According to Ron D Moore it's suppose to be a reference to a Colonial Drilling Cadence. Like in the movies when you see lines of solders jogging down the road
Mama, Mama cant you see?
O, what the Corps has done to me...
They sat me down into a chair,
When I looked I had no hair
O, Mama Mama can't you see?
O what that CO done to me...
He made me march real hard
Then he passed me in his car
Mama Mama can't ya see?
O, what the Corps has done to me....
I used to drive a Chevrollete
but now I march around all day
Mama, Mama can't you see?
O, what the Corps has done to me...
I used to drive a Cadillac
now I'm humping with a pack.
Now, given that explanation from the show's creator I still can't fiqure out how to turn this
"What do you hear Starbuck?"
"Nothing but the Rain Sir."
"Then get your gun and bring the cat in"
"Boom Boom Boom"
Into a Drilling Cadence
