Don't know it, but have had a taste for yodeling and other odd 
vocalizations for a long time.  One of my favorites is the DeZurick 
Sisters, "The Cackle Sisters," a country duet who yodeled in harmony and 
did amazing arrangements during the 1930s.  French Canadians picked up 
the yodel as well.  Singing using falsetto some of the time is probably 
universal; it is, interestingly, part of Hawaiian traditional singing. 
The trick of going back and forth over the break in the voice seems 
almost inevitably attractive.
