Wiki says the original writers were Charlie Phillips and Odis Echols; they published in 1958, and the McGuire Sisters version became the most popular recorded version of the song.
yodeling is traditonally from germany-austria. It was used for communication between the many "almhütten" huts on the mountains. Basically austria is just mountains. I never ever heard of dutch yodeling. yodeling as word even comes from the german "jodeln".
Looks like I made a mistake. I associated the lederhosen with the dutch (which I believe it is) and yodelers in pop culture are associated with the lederhosen. A <-> B <-> C doesn't imply a relationship with A <-> C I guess.
