The Swiss Shut Down A Yodelling Festival With Fighter Jets And If Anything We Feel It Was An Underreaction

"We will fight them in their pavilions, we will fight them in the Spiegeltents…"

Look, all art is subjective and we would never want to criticise someone for enjoying something, even if that something could be accurately described as “sing-yelling, but worse”.

But the news that a Swiss yodelling festival was shut down by military aircraft seems… look, it seems about right to us. Whatever it takes.

“We took the highway to the yodel zone!”

Now, it should be pointed out that it was not deliberate.

There was an aerial display by Patrouille Swiss, the stunt flying team, and was meant to be performed for a celebration at Langenbruck in honour of centenary of the death of pioneering aviator Oskar Bider.

However, the lead pilot saw a tent set up nearby Mümliswil, figured that was the venue, and proceeded to stunt fly the hell out of the skies overhead.

‘What I do is very important!”

Sadly, the yodelling contest did then continue after the mixup, so we assume next time they’ll send in ground forces.

Bider was not available for comment.
