"Yodel-Adle-Eedle-Idle-Oo" is a song featured in the animated Disney film Home on the Range. It is sung by the villain Alameda Slim (Randy Quaid) and his nephews (David Burnham, Jason Graae, and Gregory Jbara) as he is abducting the cattle. Just as the song ends, Slim sees 3 cowboys who were been knocked out earlier by the Willie Brothers during their attempt to abduct the cattle and as well Rico, who would later be revealed as his partner, riding on Buck are heading toward to him, noticing a rock balancing on top of a cliff using his spurs to knock it on the path where he was preventing them to chase him, unaware there is another path nearby where the cows soon find and the song ends as the falling rock finally lands blocking the path.
Lyrics[]
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 dogies 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!
