I watched this movie in Mexico City back in 1957. they used to sell the music at the end of the movie; I bought the 45 rpm record and I still have it intact.
I remember this catchy tune on my Dad's Hollywood greats record as a boy, but it's just become more significant, visiting the bridge today, riding part of the railway and also remembering those who were made to build it in unimaginable conditions, having also visited the grave park for them not far from the bridge, thousands of them died. If in Thailand, definately worth a visit.
this reminds me of my grandfather,he was colonel in the army. he used to whistle this all the time. miss him ever still. wish i could here him whistle this one more time.
You must try the game that my friends and I used to play and still sometimes do! Pick a person, and anytime you see that person, whistle this tune. Get the others to do it when they see them to, it work best when there's about 3 or 4 of you. It makes people completely paranoid! We pick this song because it's so catchy, people that don't even know what you're doing will whistle it too! See how mental you can make people by colnel bogeying them, and report back here!
@grahamts5 Yeah, the NZ in ANZAC often gets overlooked. Highest proportional fatalities in WW2 and highest proportional service rate in WW1, for Allies, Axis and Central Powers.
@stevehenry1 - i did watch the movie, probably before you were born. by building that bridge he kept his troops alive longer and yes his brain got warped in that he wanted the bridge to survive. all these men had malaria, dengue fever, parasites and those that went in the "cooler" went half mad. among other things, read A Town Called Alice Springs and another good one - is Land of the Morning by Jean McMurdie. the Japanese had no intention of wasting food on POW's unless they worked.
Popular lyrics to this tune: "Bullshit, that's all the band could play, bullshit, They played it every day, bullshit. Ta-ra-ra, bullshit, ta-ra-ra, bullshit, Ta-ra-ra, ra-ra! "Bullshit, that's all the band could play, bullshit, It makes the grass grow green, bullshit. (Repeat last 2 lines)
comet.. it makes your hair turn green comet.. its made of listerine comet.. will make you vomit so get some comet to vomit today... hahaha brings back good memories..
@stevehenry1 the Colonel was Nicholson, not Bogey. Col Bogey is an old march from before WWI. secondly, it has nothing to do with snubbing the Japanese but keeping his troops alive. if you weren't working for the Japanese, they would just as soon shoot you. we had a family friend captured early in WWII and spent the rest of the war as a 'wharf rat' loading grain on Japanese transport ships and eating dropped rice and rats. i suppose you'd consider him a traitor & Pappy Boyington too.
Shangas.....thanks for the email with the words to "Hitler has only got one ball".....It's hilarious. I have a recommendation for you and all who enjoy "Hitler humor" find Spike Jones on UA-cam and look for "In Der Fuhrers Face" also quite funny. I understand that the little corporal wasn't too thrilled with that one.......but this is only rumor.
Hitler, he only had one ball, Goering, had two but they were small, Himmler, had something similar, And Keitel was too close to call. Rommel, had four or five, I guess, No on, is sure 'bout Rudolf Hess. Schmelling..was always yelling.. And Mister Go-balls had no balls at all.

Dear ostmusicmix: I have done some research - the composer of Colonel Bogey is Kenneth Alford (1881-1945), and not Malcolm Arnold!!!
The whistle is what the Col about whom this march is written used to whistle when playing golf, rather than to yell FORE
Viva el Coronel BOGEY

jijiji es una broma jijijiji
not even close to the truth sam...hell of a movie though
Hitler, he only had one ball,
Goering, had two but they were small,
Himmler, had something similar,
And Keitel was too close to call.
Rommel, had four or five, I guess,
No on, is sure 'bout Rudolf Hess.
Schmelling..was always yelling..
And Mister Go-balls had no balls at all.
tenia q ser gringa la marcha...parece marcha de circo
You've got issues, obviously. Go see a therapist.
