Two Norwegian talk show hosts, Bård Ylvisåker and Vegard Ylvisåker produced and sing what is likely to become the hit of the summer – love it or hate it.
Update (Oct 16) – the song has reached as high as No. 6 in the Billboard charts and a lengthy article in the NYTimes has been dedicated to Ylvis....
[Verse 1: Bård]
Dog goes "woof", cat goes "meow"
Bird goes "tweet" and mouse goes "squeak"
Cow goes "moo", frog goes "croak"
And the elephant goes "toot"
[Pre-Chorus: Bård]
Ducks say "quack" and fish go "blub"
And the seal goes "ow ow ow"
But there's one sound that no one knows
[Chorus: Bård]
What does the fox say?
"Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!"
What the fox say?
"Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!"
What the fox say?
"Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!
Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!
Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!"
What the fox say?
"Joff-tchoff-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff!
Tchoff-tchoff-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff!
Joff-tchoff-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff!"
What the fox say?
[Verse 2: Vegard]
Big blue eyes, pointy nose
Chasing mice and digging holes
Tiny paws up the hill
Suddenly you're standing still
[Pre-Chorus: Bård & Vegard, Bård]
Your fur is red, so beautiful
Like an angel in disguise
But if you meet a friendly horse
Will you communicate by
Mo-o-o-o-orse?
Mo-o-o-o-orse?
Mo-o-o-o-orse?
How will you speak to that
Ho-o-o-o-orse?
Ho-o-o-o-orse?
Ho-o-o-o-orse?
[Chorus: Bård]
What does the fox say?
"Jacha-chacha-chacha-chow!
Chacha-chacha-chacha-chow!
Chacha-chacha-chacha-chow!"
What the fox say?
"Fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow!
Fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow!
Fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow!"
What the fox say?
"A-hee-ahee ha-hee!
A-hee-ahee ha-hee!
A-hee-ahee ha-hee!"
What the fox say?
"A-oo-oo-oo-ooo! Woo-oo-oo-ooo!"
What does the fox say?
[Bridge: Vegard & Bård]
The secret of the fox, ancient mystery
Somewhere deep in the woods
I know you're hiding
What is your sound? Will we ever know?
Will always be a mystery
What do you say?
[Outro: Bård]
You're my guardian angel hiding in the woods
What is your sound?
(Wa-wa-way-do Wub-wid-bid-dum-way-do Wa-wa-way-do)
Will we ever know?
(Bay-budabud-dum-bam)
I want to
(Mama-dum-day-do)
I want to, I want to know!
(Abay-ba-da bum-bum bay-do la)
