Hipster goes yodel... We follow the philosophy student and yodeler Polkabjørn on his way to the ultimate yodel experiences, and to success. He and his musical companion ”Kleine Heine” take their yodel act from the narrow fjords of Norway to huge stadium concerts, the world’s leading throat expert, the Faroe Islands, Texas and Germany. We meet their enthusiastic manager, a male stripper and one of the biggest yodel fans on earth.
Why are they doing this? Do they really like it? And will ”Polkabjørn” ever meet ”Der Jodlerkönig”, his big yodel hero?

Here in the flat Netherlands we find one of the
world's leading yodel experts.
00:02:06.529 --> 00:02:07.949
What is yodelling?
00:02:07.999 --> 00:02:12.960
That movement of the voice
from, from chest voice to head
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:19.589
voice and accenting that little jump that
occurs.
00:02:19.600 --> 00:02:26.110
Uh So it's a kind of fetishistic development of
that uh that little leap between the high and
00:02:26.119 --> 00:02:29.779
the low.
While most western singers and pop singers try
00:02:29.789 --> 00:02:32.630
to eliminate that or smooth it over
00:03:38.449 --> 00:03:42.399
The king of yodeling, Franzl Lang,
is a great inspiration for Polkabjørn.
00:04:05.070 --> 00:04:10.240
Apart from the yodeling Bjørn's life is balanced
between philosophy and billiards.
00:05:22.999 --> 00:05:24.859
The highly respected
doctor Jean Abitbol
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:32.179
has had many big movie stars and
pop singers as patients..
00:05:32.190 --> 00:05:34.700
Today, the throat specialist gets
a visit from an excited Polkabjørn.
00:05:36.809 --> 00:05:38.579
You are the singer?
Yes, good.
00:05:39.309 --> 00:05:42.040
- I am the doctor.
- Bjørn, nice to meet you, sir.
00:05:42.329 --> 00:05:43.649
Come on.
00:05:45.649 --> 00:05:49.999
What we have here is
something like a voice lab.
00:05:49.999 --> 00:05:53.940
And here we have,
we have about four cameras.
00:05:53.941 --> 00:05:57.440
With this, I will see on your vocal chords
when you do an E, how it is.
00:05:57.450 --> 00:06:02.119
When you do a high pitch,
then we'll see how it's working.
00:06:02.130 --> 00:06:06.070
Which is very interesting because
I never did this before on yodeling,
00:06:06.309 --> 00:06:08.209
so it's gonna be interesting for me.
00:06:08.640 --> 00:06:10.890
Don't move, don't move.
00:06:11.790 --> 00:06:13.999
No, no, relax the nose.
Relax the nose.
00:06:15.850 --> 00:06:17.999
Just relax the nose.
00:06:18.670 --> 00:06:20.000
Very good.
Very, very good.
00:06:20.010 --> 00:06:22.549
Don't move, don't move,
don't move, don't move, just relax.
00:06:22.559 --> 00:06:24.980
Just relax the nose.
Breathe by the nose now.
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:26.380
Very good.
00:06:26.890 --> 00:06:32.220
Now you can sing, take your microphone,
the mic, good, as you used to do.
00:06:42.999 --> 00:06:46.679
Swallow.
Now, swallow one more time.
00:06:47.550 --> 00:06:50.000
Now, yodelling
00:07:07.820 --> 00:07:10.880
You can say three interesting thing.
00:07:11.100 --> 00:07:15.999
First of all, you have a very good
vibrations on both sides,
00:07:15.999 --> 00:07:18.999
which is completely symmetrical.
00:07:18.999 --> 00:07:21.109
Go ahead, ahhhh....
00:07:21.999 --> 00:07:24.999
Breathe...breathe, breathe
breathe, breathe.
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:31.850
Second, the fact that it's a good vibration,
you have a very good synchronization between
00:07:31.859 --> 00:07:38.640
the breathing, the vibrations and the vocal
track about the resonance chamber
00:07:38.980 --> 00:07:45.899
You do it in a very nice harmony
of the three things.
