British March: Colonel Bogey March 

All together now.....Hitler has only got one ball. The other is in the Albert Hall. Himmler has something similar and Goebbels has no balls at all.... 😂🤣😂

You know they're disciplined because they can resist the urge to break out into singing "Hitler has only got one ball".

RIP Queen Elizabeth. She was the best.

One of the most British-sounding marches out there.

I was in an Officer Cadre when we whistled the Colonel Bogey March through an underpass. The sound bounced off of the walls, and it was like there were 1,000 of us.

I have felt that this is one of the most stirring marches that are regularly played, and often demonstrated by professional members of the Armed Forces,Royal British Legion and other people who parade in a very prestigious manner to this music,often performed in a very rumbustious style. I always appreciate hearing this fine March.Anthony Green

Love this march. It has one of the best counter melodies that responds to the main march theme. Masterpiece.

One of my favorite marches. Thank you.

I thought it was composed for the movie. Did not realized it has had a long history. Love the tune!!

Ahh those were the days!! I wish I could put the uniform back on and have a march around the parade square one last time! Canadian Armoured Corp forever!'🇨🇦

the british army maybe small, but it is disciplined and of high quality. respect, from the usa.

From across the pond. Like a lot of "yanks" I first heard the march as part of the ...River Kwai movie soundtrack, or perhaps a vinyl recording of it. Enjoyed the march and the uniforms of the various regiments and services. Narragansett Bay

I first heard this music in the mid 70s from the movie "Bridge on The River Kwai". And I heard this again and again in the later years in the radios and still I listen whenever I like it. One of my most liked musics.

The most inspiring military marching tune of all time! Cheers to the Allied Forces, that conquered evil & tyranny during WWII.

Like Paul Brennan A member of my family was captured in Singapore in 1942 and was also forced to work on The Death Railway and like his Uncle made it out alive but he would not tell me very much about it although i tried to get him. He was my Father Iam now 70 years old but every time i hear this tune it still brings a tear to my eyes.

The Bridge of River Kwai moment

I was a young kid, when the movie "The Bridge Over The River Kwai" came out. Back then you'd often hear this piece on the radio. One occasion I remember was when the Royal Canadian Air Force band played it next to Grenadier Pond, in High Park, in Toronto.

My great uncle Wells was a Japanese prisoner of war in Singapore and worked on the Death railway 🚂. He was captured on 13 th February 1942 it was the 80 th annerversary last Sunday he's not with us Now one of the lucky men to come home so many thousands died .The far East war is the forgotten war . Always remember him . Like so many service personnel lost over the years .Lest we forget .We shall always remember them .Class tune 🙏👏

The "Colonel Bogey March" is a British marching song that was composed in 1914 by Lieutenant F. J. Ricketts, an army bandmaster who later became the director of music for the Royal Marines at Plymouth in West England.

The Brits do ceremony so very well.

I know this wonderful piece of music is much more associated with the British but I would have loved seeing my son and his fellow U.S. Marines march to this at their boot camp graduation.

Nothing an old soldier loves more than watching younger soldiers, regardless of country, marching to a stirring song. Only one more stirring to this old soldier is one that the damyankees saw fit to ban.

Iconic

Lyrics (if RU-vid will allow!) - there are several variations on this theme: Hitler has only got one ball Goering has two but very small Himmler has something similar And poor old Goebbels Has no balls at all And then there's: Hitler has only got one ball, The other is in the Albert Hall, His mother, the dirty bugger, Cut it off when he was small. She threw it into the apple tree, the wind blew it into the deep blue sea, Where the fishes got out their dishes, And ate scallops and bollocks for tea.

This is proper marching. No dancing and swinging about de place. Precise.

Thata right men!!!! Untouchable.

Great march with a famous tune in the background.

When you realize that almost every American music that you know was actually just token from the British dang America just because you use to part of Britain does not mean you take there music we should come up with orginal stuff no offense America

British: *Used This Song* Usa: *Use It Entirely Even on Movies*

Best inspiring tune in Battle field.

Absolutely magical unison marching!! Fantastic!!! 👏🏽👌🏽👑

THE MOVIE THE BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER QUAI IN THE 60S. THE WORDS WUD NOT BE APORECIATED FROM CONSERVATIVES. ITS JUST A POPULAR SONG N AS I AM SO A UNIFORM WEARER WHO IS A MASTER MARINER TRAINED IN THE U.K. IN THE ROYAL MERCHANT NAVY IN LUVERPOOL. GRATE TO MARCH WITH. WHEN I WAS SQUARE BASHING IN THE A.T.C. ( AIR TRSINING CORPS. IN MY PUBLIC SCHOOL IN CATERHA. SURREY. ❤❤❤😅

Just wonderful... Many thanks!😊

Браво ! Красиво и умно. Музыка западает в сердце. В ней британская Скромность, Достоинство и Гармония.

Yeah yeah! This march is also used by the Indian Army too! I heard this one in the republic day parade.

Most of us who served in HM Forces know a very different version anout ,Hitler,Himmlers and other Nazis

İngilizlerin en iyi marşlarından. Akılda kalıyor ve çıkmıyor

Hitler has only got one ball Göering has two but very small Himmler has something simlar But poor old Goebles has no ball's at all

Salute to all the soldiers who have to fight to preserve peace and at times to lay down their lives!

when it comes to music the BALL is in the british's court

Official march of The Kings Own Calgary Regiment, Royal Canadian Armoured Corps, Canadian Armed Forces!

Is there something you would rather be doing than marching up and down the square?

Commands top line respect from watchers around the world ..fantastic precision and music....

Nazis Germany:WHY I HEARD A BOSS THEME

Love the British military, their tradition, uniforms and music.

