Gone Viral: What Does The Fox say?

By: Britt Turkington

Norwegian entertainment duo Ylvis seeks an answer to a mind numbing, pre-school question with a video that has gone viral: What Does The fox Say?.

The video has received over a million views in the few days it has been on YouTube. It was originally created to promote the new season of their talk show but instead it's become what 'Gawker' calls "the song of the summer," despite the fact it was released in September.

I have to admit, when I first saw this video I really just wanted to turn it off. It turns out they may be on to something. As a writer for The Washington Post puts it: "This combines everything that a music video should have: Autotune, attractive people gyrating rhythmically in the woods, and basic, child-level facts about animals!"

The brothers have explored the music scene before to ask another burning question about the meaning of Stonehenge. You can check out that video below and more on their YouTube channel here.



I guess you know what I'll be singing to bug my co-workers here at Geeks By Day... "Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding..."
