Thread Name: thought about yodeling
Subject: RE: thought about yodeling
Kind of like listening to blackbirds, then—a little goes a long way. Pretty soon you wish they'd just get laid already and shut up. But they probably think the same of the rap music incessantly booming from passing cars.

My dog retreats to the farthest corner of the house when I start yodeling—or playing the fiddle. Though I sing one song with a "coyodel" (actually, more of a wolf howl) that used to get him to come up and whine along. Maybe he thought I was in pain. Or keening for a lost pack member. He still gets a little antsy when I sing that one, so my imitation must be unnaturally close.
