In the introduction to this song we are singing a yodel figure. The tempo is slow and instead of our yodels we are singing words. It is a fun contrast to the wild yodel.

In the audio files, I have begun giving your starting note which in this case is D. You will hear the note and the count in. Take breaths at the the rests when needed.

This section of yodeling has been slowed down by 15 percent to help with practicing. I split this yodel into three parts for ease of practice. When ready, put them all together using the full song files below.
In this opening phrase be sure the yodel is in the front of your mouth and you have good breath support.

Bases on the original German lyrics, these English lyrics are meant to be funny and good humored. The excitement after a "crazy long kiss" is meant to be expressed in the yodel. Enjoy!
