History Music / DaYoopers

The band is known for singing songs primarily dealing with rural life in the Upper Peninsula, including topics such as drinking beer, hunting, dealing with long winters, drinking more beer, eating Swedish and Finnish food, and more beer. They also own Da Yoopers Tourist Trap, a gift shop and museum.

* GenreRoulette: They've done traditional folk songs, polka, country, and rock, just to name a few. This genre-hopping gets turned UpToEleven on ''We're Still Rockin''', where every song is done in a different musical style (for example: "Big Truck" is truck-driving country, "Green Green Grass" is {{reggae}}, "Vampire Surfin' Girls" is surf rock, "My First Time Ever" is a cappella, "Shuckin' da Cob" is '90s punk, etc.). ''Jackpine Savage'' dialed it down slightly, but still had the hard rocking "Super Dooper Yooper Love Machine".

* AbsenteeActor: As ''We're Still Rockin''' was recorded right after Doc Bradbury quit, Jim Bellmore plays both guitar and bass on the album. Although they later hired Reggie Lusardi as a touring bassist, albums continued to have Bellmore pulling double duty (except "One More Beer", the only track on which Lusardi plays bass).

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: They've done traditional folk songs, polka, country, and rock, just to name a few. This genre-hopping gets turned UpToEleven on ''We're Still Rockin''', where every song is done in a different musical style (for example: "Big Truck" is truck-driving country, "Green Green Grass" is {{reggae}}, "Vampire Surfin' Girls" is surf rock, "My First Time Ever" is a cappella, "Shuckin' da Cob" is '90s punk, etc.). ''Jackpine Savage'' dialed it down slightly, but still had the hard rocking "Super Dooper Yooper Love Machine".

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent:
** ''Yoopy Do Wah'' is a double example: it was the only album between ''Yoopanese'' and ''Old Age Ain't for Sissies'' not to include any interstitial comedy skits or guest musicians, and it contains the completely serious ballad "When One Love Dies". It is also the only album between those two to feature ''all'' of the then-current members on lead vocals at least once.
** ''One Can Short of a 6-Pack'' abruptly switches to a batch of humorous Christmas songs for several tracks before reverting to the typical fare on the last two tracks. One gets the impression that they wanted to do a Christmas album, but didn't feel that they had quite enough material for it.
** [=DeCaire=] and Potila wrote the vast majority of the songs and skits, with Bellmore also taking over as co-writer after Potila left. However, [=DeLongchamp=] wrote the title track to ''Camp Fever'', Lynn co-wrote "Don't Go Up Dere" on ''One Can Short of a 6-Pack'', and several other writers are present on ''21st Century Yoopers in Space''.

* SameLanguageDub: They released a music video for "Rusty Chevrolet" in the early 1990s, featuring the group's then-lineup of Jim [=DeCaire=], Joe Potila, Lynn Coffey, Doc Bradbury, and Jerry Coffey. However, the latter two were not in the band at the time the song was released, and [=DeCaire=] didn't play anything on it, so only Lynn and Joe are matched up. Much later, after Jim Bellmore joined, they released the video compilation ''It's About Time, Eh!'', mostly composed of songs released before his joining, resulting in him (and a few others) lip-syncing to parts that they never sang.

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: They've done traditional folk songs, polka, country, and rock, just to name a few. This genre-hopping gets turned UpToEleven on ''We're Still Rockin''', where every song is done in a different musical style (for example: "Big Truck" is truck-driving country, "Green Green Grass" is {{reggae}}, "Vampire Surfin' Girls" is surf rock, "My First Time Ever" is a cappella, "Shuckin' da Cob" is {{grunge}}, etc.). ''Jackpine Savage'' dialed it down slightly, but still had the hard rocking "Super Dooper Yooper Love Machine".

* ACappella: "My First Time Ever" was done in the style of a barbershop quartet, with Jim Bellmore [[SelfBackingVocalist singing all four parts]].

