LOL! I would also nominate "yankee doddle" as a very great tune with the
same characteristics, with "ol' macdonald" not far behind...

Could this be the reason most militaristic marches have tunes with the same
characteristics, that they are useful in driving people into a murderous
rage? (quick, go kill the enemy and get the job done, then we'll stop the
march, promise...)