00:07:46.999 --> 00:07:50.940
And what is very interesting
in your case that I really like,
00:07:51.350 --> 00:07:55.410
this is after three seconds,
only, look, 3.40 seconds.
00:07:55.420 --> 00:07:58.179
Now, now the muscles, how big it is.
00:07:58.859 --> 00:08:05.480
And the third, which for me is the most
interesting for me, that you are able,
00:08:05.489 --> 00:08:09.329
in three seconds, we have seen here,
to make your vocal muscle
00:08:09.339 --> 00:08:15.649
to guard and to have a very good
structure to be able to go very strong.
00:08:16.420 --> 00:08:19.559
I don't know you,
but I know you must have
00:08:19.570 --> 00:08:20.730
a very large register.
00:08:48.899 --> 00:08:50.999
Heine Bugge,
alias Kleine Heine,
00:08:50.999 --> 00:08:52.999
is the other member
of the yodel and polka duo.
00:10:57.570 --> 00:11:00.580
Bjørn and Heine also have a third
member of the yodel team.
00:11:01.219 --> 00:11:02.390
Bjørn's best friend, Hallvar.
00:12:16.710 --> 00:12:21.750
When Hallvar is not working with Bjørn & Heiner,
he uses his voice at the opera in Copenhagen.
00:12:36.890 --> 00:12:39.020
♪ So be it ♪
00:12:44.179 --> 00:12:49.070
♪ May God have mercy upon me ♪
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:57.020
In the 1800s, in the 19th century,
you had a bunch of, um,
00:12:57.030 --> 00:13:03.359
opera stars who, I don't know if it was
out of boredom or out of just trying to have
00:13:03.369 --> 00:13:08.999
some fun, uh, you know, they,
they would perform their operas,
00:13:08.999 --> 00:13:14.999
but they also perform for popular audiences,
and sometimes they would throw in a yodel.
00:13:14.999 --> 00:13:19.369
It tests your lungs and it tests your
vocal chords and not everybody can do it.
00:13:19.380 --> 00:13:22.049
And so they wanted to prove
they can do it, I think.
00:14:09.340 --> 00:14:16.299
The yodel itself creates a kind of festive
atmosphere in a lot of ways because
00:14:16.309 --> 00:14:22.880
it is such an unusual vocalization that
the people just almost start
00:14:22.890 --> 00:14:29.309
laughing because it's something so strange, you
know, like in a scary movie when it's so scary,
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:34.090
you start to laugh.
00:17:25.619 --> 00:17:28.001
I put on, let's see.
What's their names?
00:17:30.999 --> 00:17:34.001
It's Polkabjørn & Kleine Heine, right?
00:17:35.189 --> 00:17:36.109
Yeah.
00:17:37.999 --> 00:17:41.001
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, let's wait here.
00:17:41.449 --> 00:17:48.410
Uh, this is "Wreck this Mess," and you know
that sometimes days come along
00:17:48.420 --> 00:17:50.839
when it's yodeling time again.
00:17:51.579 --> 00:17:56.270
Bart Plantenga is one of the world's leading
experts on yodeling and the history of yodeling.
00:17:58.900 --> 00:18:03.089
In addition to his radio show, he's also
written the book which is considered to be
00:18:03.099 --> 00:18:04.280
the Bible of yodeling.
00:18:05.900 --> 00:18:12.300
If you said this to me 15 years ago, I would
have said you are crazy that I would ever.
00:18:12.310 --> 00:18:13.999
write a book about this, you know.
00:18:14.999 --> 00:18:19.899
And, uh, it just, it gained a life of its own,
00:18:19.900 --> 00:18:26.100
the book itself and the subject,
because the subject itself
00:18:26.101 --> 00:18:32.999
is so crazy or unusual or everybody
has their own idea about it,
00:18:32.999 --> 00:18:38.229
that the BBC, public radio
here in the Netherlands,
00:18:38.239 --> 00:18:42.410
the newspapers are all interested,
on some level, in the subject.
