Young Man Who Wants Nothing More Than To Stay In His Podunk Town But Keeps Getting Dragged Away

You know what I think is really cool about language (English in this case)? It’s the way you can express “I don’t know” without opening your mouth. All you have to do is hum a low note, a high note, then another lower note. The same goes for yes and no. Does anyone know what this is called?
