Henry the Hairy Werewolf had a very hairy head.
And if you ever saw it, you would turn pale and drop down dead.
All of the other werewolves used to laugh and call him Fred.
They never let poor Henry dance in the old graveyard bed.
Then one foggy Halloween, the full moon came to say;
"Henry with your hairy head, won't you dance in the graveyard bed?"
Then how the werewolves loved it as they shouted out in fright;
"Henry the Hairy Werewolf, you're a really killing sight.

Prelude:
There's Judy & Mary & David & Steve
Marlo & Alice & Freckles & Fleas.
But do you recall the most famous Werewolf of all?

One Little, Two Little, Three Little Witches

One little, two little, three little witches,
Fly over hay stacks, fly over ditches,
Slide down the moon without any hitches.
Hi Ho Halloween's here.

Take Me Out to the Graveyard  (Tune: Take me Out to the Ball Game)

Take me out to the graveyard
Take me out to the grave.
Buy me some blood and iodine.
I don't care if I meet Frankenstein.
So it's hip, hip, hip for the wolfman.
If he bites it's a pain.
So it's one, two, three bites you're dead
And your ghost remains!

Toofy Werewolf  (Tune: Yankee Doodle)

Toofy Werewolf came to town a creeping in the night.
He stuck a bat in his hat and gave himself a fright.
Toofy Werewolf bite your neck, Toofy Werewolf creeping.
Mind your vampires and your bats and keep people from sleeping.

Jay, yup, that's the song Steve Henderson did at NE-CS-48.  It's also been
done on each Cub Scout Wood Badge course I've staffed since then, as well as
at Akela Calls and who knows where else.  I don't think Steve wrote it, but
he did embellish it.

I didn't recognize the tune - it definitely wasn't "Battle of New Orleans"
as someone suggested here - but trust me, it's beautiful.  Call Steve and
Dvonne and I'm sure they'd sing it to you over the phone......

And Rob, here are the words to "I'm Going to Hire a Boy Scout to Decorate
our Home", from the Akela Calls 1995 Songbook:

Came home late Sunday afternoon...
Finally got out all my gear as she opened the door
She said, "You're not gonna do this anymore."

Chorus:
She said, I'm gonna hire a Boy Scout to decorate our home
So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't need to roam.
We'll take down the family pictures, hang backpacks on the wall,
And we'll lash a latrine seat in our bathroom down the hall.

Just bring those tin foil dinners and I'll cook 'em all right here.
And we'll drink apple bug juice and good old Dad's Root Beer.
And just for you I'll keep in stock those all-aluminum cans
So you can go recycling for your environmental plan.

We'll rip out all the carpet, put pine needles on the floor
And we'll put up a gateway for when you come through the door.
And when you want your supper, you can flick your Bic
And instead of gourmet cooking we'll have hot dogs on a stick.

<Chorus>

Instead of nightly TV, we'll have a campfire show
And you'll get a chance to sing for me those stupid songs you know.
And I'll do a funny cheer for you each time you tell a joke.
Hey, as long as you don't repeat old skits I'll laugh until I croak.

Instead of family planning, we'll have a PLC
And maybe plan our calendar through 2003
If my trading post is open you can rob your piggy bank
And when you make Silver Beaver, well you'll have me to thank.

(Modulation)
She said, I'm gonna hire a Boy Scout to decorate our home
So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't need to roam.
So when you want to go camping and you have a weekend free,
Well there won't be any reason why you can't stay here with me.

<chorus>