The British marching style is "expressive". they swing arms shoulder level, and they chin-up. The American way is "subdued" and easy because they swing their arms 6,3 or 6 inches to the front and 3 inches at the rear(6,3) in lock-elbow; and hey are in chin-in.

Dink-dink, dinkdinkdink, dink-dink-dink!

God bless our wonderful troops always

I was lucky to see the movie, ' Bridge on the River Kwai ' March was made more famous by the Movie

Es una de las mejores marchas del mundo. La marchábamos en cada desfile de inauguración de los campeonatos deportivos del colegio, hace muchos años. Y la recuerdo también con la película EL PUENTE SOBRE EL RÍO KWAI sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial, a pesar de que fue creada en 1914 como tema de la PGM, por el coronel inglés Ricketts. La necesito para fondo musical de un drama que estoy preparando. Quisiera saber si esta marcha tiene derechos de autor. Gracias por la respuesta.

God bless us I love it very beautiful and I enjoy watching this video. I salute you and Congratulations. I invite you to visit Philippines and perform that in front of me. Thank you so much po. From Lani D. Nepomuceno, Philippines

I love this song from when Bridge on the River Kwai came out (I was 4…) But, wow - how many different uniforms does the UK have?

In the 1960s and early 70s you could buy in the UK a car hooter (which I think was made in Italy) that played the first couple of bars of this tune. It is only legal on vehicles first registered before about 1972.

So beautiful!

Love to watch the British march. They have always been so precise. I don't know of any country that rivals their marching style and precision.

My only complaint - and I mean this with every ounce of my arrogant American soul - is "Wh....well..HEY!! Can't this song last longer?! ....and do you think King Chuck will take us back if we ask politely?"

I’m American and our country plays this a lot so we think it’s an American march, but I think we all need to know if it’s British heritage just like we should look at (most) of ours

I made my dog listened to this and he colonized my cat’s sleeping area...

I had a civilian job at a training camp, they even had to march carrying a table

I can remember my Mom and Dad taking me and my brothers as kids to see The Bridge on the River Kwai.....60 odd years ago

hitler has only got one ball, goering has two but very small

I’m a TeXaN I like marching music kids now day miss out big time 👍

The most addictive march tune ever. I came to listen to this only among other marches. I strongly suspect this is tipped with Fantanyl...

Thank you God for the day that the good man will come home in Jesus name amen 🙏

RIVER KWAI, we used to playduring my H/S days when i was a member of drum & bugle corp

Comet! Tastes like gasoline! Comit! Will make you vomit! So get some Comit and Vomit today!

Me encanta esta marcha me recuerda cuan me encontraba de relevo de palcio en palacio de Nariño. La banda del Batallón guardia presidencial

God bless us and thank you so much for sharing this video and I invite you to visit Philippines and perform that in front of me. Thank you so much po. From Lani D. Nepomuceno, Philippines

Me and the boys on the way to build a bridge

This is a great March.

Brilliant

My home town Salisbury was there marching down Blue Boar Road past the old Debenhams . Can't beat the armed forces marching with pride in their Hearts ,

Nobody does it like the British!!

Hitler has only got one ball Göring has two but very small Himmler has something sim’lar But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all Hitler has only got one ball The other is in the Feldherrnhalle His mother, the dirty bugger She shot it off when Hitler was small Hitler has only got one ball Göring has two but very small Himmler has something sim’lar But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all Hitler has only got one ball The other is in the Feldherrnhalle His mother, the dirty bugger She shot it off when Hitler was small She threw it over an apple tree It missed and fell into the North Sea Fishes got out their dishes And had scallops and bollocks for tea Ohhhhhh Hitler has only got one ball Göring has two but very small Himmler has something sim’lar But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all Hitler has only got one ball The other is in the Feldherrnhalle His mother, the dirty bugger She shot it off when Hitler was small Hitler has only got one ball Göring has two but very small Himmler has something sim’lar But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all Hitler has only got one ball The other is in the Feldherrnhalle His mother, the dirty bugger She shot it off when Hitler was small

Ah, the British! Always doing things the opposite way. They drive right, they screw left, and they march with right foot on tempo.

I wish you'd put the marchers in step with the music! :( :( :( :( :(

Great Tune. but.. using looks like Prusian Eagle fot a British march? British Guards marching to Cononel Bogey March? Never ever saw it. Lesser troop did it.

I have visited Japan on a number of occassions and love the country and the people. I am, however, well aware of Japanese history, both good and bad. Many years ago I worked with a gentleman who had served with The Royal Air Force Regiment in Burma. He never talked of what he had experienced but he hated the Japanese with an unbridled passion and would have nothing to do with anything that was made in Japan. RIP Arthur.

I visited the real remaining rebuilt Bridge over river Kwai back in 90s. And marched across the bridge walkway whistling the tune!

long live england

Gruß aus Deutschland!

Canadian here. I love this! My Dad enlisted the day went to war!

Just like my papa. Love it. The general, hahaha. ❤😂... it's just out of liking & respect. I know these guards fight til the death at em never mess with the British you'll ne sorry.

UNFORTUNATELY THE WORDS JUST CANNOT BE SUNG AS FAR TOO RUDE N CRUDE MATEY. LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE. THE TUNE IS SUFFICIENT FOR A WONDERFULL TUNE FOR ANY MARCHING BAND IN ANY COUNTRY. I LOVE IT .ATTENSHUN BY THE LEFT QUICK MARCH N WHISTLE THE TUNE. GREAT. ❤❤❤😅

I learned this tune as a wee lad, but we sang "Comet, it makes your face turn green. Comet, it tastes like gas-o-line. Comet, it makes you vomit, so get some Comet and vomit today."

Hitler he only had one ball..The other one is in the Albert Hall.... little help ❤❤❤❤❤