** "Yooper Snow Rocket" is about The Alleged Snowmobile.

** ''Naked Elves in Cowboy Boots'' is full of them, with such gems as "I Want a Rinky Dinky Doo Dad for Christmas" (in which the parents get into a fight at Kmart over a new toy that the kid wants; when said toy is recalled, the kid says he doesn't care because a new toy has come out that he wants instead), "Naked Elves in Cowboy Boots" (titular elves that haunt only the narrator and other people who don't believe in Christmas), and "Deck da Brother-in-Law" (in-law shenanigans from the narrator's brother-in-law, which include among other things, a cat being duct-taped to the TV).
* AntiLoveSong: "Happy Birthday Fungus Face".

** "Cowboy" Dan Collins sang backing vocals on a couple albums before becoming an official member on ''We're Still Rockin''' in 1996.

* DoubleEntendre: "Do You Wanna Buy an Organ" is ostensibly about a musical instrument, but could be about something else:

** ''Yoopanese'' is all over this, as the band barely resembles itself. "My Shoes" and "Critics Tune" are completely serious songs with more generic themes; "Robot Girl" and "I Don't Wanna Glow" have science fiction overtones that stand in contrast to the mostly realistic approach of their later work; and "Road to Gwinn" is one of only a very small number of parodies in their catalog. It is also the only album besides ''Yoopy Do Wah'' not to have interstitial skits or guest musicians (''Old Age Ain't for Sissies'' has no skits either). Also, Lynn is playing an analog synthesizer instead of a keyboard.
** ''Culture Shock'', despite containing the very famous "Rusty Chevrolet" and "Second Week of Deer Camp", still contains some weirdness. Notably, some tracks still have Lynn playing a synthesizer ("Last Frontier" even has a drum machine, something the band never used again); "Chiquito War" continues to show a mild science-fiction theme; and the B-side is dominated by Finnish folk songs performed by guests with "folk" style instrumentation such as washtub bass, jugs, and spoons. Also, "Rusty Chevrolet" and "Second Week of Deer Camp" are examples themselves despite being among their most famous songs, as the former is a parody, and the latter's sole musical accompaniment is accordion and washtub bass, both played by guests.
** ''Camp Fever'' has the band mostly shifted to its most famous sound, but the B-side is still dominated by folk song covers with minimalistic instrumentation. By ''Yoop It Up'', everything was in place.

* ForgottenAnniversary: The subject of the "Anniversary Song". She tries to hint that it's their anniversary, but he's stuck on amusing anecdotes from her uncle's funeral.

For ''Yoopy Do Wah'', their first release on CD, Dave "Doc" Bradbury became their third bassist. Followup ''One Can Short of a Six-Pack'' (1994) was their last album with Potila. In 1995, he was replaced by Jim Bellmore on lead guitar, co-production, and co-writing duties, while rhythm guitarist "Cowboy" Dan Collins (who had previously sung backing vocals on ''Culture Shock'' and ''One Can Short of a Six-Pack'') officially joined. Bellmore's first studio album, ''We're Still Rockin''', featured him on both guitar and bass due to Bradbury's departure.

By decade's end, Reggie Lusardi and Bobby "Sy" Symons had respectively become touring bassist and drummer, although Bellmore and [=DeCaire=] typically retained those roles in-studio. Later albums saw Dan Collins and Jerry Coffey's departure, along with Lynn divorcing Jerry and marrying Jim Bellmore. The last touring lineup consisted of [=DeCaire=], the Bellmores, Symons, and Lusardi, who died in 2016. In addition to the various members, Da Yoopers frequently featured guest musicians on their albums, mostly culled from local talent. Live shows also featured interstitial sketch comedy typically performed by a stage crew, whose membership and numbers varied over time. Unlike the rest of the band, the sketch comedy actors rarely appeared on albums.

