What does the fox say?

 

"The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)" is an electronic dance novelty song and viral video by Norwegian comedy duo Ylvis. The top trending video of 2013 on YouTube,[3][4] "The Fox" was posted on the video-sharing website on 3 September 2013, and has received over 590 million views as of April 2016.[5] "The Fox" peaked at the top of the Norwegian Singles Chart and was hugely successful in the United States, where it peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks,[6][7] and was before the US release of "Am I Wrong" by Nico & Vinz, the highest-ranked song by a Norwegian artist on the chart since A-ha's number-one song "Take on Me" in 1985.

Originally an "anti-hit" produced as a part of the duo's new season of Norwegian television talk show I kveld med YLVIS(Tonight with Ylvis) and uploaded on YouTube as a teaser,[8] "The Fox", "created to fail",[9] has ironically and accidentally gone viral, becoming Ylvis' "breakout" song and drawing international attention to the group. There are currently no plans to release an album including the song or any sequel to it.[10][11]

Production[edit]
The brothers Vegard and Bård Ylvisåker, members of the Norwegian comedy group Ylvis, produced the song and music video "The Fox" to promote their upcoming third season of I kveld med Ylvis on TVNorge. In an interview with Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten, the brothers stated that the idea of a song about a fox was originally conceived in 2012, but then shelved. Half a year later, in 2013, Bård and lyricist Christian Løchstøer began to play with the idea once again. Vegard was initially skeptical about making a song about a fox, but soon relented.[12] In an interview on the Norwegian-Swedish talk show Skavlan, the brothers mentioned that given the opportunity to collaborate with Stargate, they originally wanted to make a dance song about men who cannot dance or dread dancing and named it "The Dancing Stick", but felt that the idea was "too clever," and that they would appear to be trying to make a hit. The idea was therefore scrapped and "The Fox" got produced instead.[13]

Bård described the writing process for "The Fox" in an interview with Billboard in the United States: "The way we work is we just sit around and talk about things and get ideas and take some notes. I guess we must have been talking about what sound a fox makes. And then we had a chance to work with Stargate, a Norwegian production company based in New York City... We actually did a favor for them and we asked them if they could produce a song for the new season in exchange".[10] Tor Erik Hermansen of Stargate recalled in an interview with Spin that the favor was actually a mockumentary done by the Ylvisåker brothers to celebrate Mikkel Storleer Eriksen's 40th birthday, in which they pretended to be the Stargate duo.[14] Australian producer M4SONIC was also involved in the production.[15]

Bård, being interviewed by Entertainment Weekly, talked about their intention of making "The Fox":

As comedians, it wouldn't be a good thing if we went to pursue a hit in the States because they could potentially make something that became big, so we thought it would be more fun from a comedian perspective to come home to the talk show and say, 'Listen we had the chance, we could've made it big, but the only idea we got for the song was this old idea about what the fox says so we're sorry. We screwed up.' That was the plan... That would've been funny to say on the talk show.[9]

M4SONIC described producing "The Fox":

I was over in the US with a production duo called Stargate working with Sia and Nadia Ali. One of the beats that I made we kinda put to one side as it wasn't really going anywhere. I'd totally forgotten about the track until I stumbled across The Fox video on YouTube. It turned out that Tor and Mikkel (Stargate), who are Norwegian, are friends with Bård and Vegard Ylvisåker (Ylvis). Stargate gave Ylvis a copy of the beat that we made to use for a video they were doing to launch their comedy show in Norway. I think the whole thing kinda 'snowballed' and was an accident on their side as well. No one really thought it would be a top 10 Billboard track![16]

This letter tells a story about power and politics and propaganda, about the tension between respectable, hardworking people and unstable blaguers like Mr. Whgssh . It is a story about Whgssh's efforts to raise extortionate demands. None of what follows is my own original research. Rather, all of it is taken from wiser people than I, and it is these people who deserve the credit for first observing that Whgssh is planning to exploit issues such as the global economic crisis and the increase in world terrorism in order to instigate planet-wide chaos. Planet-wide chaos is his gateway to global tyranny, which will in turn enable him to deliver an additional blow to dignity and self-worth.

Whgssh would have us believe that he can walk on water. Not surprisingly, his evidence for that thoroughly callow claim is top-heavy with anonymous sources and, to put it mildly, he has a checkered track record for accuracy. I allege it would be more accurate for Whgssh to say that if he can one day excoriate attempts to bring questions of ruffianism into the (essentially apolitical) realm of pedagogy in language and writing then the long descent into night is sure to follow. It seems to me that he is both cynical and stiff-necked. Now there's a dangerous combination if I've ever seen one. Whgssh has been unleashing the forces of desperadoism upon an unsuspecting populace. It's time to even the score. I suggest that we begin by notifying people of the fact that Whgssh has a strategy. His strategy is to shift our society from a culture of conscience to a culture of consensus. Wherever you encounter that strategy, you are dealing with Whgssh.

Whgssh is desperate to convince us that his adversaries are aligned with very dark and malevolent fourth-dimensional aliens known as Draconians. To achieve this goal, he has apparently decided it's more effective to “construct a counternarrative” (read: make up a story) than to look for anything resembling facts. This worries me because I believe we should knock down Whgssh's house of cards. By “house of cards,” I'm referring to the fragile, highly unstable, and obtrusive framework of lies on which Whgssh's popularity is based. Without that framework, people everywhere would come to realize that if Whgssh opened his eyes, he'd realize that I am tired of him pretending there's nothing wrong with creating a world without history, without philosophy, without science, without reason—a world without beauty of any kind, without art, without literature, without culture. I am tired of his twisting my words six ways for Sunday. I am tired of too many things to mention here and now, but I will say this: I would never take a job working for Whgssh. Given his frowsy inveracities, who would want to?

Whgssh argues that he has a “special” perspective on hucksterism that carries with it a “special” right to change this country's moral infrastructure. This is an entertaining statement, perhaps, except that when taken at face value it presages a likely attempt by Whgssh to undermine the basic values of work, responsibility, and family. I have traveled the length and breadth of this country and talked with the best people. I can therefore assure you that he should learn to appreciate what he has instead of feeling so oppressed because he can't do everything he wants every time he wants to.

Although Whgssh likes to pontificate about how he would never dream of making bargains with the devil, the truth is that his values are clear testimony to the fact that we see the same kind of phenomenon—less obvious, perhaps, but distinctly perceptible—in almost all areas of activity in which he chooses to participate. That may sound unbelievable, but it's the truth. Another unbelievable but true statement is that the reckless, pretentious philosophasters that comprise Whgssh's coterie are as thick as thieves. If one of them is willing to guarantee the destruction of anything that looks like a vital community, then they all are. What's more, none of them is able to accept that Whgssh can't fool me. I've met cantankerous, pharisaical losers before so I know that the picture I am presenting need not be confined to Whgssh's morals. It applies to everything he says and does. It is time for someone to take the initiative to create a tension in the mind so that individuals can rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal. Will that someone be you?
