Absolutely, SPC Mark Beard! The SFTG instructors at Camp Mackall made us come to attention and sing it every morning on the days we were in a classroom setting! April-May, 1970. The song was a number one hit in 1966.

I remember seeing the commercials for a music track with him singing it wearing the uniform and green beret. I have the song some where.

I remember hearing this song in the 1970s when I was still single digits old, but in the early 80s as I was entering my teens I saw the movie at the 'Club with my Armor/Cavalry Father.
Of course I bought the movie as soon as I could (VHS) and then introduced it to my wife and soon to my kids!

It was my favorite song when it came out while I was in Vietnam. All us guys that were Airborne used to sing it to drive the legs crazy. (-:
