You all know that one, right? Not the baseball one which goes “do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do…” but the horse-racing one that goes “bugle bugle bugle bugle” and then everyone yells “CHARGE!” Does that song have a name? Or is it just “The Charge Song”? ---

You do realize, do you not, that there are rather a few different charges, all of which are played on a bugle? I think you’re going to have to be a wee bit more specific. ---

I’m assuming it’s the one from track 10 [here](http://www.amazon.com/Cartoon-Sound-Effects-Various-Artists/dp/B00000I7KZ). But if not: [Sound files of bugle calls.](http://www.fmaalumni.org/bugle_calls.html) ---

[QUOTE=jayjay] Is it the one that goes, “Doodley doo di doo”? [/QUOTE] That’s the one for football and baseball, isn’t it? Usually followed by a loud unison “Go!” ---
