I don't know the exact title, of the song, but it was about the Battle of New Orleans.

I'm told there are some other jingles, but The Hymn is obviously the Best!

Altogether now..."From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli, We fight our country's battles in the air, on land and sea. First to fight for right and freedom, and to keep our honor clean; We are proud to claim the title of United States Marine. Our flag's unfurled to every breeze from dawn to setting sun. We have fought in every clime and place, where we could take a gun. In the snow of far off northern lands and in sunny tropic scenes, You will find us always on the job,The United States Marines. Here's health to you and to our Corps which we are proud to serve. In many a strife we've fought for life and never lost our nerve. If the Army and the Navy ever look on heaven's scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines." Semper Fi

No discussion of martial music is complete without the inclusion of the Pipes. Most anything by the Blackwatch will do.

It's not the kind of song to be sung, but the best military march has to be Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever."
