_hep_ vs. _hip_, trivially revisited

[Wilson Gray]

"Hep 2-3-4"

A rockabilly side recorded by George Manis and released in 1959 on the
Eclaire label.

It's probably not a bridge too far to assert that this title is, at
some level, evidence for the claim of the one-time existence of
"_Hep_! Two! Three! Four!" as a form of the military dismounted-drill
cadence-count, with whose existence I am familiar only from a post to
this listserv.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint
to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
