@@agua246 the point of him stealing the cattle and then buying the land of the bankrupted owners is that those same land owners never allowed him to yodel, he himself says that the owners despised his yodel and always fired him
Fun fact: The voice actor (Randy Quaid) doing the singing was not the guy doing the yodeling. In fact, not only was it a different guy, but there were TWO guys doing the yodeling, one for the lower tones and one for the higher ones, and they needed to time it perfectly when the yodeling went into the different ranges, as well as when the vocals came in.
Another fun fact: The voice actor for the latinamerican dub sang this whole song by himself and he did it so flawlessly that countries like Japan, China, Brazil, Italy and Spain used his version for the yodeling parts.

One of the amazing things about this is it's a real thing. Some old German cowboys brought the yodel to the plains, and if you've ever played music for cows they're genuinely curious creatures. As long as they're not spooked or stressed, you can actually yodel as a form of getting their attention. Especially if they're trained that it has a positive association.
Same goes for horses btw. Most horses like, specialy my horse: March of the Siberian Riflemen, Soviet version of Farewell Slavianka, Song of Stalins artillery, Partisan Song, Lyube songs, preferably the Horse one, Wanderer by Ensiferum, Christmass Truce by Sabaton, March of Soviet Tanks, Wo alle Straßen enden, German Imperial Anthem, Austrian Imperial Anthem, Cossack songs, and Lady in Black. I would list songs they dont like, or ignore in General, but i would get questioned for knowing them, and i wish not to answer.
No wonder he doesn't have a problem cattle rustling; his yodeling is very mesmerizing. Every time I watch him sing, I want to see it through to the end.
His employers were crazy to not recognize his greatness. He would’ve earned them a fortune and they could’ve easily paid their other hands to deal with it.
Fun fact: Slim was originally going to be a more serious villain. In the earlier scripts he was going to be an undead outlaw who used his yodeling to hypnotize cattle to charge off cliffs to get revenge because he was trampled to death by cattle. This was changed to make him a more goofy villain as his next iteration was going to use his yodeling to amass an army of cows to charge the White House so he can become President but was also changed due to how ridiculous it sounded

Man I love going down memory lane! This is one of those few villain songs that isn’t necessarily dark or ominous, instead it’s upbeat and catchy. And I love it without a single doubt!

@@Ceases-u1c ха-ха-ха наши есть везде. Мультфильм детства (тогда ещё у меня не было интернета и в помине был только двд и диски к нему поэтому все мультфильмы были пересмотрены по 1000 раз) особенно этот момент до сих пор сидит в голове. А днд я увлекся относительно не так давно
2:14 I don't know why but as a kid I thought the Willie Brothers said "he don't float,not a chance" But it took me 18 years to realize that it was "he don't rope,not a chance" So what I thought was them making fun of his weight was actually them complimenting thier uncle for not using rope
I love how they initially animate it in silhouette, so that the instrument appears like a gun and the audience fears the worst. I sure as hell didn't expect the random musical number. lol
This guy can use his yodeling to move huge herds of cattle so precisely and efficiently without stressing them. Those farmers really were stupid to not appreciate his talent.
I’ll say he just literally walked off with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cattle at the very least (btw at the time 100,000 was practically a million at the time)