00:18:43.390 --> 00:18:44.999
♪ Chime bell ♪
00:18:44.999 --> 00:18:48.209
However, there are also those
who have yodeling
00:18:48.209 --> 00:18:51.949
in their blood,
like 77 year old Janet McBride.
00:18:56.310 --> 00:19:00.001
Bart, we love it.
There's "Yodel-Ay-Ee-Oooo."
00:19:02.389 --> 00:19:06.999
- You've got two copies.
- Oh, I buy 'em...
00:19:08.999 --> 00:19:11.390
...when I can get them
at a decent price.
00:19:13.540 --> 00:19:17.719
Anyone will tell you if you're gonna
be in the music business,
00:19:17.729 --> 00:19:24.430
yodeling is kind of like a word that they, they
want you to forget it of your vocabulary.
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:27.750
Janet has been on the barricades
for more than 50 years,
00:19:31.849 --> 00:19:34.729
and now she's teaching new generations of
yodelers.
00:19:35.410 --> 00:19:42.310
All of them I've worked with on yodeling,
which is why I end up getting awards,
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.520
becuase of the kids I've worked with,
you know, they gotta learn timing,
00:19:45.530 --> 00:19:47.730
they gotta learn their words.
There's a lot.
00:20:32.479 --> 00:20:38.280
Every yodeler who has had to tell news
reporters or journalists, endless times,
00:20:38.290 --> 00:20:39.609
"So where do you yodel?"
00:20:39.910 --> 00:20:44.119
You have to come up with a humorous answer.
Most people say, "I do it in the shower."
00:20:44.229 --> 00:20:48.959
"I do it when nobody is at home."
"I do it in my car on my way to work
00:20:48.969 --> 00:20:55.630
"becuase then nobody hears me doing it."
The idea is that you want to be polite
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:59.160
and discreet and not bother people
with your horrendous yodeling.
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:03.930
You have to practice to be a good
yodeler, and, uh, in my case,
00:21:03.939 --> 00:21:08.829
I had the fields and the woods when I was a kid,
lived in the state of Maine when I learned
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:12.170
to yodel, and I was just able
to go out and yell, you know?
00:21:12.180 --> 00:21:17.369
As Patsy Montana used to say,
"You go out and holler."
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:19.599
you learn
00:21:32.949 --> 00:21:36.709
so you call it correct
00:21:52.679 --> 00:21:54.999
It may be true to a certain extent.
00:21:54.999 --> 00:21:56.270
But I, I don't know.
00:21:56.280 --> 00:22:03.050
Is somebody playing tuba next door to you,
or a violin, the first times you hear...
00:22:03.060 --> 00:22:05.390
Is that much better?
I don't think so.
00:22:29.080 --> 00:22:32.180
At a gig three years ago,
things started to happen.
00:22:32.619 --> 00:22:35.339
Something that would take the yodeling
to a new level.
00:23:33.449 --> 00:23:38.209
But what's most important about Arne Svare
might not be his passion for machines
00:23:38.219 --> 00:23:39.369
and agricultural equipment.
00:23:44.020 --> 00:23:47.680
Arne is one of the leading managers
in Norway, and his company
00:23:47.689 --> 00:23:50.839
Stageway has many of the country's
most famous artists.
00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:18.140
Norway is too small.
00:25:18.969 --> 00:25:23.199
The world is waiting, and Arne
wants the band to go international.
00:25:23.719 --> 00:25:28.560
- It's getting exciting, no?
- And now they're cutting the bull.
00:25:28.579 --> 00:25:29.849
Look at this, look at this.
00:25:33.369 --> 00:25:34.670
It's early morning in Berlin.
00:25:35.630 --> 00:25:38.520
Heine and his girlfriend are
getting ready for departure.
00:26:08.579 --> 00:26:12.900
in Gøta on the Faroe Islands, people get
ready for the summer's big event,
00:26:14.540 --> 00:26:15.689
the G! Festival.
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:32.040
Heine's second homeland
welcomed the duo with open arms.
00:30:30.650 --> 00:30:33.310
The manager wants the band's image
to be clearer.
