Yodelling: C/D

Message Bookmarked

I've got Radio 2 on, and they've just played Frank Ifield "She Taught Me How to Yodel". I've always sort of pretended yodelling didn't exist, but what's the consensus?

A neat thing to be able to do.
OR
Annoying and horrible.

When done for smarmy, show-offy effect, dud. When done for the sheer exuberance of it, classic.

Yodelling down the valley?

Yodelling in country music (see also Patsy Montana, etc.) : classic.

Yeah, yodelling in general is pretty awesome.

what's the point anyways? to comfort lonely goatherds? or is it just to be different? i think yodelers are just trying to be different.

I think it's how humans can communicate with beings that exist in different temporal planes.

"Some people say that Jimmie Rodgers would just yodel whenever he couldn't think of any words, but I believe that the yodel would express his true emotions better than any lyrics could."

I LOVE YODELING, even when done poorly by people who've imbibed too much Rebel Yell. Not that I know anything about that.

I like it in the first single of Gwen Stefani's new album.

Kills invading Martians.