Well he kinda IS fat… even though he’s fucking strong. Fat people can become strong too- I’ve seen people with ‘guts’ lift weights that are thousands of pounds.
The one moment that I remember from the movie and also, this song is so F$@&ING catchy! Such an underrated movie that does not deserve the hate it gets...
Say what you want about this movie, but it has one of the best Disney Villain songs I've ever heard. This is the song of a villain who does what he does with a joyful smile on his face and a pep in his step.
1:30-1:31 (Yodeling As In Singing) Yodel Le Yodel Le Yodel Da Yodel Da Yodel Da Yodel Da Yodel Da Yodel Da Lime Yadooooo, Yodeling Yodel Yah, Yodeling Yodel Yodeling Yodel Yodeling Yodel Li Ha Ho!!!!!! 😄😮😁
I heard the Japanese version and knowing who the voice actor is for him in that version it’s not only impressive how good an older Japanese man can yodel but the knowledge that Dracula is yodeling.
his yodeling is so powerful that he's actually sung by three guys lol, one for the normal vocals, one for the high tone yodels, and one for the low tones. Apparently it required skill to swap between wm but if you pay attention you can sometimes hear the swaps as they occur (at least I believe that you can lol). In the Spanish dub the voice actor did so well that he did all three parts solo and Apparently has his yodels reused for the other dubs
I honestly want to nominate this as the best classic Disney villain song. Fight me. But also, I loved this movie with my entire soul. Top 10 best Disney movies for me, maybe even top 5.
True, i also liked this movie so much when i was a little. I watched it so much times... Also, fun fact, in russian he sounds higher and sing is a little crazier. But still sounds awesome...
@@tolikkazan9889 The Russian version iirc actually just uses the yodeling from the Latin American Spanish version. Look up a comparison video and you'll hear it
From my childself's perspective, Alameda Slim was so cool. It made this movie so interesting since my understanding of a "villain" was "dark, brooding, evil," but this guy was talented, strong, and colorful! This movie is so underrated
I don't get why this movie is so hated. Not my favorite Disney movie by a LONG shot but it's so so much fun and I think the cast really had a good time. The animation in this scene alone is a trip. I recently watched this movie immediately after Dumbo stoned off my mind with some friends and this sequence was far more entertaining on the high (to be fair we were like an hour in the bud lol) than the Pink Elephants
Yeah, the whole style, there's many times where we see things without outlines, which somehow fits very well with the whole wild west aesthetic. Does that make sense?
It represents the ultimate downfall of the Golden age of Disney. The last 2D film before abandoning the original art that Walt set out to do and making Pixar rip-off style 3D outings.
@@TheOneStooge to be fair princess and the frog getting beaten by how to train your dragon in the box office didn't help matters. Httyd was the better movie but the studio execs saw that as a clear sign that 3d was the more popular medium for animation.
I feel like this is the result of someone that is good at writing music being challenged to writing a yodel song and that person just responds with "Hold my beer..."
Alan Menken is a little more than good at writing music, this is the dude behind the songs in the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Hercules, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the list goes on
Genuinely one of the most underrated villain songs. This has absolutely no right to slap as hard as it does. It is literally the only thing I remember about this movie.
I have never seen this movie. My friend sent this to me. When he pulled out the ukelele and the tone completely changed, it LITERALLY DROPPED MY JAW. I instantly love this man 😂
This movie is so fun, I don't care if it's bad, it's so genuine in what it sought out to do and accomplish. This is obviously the best scene in that regard.
@@abc.animal5143 Pocahontas was decent imo. It’s Pocahontas 2 that was iffy. Same with Hunchback of Notre Dame 2, but that’s because Disney started it’s cash grab era, so they weren’t as invested in the sequels as they were for the originals which were created during their renaissance era.
Unbelievable. He's actually yodeling several iconic tunes. The first one is an old cartoon tune they used westerns. The second is friggin Yankee doodle. And the third one and my personal favorite is the classic song ODE TO JOY!! DAMN!
I am speechless. I loved this song as a kid, never even seen the movie and completely forgot about it. The algorithm really came through today. Memory unlocked.
Tbh I don’t know why so many people don’t like this movie. The animation is great and the story is fun. I remember it being one of my favorites as a kid