00:30:36.300 --> 00:30:40.920
They need new press photos, and Bjørn
gets to decide the look they're aiming for.
00:30:42.520 --> 00:30:49.500
Handicrafts are central and it can't hurt
to use a stripper.
00:31:07.530 --> 00:31:13.890
Laughter would be helpful for yodelers
is because they need to
00:31:14.140 --> 00:31:15.369
protect themselves.
00:31:15.709 --> 00:31:20.920
When you yodel you have to be ready,
maybe for a bad reaction,
00:31:20.930 --> 00:31:28.999
but if you can put it in a framework of humor,
it may be an easier way to yodel in public.
00:31:28.999 --> 00:31:31.150
And I see this in a lot
of modern yodelers.
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:35.999
Sometimes it can be
really technically good,
00:31:35.999 --> 00:31:38.999
just as good as Franzel Lang sometimes,
00:31:39.104 --> 00:31:45.004
and, or, but, it has a
humorous side to it.
00:31:45.005 --> 00:31:51.009
Like, "I'm really good at this,
but I don't really mean it," you know.
00:34:32.459 --> 00:34:33.999
Manager Arne has got Polkabjørn
& Kleine Heine
00:34:37.060 --> 00:34:40.350
a support band for a-ha
on their entire farewell tour.
00:35:09.669 --> 00:35:14.080
possibly.
Oh, what?
00:35:21.090 --> 00:35:23.719
Stand by, as soon as we fade out again,
you're good to go, yeah.
00:35:24.179 --> 00:35:25.999
Any time, any time, sir.
00:35:31.899 --> 00:35:33.590
OK guys, take it away please.
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:36.799
Come on, guys!
00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:53.110
Good evening, Oslo.
Are you OK?
00:35:54.799 --> 00:35:56.201
Wave if you can hear me.
00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:03.299
Bjørn is from Tomrefjord,
and he has brought a friend.
00:36:03.299 --> 00:36:04.909
We always bring a friend,
00:36:04.909 --> 00:36:11.840
not necessarily to bring him on stage,
but to give him a hotel room
00:36:11.850 --> 00:36:14.179
and bring him out to
drink a little bit with us.
00:36:15.379 --> 00:36:21.001
And this time it was an old schoolmate,
and he's called Hallvar,
00:36:21.001 --> 00:36:24.899
and he would like to sing the
third voice on the next song.
00:36:25.409 --> 00:36:26.410
Here we go.
00:36:29.001 --> 00:36:32.000
(singing in three part harmony)
00:36:50.999 --> 00:36:53.399
(singing becomes yodeling)
00:37:39.999 --> 00:37:44.260
A quite big hit in 1942.
Here we go, sing along if you know it.
00:38:01.570 --> 00:38:04.699
In the wake of their success with a-ha,
the duo now go on their own tour.
00:38:06.949 --> 00:38:09.570
Arne thinks they're now ready
to take the next step.
00:38:10.120 --> 00:38:13.879
Polkabjørn & Kleine Heine have to make
their first yodel hit.
00:38:15.050 --> 00:38:19.130

With the song
"I Like To Ski" in their luggage,
00:39:21.639 --> 00:39:23.889
Arne sends Bjørn and Heine
to a studio.
00:40:08.620 --> 00:40:12.820

on its core audience.

In between it all,
00:42:07.659 --> 00:42:11.510
Bjørn sometimes goes up to the mountains
to read philosophy in Arne's cabin.
00:43:27.310 --> 00:43:31.800
However, there are places in the world where
no-one knows who Bjørn and Heine are.
00:43:34.550 --> 00:43:38.639
In Milwaukee. a young man embarks
on a 27 hour long ride
00:43:38.649 --> 00:43:40.689
to the biggest music festival
in the world:
00:43:41.229 --> 00:43:44.139
South x Southwest, in Austin, Texas.
00:43:45.850 --> 00:43:48.179
His name is Joe Commins.
00:44:44.270 --> 00:44:47.879
After two days on his bike,
the American yodel enthusiast,
00:44:48.020 --> 00:44:51.840
Joe, is finally meeting his spiritual
kinsman from Norway.
