Best new pop single in the yodeling category? No doubt: Gwen Stefani's new single "Wind it Up." That's right, sampled into an infectious, kind of great, kind of awful, hip-hop track is "The Lonely Goatherd" from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "The Sound of Music." Jay-Z beat Stefani to the game by six years, encasing "It's the Hard-Knock Life" from the musical "Annie" into a huge rap hit called "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)." But for crazy mashups, what could be better than Stefani coaxing you to "Let the beat get under your skin," followed by a Julie Andrews-worthy yodelayheehoo? The new album, "The Sweet Escape," is out now. Website. "Wind it Up" at iTunes.
