Tuvan throat singing. The high pitches are harmonic overtones that resonate to produce the melody. I can’t believe these guys aren’t still the world’s largest empire. A couple more examples after the break.

321 Cool, ska… real cool
I never knew ska had such a great heritage of enchanting dance maneuvers. I also learned that my mock-skanking has been a gross misrepresentation for all these years; I could have been looking so much stupider. I owe an apology to all you skatellites out there.
But, goddamn, do you really have to dissect the moves so thoroughly? I mean, I know I’m an accredited body flautist, certified in exactly tens of thousands of dance moves, but I feel like even a layman, like you, the reader, can see these moves for about two seconds and have it down pat.
Be sure to watch thru to the fourth move. It’s called “rowing” because of it’s resemblance to rowing a boat. By that logic, I would just call it “wang jamming”. Consider me converted.
220 when i lay my burden down
meet furry lewis. most folks don’t know him at all. he kinda got glossed over in the history of the blues. happened to more of the less marketable bluesmen. he had one leg and like dean martin, his drink of choice was ten high. last christmas my cousin got a crappy acoustic guitar and i was asked to tune it for him, and after i tuned it i played it a little bit, threw in a little of the hill country style blues, and my mom who was sitting near started dancing in her chair a little and says, ” boy, i feel like i’m listening to furry lewis agian”. my older sister and i did a double take and asked her how she knew about furry lewis and she told us stories about how she and our aunt used to go see him play at some of the coffee shops around memphis, zooted out of their heads i’m sure. if his way of playing is confusing or scary, just keep watching, he was part of the old medicine show circuit from the 20′s nd 30′s and when jug bands were hot he played alot with gus cannon. this is how they did things. none of this house of blues crap. this video i think he’s in his room. and age 78.
147 Do you like coffee?
I’m not quite sure what I think about this. The fact that this guy would torture some guy and make him drink his own blood is a wee bit bat-shit. However you have to admire him for his commitment to, as he puts it, “follow the footprints behind [him]“ That and he reminds me of Toki, and who doesn’t love Toki.
All I know is Glenn Danzig better watch his back, because Gahl would probably kidnap, torture, and ass rape him, given the opportunity.