00:45:01.979 --> 00:45:04.770
- Hey, hi, Hein.
Joe, nice to meet you.
00:45:05.580 --> 00:45:06.629
Hey, Bjørn, how's it going?
00:45:08.010 --> 00:45:09.939
Yeah, it's been, it's been
a few years coming, huh?
00:45:11.379 --> 00:45:16.389
It was pretty fun, I was, I was
yodeling the whole way down for,
00:45:17.050 --> 00:45:20.264
for like, the two days I,
I was hoarse all yesterday.
00:45:20.274 --> 00:45:21.959
I was like, man,
I better stop yodeling.
00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:22.960
You want a beer?
00:45:23.455 --> 00:45:24.395
Yeah, sure.
00:45:24.405 --> 00:45:28.074
Really excited to meet you guys.
It's been such a long time coming.
00:45:28.084 --> 00:45:32.965
I just have like a
small one with me, but.
00:45:33.024 --> 00:45:38.395
I need to, like, learn your,
uh...your set list.
00:45:38.875 --> 00:45:41.544
So we do the first one hour,
00:45:41.554 --> 00:45:44.084
just you and I, and then
we do one hour Bjørn and I.
00:46:16.999 --> 00:46:21.820
More than anything, Joe likes to talk
about the King of Yodeling, Franzl Lang.
00:46:22.810 --> 00:46:25.859
- All the time.
- Have you guys heard, um...
00:46:27.969 --> 00:46:29.959
Do you, have you ever
heard his first record?
00:46:29.969 --> 00:46:32.659
Like, "Der Königsjodler,"
the LP album?
00:46:33.030 --> 00:46:35.770
Oh my god,
you guys are missing out.
00:46:35.770 --> 00:46:39.999
Whenever I can, I'm always say,
hey, you ever heard this song?
00:46:36.379 --> 00:46:42.800
I'm, like, always telling people,
and they probably hate it.
00:46:42.810 --> 00:46:48.000
But you know, I spent so much money
on Franzl Lang-related stuff.
00:46:48.010 --> 00:46:52.999
It's crazy, like, all these records,
I got, like, four of the same records.
00:46:54.999 --> 00:46:55.999
Wait, no, this isn't...
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:04.008
This is, like,
"She Taught Me To Yodel," sort of.
00:47:04.899 --> 00:47:07.530
Finally, Bjørn has met someone
who knows more
00:47:07.540 --> 00:47:09.080
about Franzl than himself.
00:47:09.959 --> 00:47:12.999
Joe has even been to Munich
to find Franzl...
00:47:15.899 --> 00:47:17.009
...and he succeeded.
00:47:17.989 --> 00:47:20.790
Yeah...here we go.
00:47:20.850 --> 00:47:23.080
I thought that was his house,
because I'm like, you know,
00:47:23.090 --> 00:47:26.070
famous yodeler lives in a big old house,
but this is across the street.
00:47:26.320 --> 00:47:27.949
This is the garage here.
00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:31.530
I'm, like, totally a stalker.
But, uh, I saw his,
00:47:31.540 --> 00:47:35.939
his Mercedes van and it said,
it had his license plate and I was like,
00:47:36.179 --> 00:47:42.290
that must be Franzl Lang,
I found his house.
00:47:42.300 --> 00:47:45.149
It says "birthday" and "FL," so.
00:47:57.780 --> 00:47:59.570
I'm so excited they're gonna be here.
00:47:59.580 --> 00:48:01.969
I'm so excited they're gonna
be at the barn dance.
00:48:02.030 --> 00:48:06.540
I looked them up on the web and I know that
they're going to be outrageous fun
00:48:06.550 --> 00:48:10.489
for our crowd because our crowd likes to dance.
That's why it's called the Barn Dance.
00:48:10.790 --> 00:48:16.750
And we've got a wooden dance floor,
and we like things pretty, um,
00:48:17.889 --> 00:48:24.870
eclectic.
