Have you ever wondered where and how yodeling began?


Most believe it originated in Switzerland.
Actually it did and here's how it all began...

Many years ago a man was traveling through the
mountains of Switzerland.
Nightfall was rapidly approaching and he had nowhere
to sleep. He went up to a farmhouse and asked the
farmer if he could spend the night. The farmer told him that he
could sleep in the barn.
As the story goes, the farmer's daughter came down
from upstairs and asked her father, "Who is that man going
into the barn?"
"That's some fellow traveling through," said the
farmer. "He needs a place to stay for the night, so I said he
could sleep in the barn."
The daughter said, "Perhaps he is hungry." So she
prepared him a plate of food and took it out to the barn. About
an hour later, the daughter returned. Her clothing
disheveled and straw in her hair. Straight up to bed she went.

The farmer's wife was very observant. She then
suggested that perhaps the man was thirsty. So she
fetched a bottle of wine, took it out to the barn, and she too did not
return for an hour. Her clothing was askew, her blouse
buttoned incorrectly and her hair all messed up. She
also headed straight to bed.
The next morning at sunrise the man in the barn got up
and continued on his journey, waving to the farmer as
he left.
When the daughter awoke and learned that the visitor
was gone, she broke into tears. "How could he leave without even
saying good-bye", she cried. "We made such passionate
love last night!"
"What?" shouted the father as he angrily ran out of
the house looking for the man, who by now was halfway up
the mountain.
The farmer screamed up at him, "I'm going to get you!
You had sex with my daughter!"
The man looked back down from the mountainside, cupped
his hand next to his mouth, and yelled out,


"ILAIDTHEOLADEETOO."

That is the beginning of the yodel.
