Every now and then, there’s an instrumental pop song from the 1960’s (I wager) that has a distinct “vocal” part of a man kinda yodeling: “yodel-oh, yodel-oh, yodel-oh, yodel-oh, bum-bum!” The music is a bit psychodelic with a touch of reverb (or other source of slight echo). I want to say the group may be called “The Giants”? Just a vague memory…nto sure why that comes to mind. Can anyone help ID the song title and/or artist? ---

Back in June, it was Hocus Pocus…that song always comes back 😉 > **[What song is this? (Warning: Worst description ever...and yodeling?)](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=470163)** > > So there’s this song I hear every now and then, but I can never remember what it’s called. The song, as I recall, starts off relatively normal, then maybe around halfway, there’s some quasi-yodeling added. It goes like this: Yodeling sound,... ---