Although the band stopped touring after 2013, the Bellmores and [=DeCaire=] have continued to record sporadically. This includes the album ''Old Age Ain't for Sissies'' in 2018.

** Doc Bradbury sang "Transplant Song", "Free Beer", "Grandpa Got Run Over by a Beer Truck", and the first verse of "Heikki Lunta".
** Jerry Coffey sang "Super Dooper Yooper Love Machine". He also did two lines on "Nite Crawler Boogie", part of the unison lead vocals on "Wanna Buy an Organ", and duet with Lynn on "Ridin' da Cotton Pony".

** "Wanna Buy an Organ" goes from C Minor on the verses to C major on the chorus.
** "Camp Go for Beer" shifts up at the last chorus.

* AntiChristmasSong: "Rusty Chevrolet". They also recorded several of these on ''Six-Pack'' and much later, a full Christmas album of them.

** ''Camp Fever'' has the band mostly shifted to its most famous sound, but there are still a couple Finnish folk songs with minimal "folksy" instrumentation. By ''Yoop It Up'', everything was in place.

* LocalReference: They frequently name-drop a lot of the smaller former mining towns in the Upper Peninsula. Some songs also reference businesses with a strong presence in the area, such as the references to IGA supermarkets and (now-defunct) Shopko department stores in "Rusty Chevrolet".

* NobodyLovesTheBassist:
** They changed bassists twice within their first decade of recording, and some of the songs on their second and third albums have either a guest musician on a washtub bass, or no bass parts whatsoever. Bellmore played all the bass parts on ''We're Still Rockin''' due to it being recorded after Bradbury left, and while they later hired Reggie Lusardi as a touring bassist, Bellmore usually continued to play most of the bass parts in-studio.
** Also true of touring drummer Bobby Symons, who mostly just stayed behind the drum kit and never sang or participated in skits. [=DeCaire=] usually played the drum parts in-studio, although Jerry Coffey was credited as drummer a few times.

** The version of "Smeltin' USA" on ''For Diehards Only'' keeps Jim Pennell's original vocal track, but has a new instrumental backing.

* RevolvingDoorBand: Quite a few membership changes. Founders Jim [=DeCaire=] and Lynn Anderson/Coffey/Bellmore are the longest-lasting members.

** "My First Time Ever" is a four-part vocal arrangement sung entirely by Bellmore.

** Jim Bellmore tends to sing most of his own harmonies, such as the bass vocal on "Yooper Snow Rocket".

** "Yooper Snow Rocket" shifts to a mostly ''{{a cappella}}'' B-section with only vocals and hand claps.

** "Arm Chair Quarterback" uses the oft-quoted "Rah rah ree, kick 'em in the knee / Rah rah rass, kick 'em in the other knee" cheer during a break.

** Jerry Coffey sang "Super Dooper Yooper Love Machine". He also did a duet with Lynn on "Ridin' da Cotton Pony" and two lines on "Nite Crawler Boogie", and played the role of the father in the half-song, half-skit "I Want a Rinky Dinky Doo Dad for Christmas".

** Dan Collins sang (obviously) "Yooper Cowboy Dan".
** Billy Bob Langson and Pete "Casanova" [=LaLonde=], despite mainly being sketch comedy actors in the band's live shows (and therefore not contributing on albums), split vocal duties with Lynn on "Arm Chair Quarterback".

*** ''Camp Fever'': Glenn sang "Sauna Song" and "Butcher Town"
*** ''Yoop It Up'': Jim [=DeCaire=]'s son Jesse sang "Yooper Kid"
*** ''Songs for Fart Lovers'': As mentioned above, Kim Lenten sings a re-recording of "Diarrhea" (originally sung by Potila on ''Yoop It Up'')
*** ''21st Century Yoopers in Space'': Al "Goofus" Ammesmaki sang "Yooper Love Song", Kim Lenten sang "Got My Sisu Working" and "Designated Driver's Drunk", Jim Stedman sang "It's Cold" and "Nimrod Nation", Barbara Johnson sang "No Black Bloomers", Frank Sarvello sang "I Taught It Was a Buck", Jesse [=DeCaire=] sang "Snow Day", and Tanya Stanaway sang "Tanya's Song".
*** ''Old Age Ain't for Sissies'': Jesse [=DeCaire=] sang "I Tried to Be a Yooper Man", Glenn Adams sang "I'm Old" (pitch-shifted), and Kim Lenten sang "Living in Yooper Paradise".

