Details
The opening melody for this tune is from a street game we played in South Philly. It was a crazy game with two teams. One team created a bridge by linking their bodies together. The other team took turns trying to topple the bridge. Each kid would get a running start, jump and land on the backs of the kids in the bridge. Before each kid took off running, they would shout: “Buck-Buck number one coming!” It could get brutal and nasty. We generally played it when we were bored or out of ideas.
