Forget The Darkness ... forget Tiny Tim .... forget The Chipmunks...
Does anyone remember an old (70s) tune called "Sylvia" by a band called
Focus? Mainly instrumental in nature, the ditty features a middle bit
where a guy starts singing "La la la la, la , laaaaa" in a ball-screeching
falsetto. Then he repeats it in a different key. Always made me laugh out
loud every time I heard it. My buddy says that the band also did another
song called "Hocus Pocus" where the singer yodels in a high pitch: the live
version has an extended improvisational yodelling segment.