** Jerry Coffey sang "Super Dooper Yooper Love Machine". He also did a duet with Lynn on "Ridin' da Cotton Pony" and two lines on "Nite Crawler Boogie".

** Jerry Coffey sang "Super Dooper Yooper Love Machine" and two lines on "Nite Crawler Boogie".

Founded in Ishpeming, Michigan in 1975 as Joe Arkansas by drummer Jim [=DeCaire=], guitarist Rodney "Joe" Potila, bassist Jim Pennell, and keyboardist Lynn Anderson, the band achieved local success before self-releasing the album ''Yoopanese'' in 1986. Its followup, ''Culture Shock'', accounted for two of the band's most famous songs: "Rusty Chevrolet" and "Second Week of Deer Camp." Both songs received regional airplay on several radio stations throughout the Great Lakes region, and even appeared on Creator/DrDemento's national radio program. On ''Camp Fever'', Pennell was replaced by Joe [=DeLongchamp=] and Jerry Coffey began contributing on drums and percussion as well; one year later came ''Yoop It Up'', which saw Lynn and Jerry marry. For the most part, the band's repertoire consisted of original content written and produced by [=DeCaire=] and Potila.

Although the band stopped touring after 2013, the three remaining members sporadically continue to record to this day, both in individual projects by Jim Bellmore and occasional material as Da Yoopers.

* EarlyBirdCameo:
** Jim [=DeCaire=]'s son Jesse appeared in a skit at the end of ''Camp Fever'' and sang lead on "Yooper Kid" one album later, while he was still a child. Jesse later played guitar on "Shuckin' da Cob", and would sporadically appear as a guest musician on later albums before becoming their sound tech.
** "Cowboy" Dan Collins sang backing vocals on ''Culture Shock'' and ''One Can Short of a Six Pack'' before becoming an official member on ''We're Still Rockin'''.

** ''Yoopy Do Wah'' is a double example: it was the only album after their first not to include any interstitial comedy skits or guest musicians, and it contains the completely serious ballad "When One Love Dies".

* TruckDriversGearChange: "Wanna Buy an Organ" goes from C Minor on the verses to C major on the chorus.

** Double example with "30 Lb. Diaper": Jerry Coffey sang it in concert for several years, but after he quit, it went to Reggie Lusardi instead. Lusardi also sang the studio version on ''21st Century Yoopers in Space''.

*** ''Old Age Ain't for Sissies'': Jesse [=DeCaire=] sang "I Tried to Be a Yooper Man", Glenn Adams sang "I'm Old", and Kim Lenten sang "Living in Yooper Paradise".

* ''Old Age Is for Sissies!'' (2018)

* TakeThatCritics: "Critics Tune".

* VocalTagTeam / StepUpToTheMicrophone: They are ''all over'' this trope. Jim [=DeCaire=], Joe Potila, and Jim Bellmore usually did the vocals, but nearly every album had at least one song sung by Lynn. Among the official members, there were several rotations:

* RobotGirl: The title of a song on their debut album.

Founded in 1975 by Jim [=DeCaire=] (drums), Joe Potila (guitar), Jim Pennell (bass), and Lynn Anderson (keyboards), the band achieved local success before self-releasing the album ''Yoopanese'' in 1986. Its followup, ''Culture Shock'', accounted for two of the band's most famous songs: "Rusty Chevrolet" and "Second Week of Deer Camp." Both songs received regional airplay on several radio stations throughout the Great Lakes region, and even appeared on Creator/DrDemento's national radio program. Subsequent albums didn't produce nearly as much regional success, but the band continued to tour until 2013.

