Microsoft's April Fools' Joke: Alpine Legend

Slap my thighs and snap my suspenders, it must be April Fools' Day again as Microsoft has announced Alpine Legend, a yodeling and alphorn rhythm game for the Xbox 360.

Alpine Legend features such classic hits as "Whose spit is in my horn?" and "More goat bell (It needs)" from alpine legends including Franz "The Manz" Lang and Johann Hornbostel. Grab the limited edition Tri-horn Pack to become "a Tri-horn blastmaster."

Showing the reality behind yodeling's glamourous image, Alpine Legend will confront players with tours of sleepy mountain villages, rising tempers in log cabin recording sessions, the perils of throat soother addiction and the pressures of a live yodel-off.