I haven't seen this movie since early elementary, but this scene has lived in my head rent free for all that time. The catchy song, the trippy animation...perfection.
I remember watching this as a kid and how the yodelling completely caught me off guard And when I rewatched it, I remember when Maggie was introduced, she was still slightly in a trance from when Slim rustled her old home, it was kinda cool slight foreshadowing
0:21-2:40 *Slim:* Now listen up! There are crooks in this here West Who have claimed to be the best And they think they wrote the book on how to rustle Well, as good as they may be Not a one's as good as me An' I barely have to move a single muscle! They call me mean, boys! Depraved and nasty, too And they ain't seen, boys The cruelest thing I do! You see, I… Yodel-adle-eedle-idle-odel-oo! The sweetest way of rustlin' yet devised! 'Cause when I yodel-adle-eedle-idle-odel-oo Why, looky how them cows get hypnotized! *Bill:* He don't prod *Phil:* He don't yell *Gill:* Still he drives them doggies well, *Willie Brothers:* Which ain't easy when your chaps are labeled XXXXL! *Slim:* Yes, if you're lookin' from a bovine point of view I sure can yodel-adle-eedle-idle Odel-adle-eedle-idle Yodel-adle-eedle-idle-oo! _(spoken)_ Here we go, boys! Five thousand cattle in the side pocket! Aha! _[Yodels "William Tell Overture", "Yankee Doodle" and "Beethoven's Ode to Joy"]_ Yes, I can yodel-adle-eedle-odel! *Brothers:* ... a sound them cattle truly take to heart! *Slim:* Yeah, I can yodel-adle-eedle-idle-odel-adle-eedle-idle-odel An' smack my big ol' rump if that ain't art! *Gill:* He don't rope *Bill:* Not a chance! *Phil:* He just puts 'em in a trance *Brothers:* He's a pioneer Pied Piper in ten-gallon underpants! *Slim:* Yep! I'm the real rip-roarin' deal to those who moo Thanks to my yodel-adle-eedle-idle Odel-adle-eedle-idle! I got cattle out the ol' wazoo 'Cause I can yodel-adle-eedle-idle-oo! Yodel-adle-eedle-idle-oo!
2:08 Not only can this man yodel- *Y O D E L*- to hypnotize cattle into a trance to follow him wherever he wants… But apparently he has the power to grant them gravity-defying abilities. Yeah. I’d be unsettled at the very least.
This song was honestly the best part of the whole movie, I've had it stuck in my head ever since I was a kid and it's easily the most "stick out" moment for me. The movie may not have been "good", nor "terrible" by different peoples' standards, but you can't deny that this song's catchy as hell!
if it's a master yodeler, all they need is to use their audio as refrence to match the lip as well as the pace and have them know the song. It's not too hard as long as those steps are sorted out properly
It was somewhere around 2005 when i first saw this film. I was only seven and this being the only scene that remained in my head since. Now i found it! Disney should recognize this masterpiece!
I remember when I first watched this movie and this song was so gosh darn catchy I had to keep rewinding it back. A lot of people may hate this movie but honestly it's such an underrated film. In fact this song made me appreciate yodeling all that much more.
Considering how everyone talks about the amazing skill it takes to yodel like that or how good of a lighthearted villain Alameda Slim is, it is hard for me to admit this, but I just gotta... I think the thing I like most about the lyric itself is how he almost literally says he has "cattle out the ass" at 2:30 (look up "Wazoo" if you don't believe me) XD I just love that, he's absolutely joyous in this moment and just flaunting at everyone within earshot XDXD Edit: also, check out the latin american dub of this song if you ever get the chance. Just saying.
God damn correct mister or miss! When I was small, I didn't like the movie cause that yodel part got me traumatized and scared, and at this close up, I cringed so fucking hard that I could almost taste my own vagina! But now I love this part! Funny as hell! Except the cringey close up, I'm still trying to get use to it... See?
I've NEVER seen this movie before. THIS is a very interesting concept for a villain. He's a successful highly wanted criminal that uses such a non-violent method to steal cattle.
Same, the fact that he isn't violent towards animals and instead uses his titanium vocal chores and intoxicating and hypnotising yodelling skills to take full command of them is double as impressive as most villains, movies should include more villains like Alameda Slim for sure!
@@charlie1486 yea, the villain is the highlight of the movie, but unfortunately it's dragged down immensely by how kinda bad to mid at best the rest of the movie is like, alameda slim is one of actually original-written villains who uses something no other ability other villains have to get things their way

@@evanneroslavsky9629 He originally was a ranch hand. His yodeling is what cost him his job. Whether he went straight into villainy after that or stewed on it for a few years, I don't know.
I believe he was always talented but surrounded by uncultured jerks, I'm in a similar situation, I make very tasteful reviews and what do i get? Praise? Adulation? No.. barely anyone cares about my content..

If this gets the Disney Live Action Remake treatment down the line this could be Slim’s backstory
Man, Disney really needs a villain like this again. A serious threat with a moronic yet fun superpower
moronic?
he yodels, and yodeling IS AN ART!
Yodeling isn’t really a superpower, for it was actually invented for the purpose of calling and controlling cattle
If it's stupid but works, it's not stupid
@@thekoifishcoyote8762 It’s not stupid if it works
Uncle Slim might be intimidating, but he sure knows how to sing.
"Singing!? Songbirds sing. Saloon gals sing. Little bitty snot-nosed children sing. I yodel! And yodeling IS AN ART!!!!"
@@kittykatdaredevil6755 "Well, maybe they just didn't like your yodeling."
He didn't mean it, Uncle Slim. Everybody likes yodeling.
Why, it's one of the funniest, cornball, goofy, silly sounds in the whole west...or Europe.

I love it when villains in musicals have the best songs. 😂👍
Nice to comeback to a childhood classic and this definitely deserves more than it's worth cause my grandpa calls me slim sometimes 😂
Alameda slim… very nice ring to it
@@DunlapGaming or just slim but still a nice ring to it
You know. I now realized I’m getting old because I was nine and went to see this In movie theaters with my grandma when it came out.
For a very different reason I hope.
Man I love going down memory lane! This is one of those few villain songs that isn’t necessarily dark or ominous, instead it’s upbeat and catchy. And I love it without a single doubt!
Slim definitely has genuine passion for his line of work and we have as much fun as he his
For years this was the ONLY scene I remembered from this film along with the bar fight because I replayed it to exhaustion
Love the fact that his attire is dark and menacing but when he starts yodeling it is cheerful and bright and the shirt looks like it is made of sequins

But it took me 18 years to realize that it was "he don't rope,not a chance"

Randy Quaid is a genuinely weird human being but as a comedian, voice actor and performer, he's legitimately underrated
Too bad he's all kinds of nuts.
He was pretty good in the 1993 movie freaked you ever see that one ?
@@Igarappappa what did he do?
@@zegiraffes Turned into a paranoid nutbar
@@manarayofhope2374 he was also a good Frankenstein's monster in the 1992 movie.
This guy can use his yodeling to move huge herds of cattle so precisely and efficiently without stressing them. Those farmers really were stupid to not appreciate his talent.
I’ll say he just literally walked off with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cattle at the very least (btw at the time 100,000 was practically a million at the time)
I remember seeing this in theatres with my grandparents and all the kids and adults actually applauded Slim's yodeling.
When I was child : damn I like that
Today as an adult : damn I like that
I feel the exact same way, this is one of my favorite villain songs
While not their best work, this movie is a reminder of what Disney can achieve when they use an original story.
Yeah, instead of all those stupid remakes they've been doing as of late.
@@artbytesia Cuz creativity is dead, only politics and cancel culture so what they do is play safe with the live remakes and hope for the best but in this case goes horribly
Why are people saying he's fat? He's bigger than steer, can pull four bulls UP to him and can throw spurs that cause giant rocks to fall. He is power incarnate.
You can be heavy set and muscular.
1:11
im pretty sure he himself says he is at some point during the climax of the movie
Well he kinda IS fat… even though he’s fucking strong. Fat people can become strong too- I’ve seen people with ‘guts’ lift weights that are thousands of pounds.
and he is also fat. Why cant you be those things AND fat? Have you seen the top weightlifters? All fat
Man Finds Amazing Hack To Gather Cows Quickly! FARMERS HATE HIM!
I love how all the jokes in this song are about Alameda Slim having a fat dumptruck of an ass.

I like that his character design starts out dark and pointy and then it subverts expectations by having him be a rounder more colorful character
I love how Slim just enjoys this so much. Rustler or not he can yodel.
Say what you want about this movie, but it has one of the best Disney Villain songs I've ever heard. This is the song of a villain who does what he does with a joyful smile on his face and a pep in his step.
It's refreshing to see a Disney villain who wears bright colors rather than another one who dresses like....well, me.
Felt. My wardrobe is black and white lol
Tell me about it
Not to mention that in this song, he’s also enjoying himself. XD
@@DunlapGaming black is the best color to wear
@@DunlapGaming They work for every occasion.
I will advice every single one of you to hear the French version of the yodel. Absolutely wonderful.
1:17 (Singing) Yodeling Yodel Yah, Yodeling Yodel Yodeling Yodel Yodeling Yodel Li Yohooooooo!!!!!! 😄😮😁
1:30-1:31 (Yodeling As In Singing) Yodel Le Yodel Le Yodel Da Yodel Da Yodel Da Yodel Da Yodel Da Yodel Da Lime Yadooooo, Yodeling Yodel Yah, Yodeling Yodel Yodeling Yodel Yodeling Yodel Li Ha Ho!!!!!! 😄😮😁
I heard the Japanese version and knowing who the voice actor is for him in that version it’s not only impressive how good an older Japanese man can yodel but the knowledge that Dracula is yodeling.
I recommend the Brazilian Portuguese version it's absolutely amazing as well
@@Broomer52 the japanase dub use a lot of the mexican dubbing
you have to admit, he's a pretty good yodeler
Pretty great*
Well don’t get used to it, especially if he tries it on your cows, which not anytime soon due to his capture at the Patch of Heaven.
his yodeling is so powerful that he's actually sung by three guys lol, one for the normal vocals, one for the high tone yodels, and one for the low tones. Apparently it required skill to swap between wm but if you pay attention you can sometimes hear the swaps as they occur (at least I believe that you can lol). In the Spanish dub the voice actor did so well that he did all three parts solo and Apparently has his yodels reused for the other dubs
Yodeling is an Art.
2:05 this part is amazing. the guitar "riff" the yodeling... its perfect, perfect! and i see the man's really enjoying what he's doing
My brother and I would rewind and play this song over and over and over again when we first got the DVD. Drove our mom insane.
Imagine being interviewed for the part.
"So... Can you Yodel?"
I'm pretty sure they got a professional yodeller in for the yodeling parts.
@@maicey_t. yes they hired other people to yodel for certain parts
Hearing his yodeling was like a sleeper cell activation code for a long forgotten memory of watching this moovie
I honestly want to nominate this as the best classic Disney villain song. Fight me. But also, I loved this movie with my entire soul. Top 10 best Disney movies for me, maybe even top 5.
I liked piccahintas with the govnor really good contrast with the colors and the message it was sending
You ain't the only one, I still really like this one.
True, i also liked this movie so much when i was a little. I watched it so much times... Also, fun fact, in russian he sounds higher and sing is a little crazier. But still sounds awesome...
@@tolikkazan9889 The Russian version iirc actually just uses the yodeling from the Latin American Spanish version. Look up a comparison video and you'll hear it
Definitely one of the Top Ten Disney Villain songs; not as potent as Frollo’s “Hellfire” but just about the same level as “Gaston”.
One of my all-time favorite departures from a pretty normal animated movie to an outrageous psychedelic yodeling masterpiece.
One of? Are you implying there are others? Lol
@@opticalsound4444 Pink Elephants from Dumbo is known as the og psychedelic trip from Disney 😂.
@@tiahnarodriguez3809 oh, DUH! How could I possibly forget?
From my childself's perspective, Alameda Slim was so cool. It made this movie so interesting since my understanding of a "villain" was "dark, brooding, evil," but this guy was talented, strong, and colorful!
This movie is so underrated
I don't get why this movie is so hated. Not my favorite Disney movie by a LONG shot but it's so so much fun and I think the cast really had a good time. The animation in this scene alone is a trip.
I recently watched this movie immediately after Dumbo stoned off my mind with some friends and this sequence was far more entertaining on the high (to be fair we were like an hour in the bud lol) than the Pink Elephants
Yeah, the whole style, there's many times where we see things without outlines, which somehow fits very well with the whole wild west aesthetic. Does that make sense?
@@Mike14264 Yeah! Agree! I always thought the backgrounds in this movie looked awesome
It represents the ultimate downfall of the Golden age of Disney. The last 2D film before abandoning the original art that Walt set out to do and making Pixar rip-off style 3D outings.
@@TheOneStooge because traditional 2D... just went up and died, hell 2D, in general, went up and died in that time period.
@@TheOneStooge to be fair princess and the frog getting beaten by how to train your dragon in the box office didn't help matters. Httyd was the better movie but the studio execs saw that as a clear sign that 3d was the more popular medium for animation.
I don't think there will ever be another villain like Alameda Slim
I will make damn sure we will get another one of him.
Just as sure as there won't ever be another villain like Frollo, for example.
More like you Freddy
Yer forgetting something Freddy.
Thank you Freddy Fazbear from the hit game Five Nights at Freddys
I feel like this is the result of someone that is good at writing music being challenged to writing a yodel song and that person just responds with "Hold my beer..."
0:49-0:50 (Singing) I - Yodel Le Yodel Le Yodel Da Lime Yadooooo!!!! 😁
You mean hold my whiskey.
Alan Menken is a little more than good at writing music, this is the dude behind the songs in the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Hercules, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the list goes on
Genuinely one of the most underrated villain songs. This has absolutely no right to slap as hard as it does. It is literally the only thing I remember about this movie.
I have never seen this movie. My friend sent this to me. When he pulled out the ukelele and the tone completely changed, it LITERALLY DROPPED MY JAW. I instantly love this man 😂
I think the animators had fun with this musical number
Bruh
The director just gave them a dose of LSD and said "have fun boys"
I would've had loads of fun!
I think the little detail I really like about this song is that the guitar only plays when slims playing it, Most notable at 2:30
Everything we put in our movies, even the smallest detail, can make or break the movie.
I'm seeing Kaa's hypnotic stare, Pink Elephants on Parade, Pooh's Hefalump and Woozels nightmare, And the Hyena March in one setting.
Nice.
I don’t care what reviewers say. Randy Quaid did great voice performance yodeling. I’ll bet he had fun yodeling.
This movie is so fun, I don't care if it's bad, it's so genuine in what it sought out to do and accomplish. This is obviously the best scene in that regard.
It wasn’t bad. Just not as good as other Disney movies. I don’t think any Disney animated movies are bad, except maybe Pochahontas.
@@abc.animal5143 Pocahontas was decent imo. It’s Pocahontas 2 that was iffy. Same with Hunchback of Notre Dame 2, but that’s because Disney started it’s cash grab era, so they weren’t as invested in the sequels as they were for the originals which were created during their renaissance era.
@@tiahnarodriguez3809 all of those direct-to-video sequels were bad (except Lion King 2)
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Only Disney can make a yodeling cattle rustler as villain
That's how Disney is unique and magical.

I have never been more intimidated by Yodel music in my life. And I LOVE IT
Unbelievable. He's actually yodeling several iconic tunes. The first one is an old cartoon tune they used westerns.
The second is friggin Yankee doodle.
And the third one and my personal favorite is the classic song ODE TO JOY!!
DAMN!
William tell overture, aka the lone ranger song
@@1heKing And Red river valley
I like how they make it look like he's holding a gun instead of a guitar right before he starts yodeling.
I am speechless. I loved this song as a kid, never even seen the movie and completely forgot about it. The algorithm really came through today. Memory unlocked.
Tbh I don’t know why so many people don’t like this movie. The animation is great and the story is fun. I remember it being one of my favorites as a kid
I know, it's just so awesome.
I used to own the dvd
Facts bro!
This isn’t a dark villain song but a cheerful and jolly one! Unlike “Be Prepared “
Where in be prepared that the hyenas are doing a “certain German salute during WW2 “and scar is the “moustached German leader during WW2”
@@Elephant-Puppet That is true! Read it as a trivia fact
I haven't seen this movie since early elementary, but this scene has lived in my head rent free for all that time. The catchy song, the trippy animation...perfection.
I remember watching this as a kid and how the yodelling completely caught me off guard
And when I rewatched it, I remember when Maggie was introduced, she was still slightly in a trance from when Slim rustled her old home, it was kinda cool slight foreshadowing
Bro I love his energy, I mean yeah he’s bad but look at his energy! You could tell he’s having fun! You could tell this dude loves doing this 😂
This scene is the exact reason why I have an irrational fear of hypnotists

Not only can this man yodel- *Y O D E L*- to hypnotize cattle into a trance to follow him wherever he wants…
But apparently he has the power to grant them gravity-defying abilities.
Yeah. I’d be unsettled at the very least.
😂😂😂 screw gravity!
Lots of disney villains sing, but as the man himself said,
"I yodel, and yodeling is an art!"
"Sing? Songbirds sing, saloon gals sing, little itty-bitty snot-nosed children sing. He yodels! And yodeling IS AN ART!!!"
@Danielle-hp7wq Right on!
This song was honestly the best part of the whole movie, I've had it stuck in my head ever since I was a kid and it's easily the most "stick out" moment for me. The movie may not have been "good", nor "terrible" by different peoples' standards, but you can't deny that this song's catchy as hell!
I don't want to know how long it took them to record someone singing ode to joy while yodeling lol
Yodel to Joy, surely? 😄
if it's a master yodeler, all they need is to use their audio as refrence to match the lip as well as the pace and have them know the song. It's not too hard as long as those steps are sorted out properly
It was somewhere around 2005 when i first saw this film. I was only seven and this being the only scene that remained in my head since. Now i found it! Disney should recognize this masterpiece!
1:56 haven't seen this since like 2008....and my gosh I remember it all!!! love this movie
By far, the BEST DISNEY SONG I’VE EVER HEARD. It’s so awesome, and I loved this movie!
Hands down still one of my favorite animated scenes in movies.
Just over the top perfection.
I remember when I first watched this movie and this song was so gosh darn catchy I had to keep rewinding it back. A lot of people may hate this movie but honestly it's such an underrated film. In fact this song made me appreciate yodeling all that much more.
This movie is so creative and fun, it was one of my childhood favorites! I was surprised to learn it flopped on its release
It sure looks underrated - this is the only part of it I've seen and it looks entertaining.
2:18 He's a Pioneer Pied Piper in ten-gallon underpants. Aldmeda Slim's Underwear.
Wedgie!
1:31 He really takes yodeling to a whole new level.
I find it funny that his henchmen are mocking him for having big pants when this man is 80% chest and gut. Seriously built like Heavy Weapons guy
Considering how everyone talks about the amazing skill it takes to yodel like that or how good of a lighthearted villain Alameda Slim is, it is hard for me to admit this, but I just gotta... I think the thing I like most about the lyric itself is how he almost literally says he has "cattle out the ass" at 2:30 (look up "Wazoo" if you don't believe me) XD I just love that, he's absolutely joyous in this moment and just flaunting at everyone within earshot XDXD
Edit: also, check out the latin american dub of this song if you ever get the chance. Just saying.
The ending where he escapes is so clean
I regret not seeing this in theatre. I’m sure the reaction to the singing was a resounding fit of laughter.
It was a good movie tos we in theaters. I cried at the end because of everything the cows had been through.
One of my favorite childhood movies. This is a classic!
Not sure I'd watch this movie again. But this song in particular never gets old for me.
Mans put all his points into Charisma and it worked out.
Somebody somewhere actually said the words, “evil yodelling cowboy.” With a straight face.
2:22 I think it’s super under appreciated that the willie brothers all have matching horses
1:30 Scariest close up in Disney history and tripiest moment since Dumbo
God damn correct mister or miss! When I was small, I didn't like the movie cause that yodel part got me traumatized and scared, and at this close up, I cringed so fucking hard that I could almost taste my own vagina!

I love how this comment section is full of silly lil facts about this movie. Home on the Range community you are a gem. Never change.
I've NEVER seen this movie before. THIS is a very interesting concept for a villain. He's a successful highly wanted criminal that uses such a non-violent method to steal cattle.
Same, the fact that he isn't violent towards animals and instead uses his titanium vocal chores and intoxicating and hypnotising yodelling skills to take full command of them is double as impressive as most villains, movies should include more villains like Alameda Slim for sure!
@@charlie1486 yea, the villain is the highlight of the movie, but unfortunately it's dragged down immensely by how kinda bad to mid at best the rest of the movie is
like, alameda slim is one of actually original-written villains who uses something no other ability other villains have to get things their way
