today we battle by yodeling let’s talk about that good mythical morning today is all about yodeling that’s right I said yodeling that amazing vocal technique that overweight men who wear lederhosen doing the Alps I think you will find that you can do it other places and other people of different statues can do it but uh that’s at least how I’m presenting it to you and your response is what what what yo – why not cool guys yo leanness yodel smaadahl you know what you’re wrong yeah have you ever heard of one man named Franz och Lang well I don’t know if you’ve heard of him but have you heard from him got a paintbrush on his head I’m not complaining about it now he’s obviously lip-syncing but this is still amazing this is incredible he’s so happy that’s the greatest thing about it and he’s making those people dinner happy yeah he’s twerking a little bit I could watch that for how world’s greatest yodeler people now a little back back history on yodeling yodeling was invented on The Price is Right a game called cliffhanger will move one step for remember us if you missed the prices I think I know what you’re talking about where you guess the price and then if you over guess it he goes off the cliff you know however many dollars you got wrong by that much he climbs up you don’t want the yodeler to go off the cliff I hate the buster yodeling bubble link that is not the origin of yodeling as much as I would like it to be yodeling started yodeling I want to say it like that when I think Yoda started in the the Alps sheep herders yeah would need to communicate with their sheep and they would need to communicate with each other and you get up on top of a mountain and you just you you want to do something that’s gonna get out there your leg hmm well it’s interesting that if you just hey if you just yell like at the top of your lungs hey that’s not sustainable you’ll do damage B it doesn’t it doesn’t penetrate the Alps in the way that the yodel does it and I think sheep are more responsive to to yodeling okay so but what is actually happening cuz you’ve heard people talk about your chest voice which is down here it seems like it’s reverberating then people caught your head voice which is up here well that those terms came about when people didn’t realize how your voice worked I mean they’re both coming from the same place they’re both coming from your vocal folds but the amount of vocal folds that are vibrating changes and it can change abruptly between a little bit of a vibration to the whole thing vibrating down here and so people who can kind of oscillate between those two very quickly but it’s not the amount of folds it’s like the cord you got the whole core and then it’s just a part of it like it right it slender’s down yeah so the idea is is that you kind of stop you’re going between this high pitch and low pitch but it’s coming from the same place it’s just your vocal folds are kind of changing the way that they are vibrating and it sounds like a break but people who are really good can actually go right up into it without a break but that’s not what yodeling is yodeling is embracing mastering that it’s just like going hmm Oh sounds like a dog actually sounds a little bit like scooby Doo that’s not what I meant to happen like a dog dying but people who can control it and make it be in key in tune in both places and all counts not like a musical instrument like somebody playing a piano in two different places at the same time and that’s what makes it great yo Tarzan was a killer apparently what I guess he was I had thought about it okay now a lot of cowboys started communicating with their cattle for the same reason at least that’s how I understand it which kind of makes its way into music that I’m familiar with here’s what I propose that we do do kind of a we’ll just make this a loose yodel battle first I found a video here from Wiley Gusterson who is going to teach us how to warm up and and understand the principle of yodeling knock knock who’s there a little old lady little a beginning basically all forms of yodeling at least cowboy style of yelling is founded around three notes a triad hey hey t-80 and I like how his head kind of it over to the side with that handkerchief on Casti without it it’s – hey hey hey okay so here here’s what we’re gonna do i’ve rustled up some yodeling songs for us to try to imitate cuz just we could just yodel in a vacuum and what you couldn’t get with you would not be heard you can’t yodel in a thank you oh I didn’t I didn’t take any physics before I’m just gonna play a couple other clips I’m gonna start with Hank Williams let’s see who can imitate Hank Williams mo bettah she Oh on a night oh I’m low okay she’s logo holding long I can’t remember the words anymore blue well dead dog man play one more time okay some blue she’s long gone in what and I do all right next one LeAnn Rimes that’s all ok blue sheet that’s what made leann rimes famous yeah you first mMmmm I can’t sing as ha she did I need to bring it up blue you fail blue I mean that’s good link oh so lonesome okay get over there you go because already there blue you don’t have enough guzzle look at all that guzzle that’s my quitter to use yeah your lips are shaking not good all right because the key is the problem the key is really the problem let me see if there’s the hang Williams one we were pretty good at that now avril lavigne I’m with you there’s a yodel in the break here that’s yodeling yeah it’s your yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I guess it kinda is yeah yeah yeah yeah it was more yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it would help we picked a key well I can’t sing as high as her you’re saying that new Hello Kitty song you’re not as pretty as she is either hello kitty what she what welcome to the Internet you had a jewel I have heard of jewel welcome to her gendell ringing you’re a there’s a CDO hush love it’s haunted that’s the real thing oh yeah I’ll cheer for that dear lady now I want to point out one thing Franz ole has it one of us front teeth is kind of recessed yeah and one of Jule’s teeth is recessed I think I think that might be the key to yodeling is you got to take one of your teeth and you got to push it back like half an inch okay you first I mean that’s the surgical procedure Jesus mr. ringing your lady young lady you’re not your lady she really goes fast yo yo yo yo yo see now you’re just going that’s not your doing I added a little Oh right here look I mean we need good gracious they start doing something strange it’s like Franz Oh Franz will does that nearly you’re late you’re late your lady your lady okay and finally let’s see if we can stack up to takeo a she a Japanese yodeler in Germany with those chicken there are chickens he’s speaking to the chickens kind of beat under there there’s the chickens he is speaking to chickens and yelled who is this man Takai up quite a yodeler I can do that okay so we’re not gonna attempt this because we don’t have chickens I tell you one thing though I wouldn’t have said this before that but there’s something so soothing about about the sound of a yodel that I would like to introduce this introduce this into my regimen my listening in my rotation I wouldn’t call it soothing a genius playlist of this kind of thing I’m not mean I’m not joke it might be a good alarm to wake up to oh thanks for liking and commenting on this video you feel free to let us know who you think won but we were both clearly lacking in the area of yodeling more
