Endless (Instrumental)

This is the third and final song in the Sections of the Band pages from "Leap Into Learning" + "A Collection from the LeapPad Library". (This is the inspiration for "The Wide Wide Ocean" from 'Mario Party' and "Stage Theme 1" from 'Milon's Secret Castle' everytime I hear this song now.)

"Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is a 1908 Tin Pan Alley song by Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer which has become the unofficial anthem of North American baseball, although neither of its authors had attended a game prior to writing the song. The song's chorus is traditionally sung during the middle of the seventh inning (or in doubleheaders, fifth) of a baseball game. Fans are generally encouraged to sing along to this baseball anthem.

Lyrics:
Take me out to the ballgame,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks, 
I don’t care if I'd ever get back.

Let me root, root, root for the home team, 
If they don't win, it's a shame.
For it’s one... two... three strikes, you're out
At the old ballgame!

(Repeat x1)

LeapPad - Leap Into Learning - Take Me Out to the Ball Game (Our Town Band)

Here's another Sousa march, but played with the Super Mario Advance Soundfont. We know this tune in the trio section! I might do this song with the LeapFrog Leap-font (LeapFrog soundfont) also once my friend @integratedsg-ic has finished making the LeapFrog soundfont. 

During Sousa’s brief wartime service in the Navy, he was invited to a luncheon meeting in New York with Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels and Army Lieutenant George Friedlander. Friedlander, of the 306th Field Artillery, asked Sousa to compose a march for that regiment, suggesting that the march be built around an artillery song then known by such names as “The Caisson Song,” “The Caissons Go Rolling Along,” and “The Field Artillery Song.” The song was believed to be quite old, perhaps of Civil War origin, and had not been published; the composer was believed dead.

Sousa liked the song and agreed to use it. He set it in a different key, changed the harmonic structure, refined the melody, gave it a more snappy rhythm, and added this to his own original material. The complete composition was then published as the “U.S. Field Artillery” march.

It came as quite a surprise to Sousa and Lieutenant Friedlander to learn that the composer of “The Caisson Song” was still very much alive and that the song was less than ten years old. It had been written in March, 1908, by Lieutenant Edmund L. Gruber of the U.S. Army Field Artillery at Camp Stotsenburg, Philippine Islands. The piece was composed in the presence of at least two fellow officers who assisted in writing the lyrics. No doubt Lieutenant Gruber was even more surprised to find that his song, much revised, had skyrocketed to fame. He raised no objections to Sousa’s use of the song, which was serving the army’s purpose so admirably.

Lyrics: 
(Instrumental first section)

(Verse I)
Over hill, over dale
We will hit the dusty trail,
And the Caissons go rolling along.
In and out, hear them shout,
Counter march and right about,
And the Caissons go rolling along.

Chorus:
Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery,/Everybody, follow me!
Shout out your numbers loud and strong! (2-3-4!)
For where'er we go,
We will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along. 

(Instrumental interlude)

(Verse II)
In the storm, in the night,
Action left or action right
See those Caissons go rolling along
Limber front, limber rear,
Prepare to mount your cannoneer
And those Caissons go rolling along.

(Repeat Chorus)

Stephanie is my name, music is my game -- welcome to my Merry Musical Museum of Sounds, Songs and Soundfonts! I'm an exciting 30-year-old Korean-American female who is a huge fan of Nostalgic stuff and I am also a musician (with a good musical ear or musical skills) who makes tunes with soundfonts from games and toys, as well as musical mashups and song covers too. I also upload game music (includes LeapFrog LeapPad and My First LeapPad music too) and other songs, with credit to others. I will upload my music, mashups, song covers, rare songs and video game tunes on here when I feel like it. 

My other interests are anime, art, cute things, animated movies and series, and drawing.
