I know this wasn’t the point of the thread, but foxes are canids (belonging to the canidae family, which consists of domestic dogs, wolves, coyotes, etc.). As such, they make similar sounds to dogs. Barks, howls, etc.

Just gonna put in a 2 AM addition to this video before I hit the bed.

The song is produced by Norwegian producer duo Stargate, which might not say much, but the fact that they produced 10 number one hits in the US should at least say something.

The comedy duo had previously done a favor for Stargate, and asked them if they would produce a song about what the fox says. They obviously said yes, the result is delicious.

From the mouth of Ylvis:

> We made a video for one of the guys for his birthday party. So when he agreed, we started to discuss what to do with that kind of production value. Because we’re comedians and what we do is comedy, we didn’t want to use such a production team to try to make a hit sing. We thought it would be more fun to kind of abuse them somehow. We thought, “Hey, we have this old idea about the sound that the fox made, because no one really knows.” So we decided to do that instead of something intelligent, a hit – which kind of backfired.

Do you also wonder what the fox says? We know

The talkshow has hit TV now. Their interviews aren’t that amazing, but they do some pretty funny videos. Yesterday they trapped people in IKEA exhibitions:
