Found in the family archives, this is apparently
a list of Fraunfelder yodel songs for
performances. The date is unknown. Note
that the song from Snow White and The Seven
Dwarfs is listed as number 55. The Fraunfelders
said they provided the yodel voices for this
tune in the movie, also known as "The Silly
Song." The family said Papa and young
Rheiny played a key role in development of the
song. Papa said he was a "yodel coach" and
Rheiny was the yodel voice of the otherwise
speachless "Dopey." Disney did not compensate
them for the movie and the Fraunfelders later
lost a lawsuit over the issue with the judge
refusing to rule on the orign of yodels.
However, some historians believe the
Fraunfelders did play a role in development of
the song.
