The United States Marine Corps is known the world over to be a bunch of ass-kicking machines. Highly disciplined and when it needs to be destroyed overnight, the Marines are always there to save the day. If you’ve ever seen the USMC Marines Silent Drill Team perform, the discipline and precision these people display should not be a surprise to you.
When it’s time to have fun? The men and women of the U.S.M.C. can put on a show like no other. To celebrate the 238th birthday of the Corps, a group of Marines decided to put on a show their fellow corpsmen would never forget.

So this is our 3rd year doing these knock-down/drag-out Birthday Ball concerts; first it was “Bohemian Rhapsody” then it was “Gangnam Style” and “Thunderstruck”, and now it’s “Thrift Shop” (which we rewrote the lyrics to and called “Cash Sales”) and “Can’t Hold Us.” If you’ve ever been in the military I’m sure you know what Cash Sales is so please listen to the lyrics, they’re pretty clever. Cpl Eric Fisher did an awesome job rewriting the lyrics and SSgt Justin Lienemann pitched in a little bit, and SSgt Josh Lively did a great job putting the whole thing together. Here’s to 238 years of the Marine Corps doing things like no one else. Semper Fidelis!
