Non-Military Examples Of "Everywhere We Go/People Want To Know"

Edited by Azizi Powell

UPDATE: Nov. 20. 2022

This pancocojams post showcases four non-military examples of "Everywhere We Go". These examples are from an American movie, an American commercial, an American camp, an Italian football (soccer) game, and an English football (soccer) football game.

PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
My guess is that military examples and non-military examples the cadence/chant "Everywhere We Go" is a brief clip of two line from the Army cadence "Army Goes Rolling Along".  that were adapted into a call and response format.

Here's some information about that cadence from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Army_Goes_Rolling_Along
 "The Army Goes Rolling Along" is the official song of the United States Army[1] and is typically called "The Army Song". It is adapted from an earlier work titled the "U.S. Field Artillery March".

[...]
"Also known as   "The Army Song"

Lyrics     Harold W. Arberg, November 1956

Music    John Philip Sousa, 1917

[...]

Lyrics
The following lyrics are to "The Army Goes Rolling Along." This is the current official version, dating to 1956. As of May 8, 2013, only the first verse, the chorus, and refrain are sung.

Verse:

March along, sing our song, with the Army of the free
Count the brave, count the true, who have fought to victory
We're the Army and proud of our name
We're the Army and proudly proclaim

First Chorus:

First to fight for the right,
And to build the Nation’s might,
And The Army Goes Rolling Along
Proud of all we have done,
Fighting 'til the battle’s won,
And the Army Goes Rolling Along.

Refrain:

Then it's Hi! Hi! Hey!
The Army's on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong
For where e’er we go,
You will always know
That The Army Goes Rolling Along."...

This is just part of that song. I added italics for the "everywhere we go" lyrics.

EXAMPLE ADDED Nov. 20, 2022
Notice that the lyrics (but not the tune) for the first part of this Italian chant is probably lifted from the American cadence "Everywhere We Go/People Want To Know".

comment by ClaudeMagicbox, 2022
"One of the most impressing chants in Italian football, has been constantly performed in 100% of INTERNAZIONALE Milano matches both home and away since 1988 (34 years straight):

IN OGNI POSTO CHE ANDIAMO (Everywhere we go)

...

LA GENTE VUOL SAPERE (People want to know)

...

CHI NOI SIAMO (Who we are)

...

GLIELO DICIAMO (We will tell them)

...

CHI NOI SIAMO! (Who we are!)

(Mani in aria - hands in the air)

SIAMO L'ARMATA NEROAZZURRA E MAI NESSUN CI FERMERÀ (We are the Black&Blue Armada and nobody will ever stop us)

NOI SAREMO SEMPRE QUA, QUANDO L'INTER GIOCHERÀ (We will always be here when Inter will play)

PERCHÉ L'INTER È LA SQUADRA DEGLI ULTRÀ (because Inter is the team of the Ultras)

NERAZZURRO È IL COLORE CHE AMIAMO (Black&Blue are the colors we love)

NERAZZURRO SEI TUTTO PER NOI (Black&Blue are everything for us)

A SANSIRO, IN ITALIA E IN EUROPA (In SanSiro, in Italy and in Europe)

SEI LA FEDE DI NOI TUOI ULTRAS! (You are the Faith of us your Ultras!)

(battimano - hand clapping)

OHOHOOOOHOHOOOOOOHOHOHOOOOOO

I added italics to highlight the portion of this chant that I believe comes from the American cadence/chant "Everywhere We Go/People Want To Know".

Military cadences used for most non-military purposes are called "chants". This chant begins at .059

This video included Portuguese subtitles on the screen. Here are those words:

Portuguese subtitles from that video:
cinco, seis,
cinco, seis, sete, oito!
Aonde quer que vamos
Sempre nos perguntam
Quem somos
Entao respondemos
Somos os Titas
Os poderosas Titas
-snip-
Here's the English language translation:
[One person counts down to the beginning of the chant]*
5,6,
5, 6, 7, 8
Everywhere we go
People wanna know
Who we are
So we tell them
We are the Titans

Mighty Mighty Titans
Ooh ah Oh yeah
Ooh ah oh yeah

[repeat the entire chant a number of times]

*These chants often begin with counting down numbers. This is one way of ensuring that everyone starts chanting & moving [if there is an accompanying routine] at the same time.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remember_the_Titans
"Remember the Titans is a 2000 American sports film produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Boaz Yakin. The plot was conceived from a screenplay written by Gregory Allen Howard. The film is based on the true story of African American coach Herman Boone portrayed by Denzel Washington, as he tries to introduce a racially divided team at the T. C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia during the early 1970s."

Example #3: Everywhere We Go

Fun Camp song complete with Kazoos!
-snip-
Transcription*
Everywhere we go
People always ask us
Who we are
Where do we come from
We always tell them
We come from Wilbur Herrlich**
And if they can’t hear us
We shout a little louder.

[continue from the beginning, each time getting louder]
-snip-
*Transcription by Azizi Powell

**Substitute the name of your city or camp, or school or other group
Some versions add the line “and we can’t be prouder” after this line

Note: Some versions of "Everywhere we go", after the line "We come from ___", this line is added "and we can’t be prouder”.
Also note that some versions of "Everywhere we go" end with the line “If they can’t hear us, they must be Deaf. However, I think that reference is insensitive. Instead of that line, my suggestion is that at the end of the last & loudest rendition, the group can yell “YEAH!

Example #4: Everywhere We Go', Barmy Army, 5th day/5th Ashes Test, SCG 2011, recorded in the crowd.

Play this very LOUD and scare the neighbours. My best recording of the Barmy Army singing 'Everywhere We Go', final day of 5th Test @ SCG, Sydney, Australia, Ashes tour 2010-2011. This was about an hour before England cleaned up the last 3 wkts to win the Test by an innings, and make the final score England 3, Australia 1. Also see my channel to watch the 'Moment of Victory' with the Last Post playing when the final wicket falls and the Barmy Army chants '3-0 to the Ingerland'.

Here the words to that chant:
