This is an interesting wholesome entertainment choice, given that it comes from a naked, chain smoking individual.  |

C'mon Benjamin, we know you're secretly a yodeler fan..lol. I have to admit, this scene where Laurel and Hardy start dancing is very funny.

Good one, Elizabeth! That comment really had me laughing  Benjamin, your board is the envy of other rapture board members for that very reason ... no walking on eggshells here. Besides, how could you not enjoy the Swiss version of the Osmond family?  Edit: I just learned that this family (and the one unrelated "squeezebox" player) has 2 gold albums and 1 platinum ... and they still hold their day jobs: Mother: Nurse Father: Postal worker Brothers: HVAC techs Friend: Cable Car mechanic The daughter is the only one who isn't working a day job, apparently she's turned down offers for a solo career. And that's the story of Oesch's Die Dritten in a nutshell |

Jim...Sat down with my coffee to listen... I liked it...put the volume up (my mistake), then they started the Yodeling, spit coffee all over my computer, jumped up and started running around in circles, took a tranquilizer to calm down.
Reminded me so much of my Cultural Music...so here it is. LOL!!!

LOL...I hope your computer survives ... along with your nerves That was quite entertaining, Morningstar. This may sound odd, but I honestly thought they were going to start playing "Angel of the Morning" in the beginning ...LOL I was thinking to myself, "Hey, I know this song" ... uh, no I didn't  The synchronized fiddle playing was quite impressive ... those guys are good! I didn't know the harp was an instrument used by Mariachi bands. I was quite close with a very ethnic Mexican family and never saw that before. |

Yeah, my computer is now nice and clean..LOL
Mariachi Camperos, are considered to be one of the best (if not the best) in the Southwest USA. They've been around for over fifty years..and I agree they are superb.

The only acceptable yodeling song is by Rodgers and Hammerstein.

Hahahaha...you know, I must be the only person in the world that could never make it through "The Sound of Music". I even fell asleep as a kid in the theater on it. I have tried. Really! I have tried time and time again! But...........  |

Benjamin, you can't give naked, smokin' baby a lifetime ban. Without this forum, I fear he may resort to hanging around pool halls. . . right here in River City. (Couldn't resist, I know how fond you as fond of musicals) Shiloh, I would have watched The Sound of Music a hundred times, were I allowed. I loved that show, and fascinated by the nuns, and what they believed. This was the first time I heard of adults talking about God, even though they didn't say much, and it had a big effect on me. I loved the goatherd scene that Becka posted, I wished the actual puppet show was shown, but because of copyright that's probably not allowed. I came away from the Sound of Music wanting to be a Catholic Puppeteer.  |

ELIZABETH! Get ahold of yourself, dear woman! A Catholic Puppeteer?...hahahahahaahaaa.
Were you banned from watching that movie? Did kids really act that way (as they did in the movie) and does anyone REALLY go yodelling on hills? Maybe so...but oddly, I know a lot of the songs from that musical. My favourite is...Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens..." Yet, I can only handle that for so long.
I believe I've just earned myself a lifetime ban with this one below:

To the site? No... this site is all about freedom of expression.
It's the whole human race that yodeling is an embarrassment to.

I've always loved Sound of Music! Of course, I think I was fascinated as a kid because my mom swooned over Christopher Plummer every time it was on.  I appreciate the movie now for its own merit - Julie Andrews was wonderful in it. There is a certain "fantasy" about it, an "innocence", I guess you'd say, until the Nazis come - I was always sad by the end that things would never the "same" for the Von Trapp family. |

Shiloh, you are really skating close to the edge. I'm really laughing, what a find Mr. Der Jodel-Peppi is.
Maybe Rapture Forum will get a following over in Germany and Switzerland. We'll become known as the Yodelling Rapture Forum, where the art form is truly appreciated. Next we'll consider what we can do for auctioneers, rhyming poets, throat singers, mimes, and other under appreciated art forms.

There's nothing you can do for rhyming poets.
They're a lost cause.

That is not true, Benjamin. The hymns are some of the world's greatest rhyming poetry - and bonus! - they're about Christ. Game. Set. And match. If you don't like the hymns, then:  |

As a former 1st grade teacher, I have Green Eggs and Ham memorized - I've listened to it so many times in reading group. It's one of the classics :-)

That is not true, Benjamin. The hymns are some of the world's greatest rhyming poetry - and bonus! - they're about Christ. Lyrics are entirely different. They're musical, and actually depend on the rhyme as part of the overall scheme. Bad poetry is different. I don't have an issue with rhyme, where it's used with intent. It's where it is being used because people don't know any better, or they're just using it because they think poetry is supposed to rhyme, that I have a problem. |