00:48:24.879 --> 00:48:26.999
Joe will be performing
with Bjørn and Heine,
00:48:27.605 --> 00:48:29.999
and he's wearing lederhosen
for the occasion.
00:48:47.659 --> 00:48:49.949
His name is Sir Joe Commins.
00:49:21.719 --> 00:49:23.999
Thank you, thank you very much.
00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:33.889
Munich is the yodel capital of
Germany.
00:49:34.489 --> 00:49:39.999
This is where Franzl Lang lives. And here,
yodelers can get anything they need.
00:49:41.360 --> 00:49:42.780
The shirts are so wonderful.
00:49:44.169 --> 00:49:45.999
Awesome, Cheerio.
00:49:51.270 --> 00:49:52.669
You have a way with it.
00:49:55.620 --> 00:49:59.139
Let our trouser have to be tight in the first
time because let us stretch.
00:49:59.260 --> 00:50:01.659
You don't have to feel good
in the trouser first.
00:50:14.699 --> 00:50:16.001
So, what do you think about this?
00:50:16.999 --> 00:50:19.999
You must try to push the shirt
in the trousers.
00:50:20.999 --> 00:50:22.001
I hope you're not shy.
00:50:22.002 --> 00:50:24.370
I am...
00:50:24.649 --> 00:50:26.560
It's always the best job for me now.
00:50:29.090 --> 00:50:30.699
Don't get slimmer.
00:50:33.770 --> 00:50:36.969
Of course, it's traditional
for our store.
00:50:37.340 --> 00:50:39.070
Yeah, always the sleeves up.
00:50:39.580 --> 00:50:43.330
You always want to see some skin.
Yeah, always, and the other side.
00:50:44.209 --> 00:50:46.689
And then leather trousers,
you wear no boxer short.
00:50:46.699 --> 00:50:50.370
You wear some small thing or nothing.
The best way is always nothing.
00:50:50.379 --> 00:50:53.330
Oh, sorry, because if you wear
a boxer short, it cames up,
00:50:53.340 --> 00:50:55.350
it's crinkled there.
Nothing.
00:50:56.899 --> 00:50:59.999
This is the most important thing of a
leather trouser, yes.
00:51:01.999 --> 00:51:02.999
Oh, I'm sorry.
00:51:03.850 --> 00:51:08.280
- It's ok.
- Yeah, drink, I pick up the new bottle.
00:51:54.649 --> 00:51:58.001
After the visit to the shop,
Bjørn by finally finds the courage.
00:51:57.469 --> 00:52:00.600
Is it you, Joe?
00:52:03.709 --> 00:52:07.110
Hey, Bjørn, how you doing?
I'm pretty good, yeah.
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:11.739
Um, we're in München. Yeah.
00:52:12.419 --> 00:52:17.780
So we're, uh, we're a bit, uh, you know,
nervous before the big meeting.
00:52:22.999 --> 00:52:27.719
No, we're not sure yet, you know, probably
10 minutes or 15 minutes away.
00:52:34.449 --> 00:52:37.840
Yeah, I'm thinking about giving him
"I Like To Ski."
00:52:37.850 --> 00:52:40.860
I'm not sure what to do, you see.
I'm not sure how to approach this
00:52:41.330 --> 00:52:43.239
because of course
he don't want visitors.
00:52:47.659 --> 00:52:49.620
Yeah, I will definitely. Sure.
00:52:50.189 --> 00:52:52.340
But does he speak English at all?
00:52:56.999 --> 00:52:58.108
Only German, OK. Shit.
00:54:48.350 --> 00:54:49.699
Bjørn did not get to meet Franzl.
00:54:51.540 --> 00:54:53.999
But maybe it's a comfort that
he didn't have to speak German.
00:54:56.699 --> 00:54:58.658
Instead, he visits Jodlerwirt,
00:54:58.659 --> 00:55:02.101
the legendary tavern where
Franzl Lang started his career.
00:55:04.899 --> 00:55:07.899
To get to yodel here is very special.
00:58:17.810 --> 00:58:20.879
(singing and yodeling)