The band is known for singing songs primarily dealing with rural life in the Upper Peninsula, including topics such as drinking beer, hunting, dealing with long winters, drinking more beer, eating Swedish and Finnish food, and more beer. Live shows included acting from stagehands, who dressed up in various costumes and performed skits between songs. They also own a "Tourist Trap" museum outside of their home base of Ishpeming, Michigan.

Although the band effectively stopped recording in TheNewTens, Bellmore has posted some solo work on Bandcamp, some of which features his bandmates.

* ''Yoopy Do Wah'' (1991). First release on CD.

* Jim Bellmore (guitar, bass guitar, various other instruments, vocals)

* Jim "Hoolie" [=DeCaire=] (drums, percussion, vocals)

* Dave "Doc" Bradbury (bass guitar, vocals). Left shortly after Bellmore joined.
* Jerry "Cuppa" Coffey (drums, percussion, vocals). Lynn was married to him from the late 1980s to the mid-2000s.
* "Cowboy" Dan Collins (rhythm guitar, vocals). First appeared as a backing vocalist on ''Culture Shock'' and ''One Can Short of a 6-Pack'', but became an official member shortly before ''We're Still Rockin'''.
* Joe [=DeLongchamp=] (bass guitar, vocals). Replaced by Doc Bradbury around 1990.
* Reggie Lusardi (bass guitar, vocals). Joined as a touring bassist in the late 1990s, although Bellmore often played bass on the albums. Died May 8, 2016.
* Jim Pennell (bass guitar, vocals). Replaced by Joe [=DeLongchamp=] around 1988.
* Joe Potila (guitar, vocals). Left ca. 1995.
* Bobby Symons (drums)

Former sketch comedy actors who didn't contribute instruments over the years included Jim Boyer, Matt Bullock, Dick "Dick-E-Bird" Bunce, Steve Calhoun, Art Davis, Chris Kukla, Jerry "Mungo" [=LaJoie=], Pete "Casanova" [=LaLonde=], "Billy Bob" Langson, Robert "Dill" Nebel, and Mike "Mikku" Powers. For a short time, Bunce also played bass on a few songs.

* LeadBassist: Everyone who has ever played bass for the band (except for Dick Bunce) has sung at least one lead vocal. In an inversion, Jim Bellmore often played bass in-studio alongside his guitar (and sometimes other instrument) playing, usually to tracks he sang lead on.

* LocalReference: They frequently name-drop a lot of the smaller former mining towns in the UP. Some songs also reference businesses with a strong presence in the area, such as the reference to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shopko Shopko]] stores in "Rusty Chevrolet".

** ''Culture Shock'', despite containing the very famous "Rusty Chevrolet" and "Second Week of Deer Camp", still contains some weirdness. Notably, some tracks still have Lynn playing a synthesizer ("Last Frontier" even has a drum machine, something the band never used again); "Chiquito War" continues to show a mild science-fiction theme; and the B-side is dominated by Finnish folk songs performed by guests. Also, "Rusty Chevrolet" and "Second Week of Deer Camp" are examples themselves despite being among their most famous songs, as the former is a parody, and the latter is "traditional" folk with only a gutbucket bass and accordion.
** ''Camp Fever'' has the band mostly shifted to its most famous sound, but there are still a couple Finnish folk songs performed on folksy instrumentation such as a gutbucket, jugs, and spoons. By ''Yoop It Up'', everything was in place.

** They changed bassists twice within their first decade of recording, and some of the songs on their second and third albums don't even have bass parts. Bellmore played all the bass parts on ''We're Still Rockin''' due to it being recorded after Bradbury left, and while they later hired Reggie Lusardi as a touring bassist, Bellmore usually continued to play most of the bass parts in-studio.

