Answer 4

Tune is from American Civil War "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again"

It's actually kind of melancholy if you hear the original song - definitely from a war.  

Answer 5

I agree with Nichole R. We used it as a number teaching exercise for young children.

The Ants Go Marching One By One is a popular children's song of unknown authorship, sung to the tune of the American Civil War song "When Johnny Comes Marching Home".

Another commonly sung children's song is "The Animals go in Two by Two" (based around the Noah's Ark story) sung to the same melody. "The Ants Go Marching" was also the ant army's marching song in the movie Antz.
