The cure for a sore throat…Part 1

Because Eurovision is a place where different nations share their cultural heritage, it should come as no surprise that a few entries have contained yodeling. In the late 1970s, Switzerland sent a song that charmingly expressed their fondness for both yodeling and alphorns. Oh, and also Dixieland jazz.

Note 1: The Swiss Lady in the title is not a woman, but the aforementioned alphorn.
Note 2: Alphorns don’t sound like trumpets.
