[78-L] Alpine madness

[Malcolm Rockwell]

I see. Now, is the phrase in our collective subconcious because of the 
recording(s) or  because it existed prior to them? Betcha you can't 
think of another yodel phrase as pervasive, with  the possible exception 
of the one in Gene Autry's "Cattle Call"!
