If you haven’t heard the song The Fox on YouTube, you have better go check it out now. It’s been out for only half a month but has gained a whopping 36 million views!
The Norwegian band, Ylvis, consisting of two brothers, creates comedy in their music through the use of either contrast or shock value. In this case, the beautiful harmonic melody is accompanied by simple, childish lyrics pondering the true sound a fox makes. There is no way to describe the hilarity in words, though. It is simply something that needs to be seen and heard.
I especially admire this song because it achieves humour without the use of profanity or course language! So rare it is to see anything that is able to do that these days! It is family friendly and suitable for all ages.
And yes, I will be blasting this song in the car driving 80 down Shaganappi, windows down and bass up 😉