** The protagonist of "Diarrhea" thinks it's only gas, so he lets one rip and ruins his brand new pants.
** Happens in the skit "Santa's Helper", where the title helper offers burps and farts as gifts. Upon being asked for one more, he strains to make one last fart and ends up soiling himself instead.

* SameLanguageDub: They released a music video for "Rusty Chevrolet" in the early 1990s, featuring the group's then-lineup of Jim [=DeCaire=], Joe Potila, Lynn Coffey, Doc Bradbury, and Jerry Coffey. However, the latter two were not in the band at the time the song was released, and [=DeCaire=] didn't play anything on it, so Jim D., Doc, and Jerry are lip-syncing to parts that they didn't actually sing. Much later, after Jim Bellmore joined, they released the video compilation ''It's About Time, Eh!'', mostly composed of songs released before his joining, resulting in him (and a few others) lip-syncing to parts that they never sang.

** "When One Love Dies" on ''Yoopy Do Wah'', a straight-up serious song about a deceased lover. The album itself may be an example, as it was the only one after their first not to include interstitial skits or guest performers.

* ToiletHumor: Not just the ''Fart Lovers'' album, but also "Diarrhea" (self-explanatory), "Lonely Yooper" (character hides in an outhouse during an affair and gets crapped on), etc.

* VocalTagTeam / StepUpToTheMicrophone: They are ''all over'' this trope. Jim [=DeCaire=], Joe Potila, and Jim Bellmore usually did the vocals, but nearly every album had at least one song from a female perspective sung by Lynn. (Rare exception: Lynn sang "Nudsie's Wedding Reception" which has no gender-specific content.) Among the official members, there were several rotations:

** Double example with "30 Lb. Diaper". Jerry Coffey sang it in concert for several years, but after he quit, it went to Reggie Lusardi instead. Lusardi also sang the studio version on ''21st Century Yoopers in Space''.

** Billy Bob Langson and Pete "Casanova" [=LaLonde=], despite mainly being sketch comedy actors, sang part of "Armchair Quarterback".

*** ''Culture Shock'': Bertha and Elaine Hintsala sang "Iso Sika", Glenn Adams did half of the spoken-word verses on "Dear Mr. Governor", and Sandy Kemppa sang "Da Couch Dat Burps" (one of the only female-perspective songs ''not'' sung by Lynn).

*** ''Songs for Fart Lovers'' features a re-recording of "Diarrhea" with new vocals by Kim Lenten. This version was previously featured on the video compilation ''It's About Time, Eh!''

*** On ''Old Age Ain't for Sissies'', Jesse [=DeCaire=] sang "I Tried to Be a Yooper Man", Glenn Adams sang "I'm Old", and Kim Lenten sang "Living in Yooper Paradise".

* FatAndProud: A recurring trope, seen in songs such as "Beer Gut" and "You're My Porky Babe".

* LocalReference: They frequently name-drop a lot of the smaller former mining towns in the UP, as well as businesses with a strong local presence, such as IGA supermarkets and Shopko discount department stores in "Rusty Chevrolet".

** "My First Time Ever" is in the style of a barbershop quartet, with Jim Bellmore singing all four parts.

** Jerry Coffey sang "Super Dooper Yooper Love Machine" and two lines on "Nite Crawler Boogie". He also sang "30 Lb. Diaper" in concert, but after he quit, it became the only song to be sung by Reggie Lusardi[[note]]although concert footage available online shows that he sometimes sang a few lines on live performances of "Fishin wit Fred"[[/note]]. A version sung by Lusardi also appears on ''21st Century Yoopers in Space''.

*** ''Culture Shock'': Bertha and Elaine Hintsala sang "Iso Sika", Glenn Adams did half of the spoken-word verses on "Dear Mr. Governor", and Sandy Kemppa sang "Da Couch Dat Burps".
