It's obvious that yomamadontdanz is trying to start a flame war. Nice one yomamadontdanz. I'm sure he has this vidoe on his favorite's list, just like me.

if you listen to the yodeling in the very beginning, you realize that there is little difference between this and the middle eastern sense of melody.
and then, minutes in, you realize just how beautiful the song is, on its own, and no one is laughing anymore. every connotation is taken out of context, and all that's left is beautiful expression
this is visionary

if you listen to the yodeling in there very beginning, he sings with a very middle eastern esque sense of melody
and then, minutes in, you realize how beautifully simple and universal the song is, and how beautiful he's actually performing
every connotation is taken out of context,
and all that's left is pure expression, like standing naked in front of that crowd
this is visionary
i will think of this for help

Andy nails this even to the point where he seems to miss the yodel at 1:18. A few in the audience chuckle however Andy is doing Slim Whitman and Slim miss yodels the same spot. Andy nailed Slim Whitman's arrangement to the T. Brilliant.

OMG - made me look up Slim Whitman to make the comparison. Brilliant job, Andy! Think he could have gone on to a singing career, what with doing Elvis' voice, etc. Read that he wanted to be a song & dance entertainer. Sorry he didn't stay with us longer. Guess the cancer was a genetically-linked disease.

I can see the humor (visual--I get it) but the singing is really spot on. Especially because your waiting for Kaufman to ham it up or make a gaffe to make up for lack of singing talent. Very well done and entertaining.

It's funny you should mention Borat. Andy Kaufman would have LOVED Borat! The comedian who played him fooled hundreds of people, he was overbearing and abrasive, and brought out the worst in people. Kaufman would have gone bananas over him....
