Wacky Wednesday vibes commence!
So, what makes “The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)” so special? The musical backdrop is sweet, helping to fuel Ylvis’ fire. The sound is characteristic of dance-pop and electro-pop with its keys, synths, and programming. As, if not more intriguing, are the lyrics, sung by both Bård and Vegard. In the first verse and pre-chorus, Bård teaches us about the sounds that various animals make. “Dog goes ‘woof’, cat goes ‘meow,’” he sings, adding, “Ducks say ‘quack’ and fish go ‘blub’ / And the seal goes ‘ow ow ow.’” Word. But, this song is about only one animal, in all of its glory – the fox! In both choruses, the fox makes some unusual sounds:
“Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
… Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
…Jacha-chacha-chacha-chow!
Fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow!
What does the fox say?”
