Favourite Morrissey yodel

[Kewpie]

We had Smiths yodel poll in 2009, possibly it's good time to have anotehr poll.

I'm aware that some of the options you may disagree to describe his singing as yodelling, hope you aren't too analytical about it.

Thank you very much for voting.

Why is not It's Not Your Birthday Anymore on the list? The clear winner to me.

Ooops, I'm sorry for forgetting 'It's Not Your Birthday Anymore'.
You are still able to vote 'Other'.

Yodelling? In Spring Heeled Jim? You mean the "la la la la-la-la" parts?

This is yodelling:

It's quite clearly a form of yodeling! Think of the Boy with the thorn in his side. How could you describe it as anything but?
Yodeling isn't just for hillbillies and alpenhorn types.

His cover of moon over Kentucky by sparks was a brilliant yodel!

I agree, but I excluded cover versions.

Well, if we want to be a little pedant The final part of the boy with the thorn in his side is what should be properly defined as "yodel", but most of the songs in the poll are more non-verbal singing and modulations, but it's okay to call them yodel anyway...I voted Suedehead, but I love them all, no one in the world can be as lovely in non verbal singing as Morrissey is!

[Pokey]

I know you had to leave some off, but leaving off 'Playboys' shouldn't happen!

That being said, voted for Lucky Lisp, I like when Morrissey just goes off at the end of songs.

Someone needs to look up yodel in the dictionary.

The end of Will Never Marry does it for me

[All Over Battersea]

Someone needs to look up yodel in the dictionary.

That is cool. I like the end of Im OK By Myself. Is that considered a yodel? ?

I'm sorry for the lack of options, you are still able to vote 'other'.

Thank you very much.

I wasn't making a comment on your list or list skills, I was just wondering if it was more of a wail than a yodel.
