WHO ME?


Ever since I turned sixty . . .
YIKES!
It hurts to even write that . . .
I’ve been obsessed with a stupid song playing in my head.
Actually, it’s not a song . . .
It’s a yodel.
I really don’t know  . . .
Are there yodel songs?
Or is yodeling just yodeling?
I can’t say I know of any yodel songs . . .
I just know what sound I use to make as a kid.
So of course I had to Google it.
Well, I have now heard on YouTube  . . .
A Korean yodel . . .
A 92-year-old woman yodel . . .
A 7-year-old girl yodel  on America’s Got Talent. . .
Jewel yodel . . .
Someone named Bonnie who teaches yodeling.
And a few more.
Seems there always the same refrain of
Yo de lei he,  Yo de lei he, Yo de lei he hoo.
And please feel free to correct my spelling . . .
There were many versions, believe me.
Anyway . . .
As I said, . . .
Since my birthday several months ago . . .
All I keep hearing is my own yodel version of . . .
Old lady, Old lady, Old lady who?
Someone!
Please stop the music!

Always, Em-Musing
