It's not often I bury today's post because I saw the most amazing music video of all time and I have to share it immediately.
But here we are.
It's called "The Fox" and it was made by two guys from Norway called Ylvis to promote their talk show.
It's about animal sounds ("dog goes woof, cat goes meow…"), so it will not just become your favorite song, your mother's favorite song, your spouse's favorite song, and your boss's favorite song, it also has that rare potential to become your child's favorite song as well.
More importantly, if your child ever asks, "But what does the fox say?", you will know EXACTLY how to answer…
Wow. This is what happens when a lot of drugs, some sleep deprivation, and some really bad pizza collide with parenthood, isn’t it? But AwesomeAwful, and just plain Awesome all at the same time. Now I’m going to play it for the kids……;)
This is HYSTERICAL!! I may be slightly pissed though because it’s kind of catchy and I may have the refrain running through my brain for the rest of the day. Thanks a bunch, Mommy Shorts.
Love the blog , it has brought me lots of laughs on my bad days! Thank you!
I…I don’t even know what to say about what I just saw.
Except that my 11 year old immediately started singing along and now asked me to put the song on his iPod.
And now he won’t stop singing, “What the fox say!”
Curse you, MommyShorts.
I am crying from laughing so hard. I think my co-workers think I am having an episode of some sorts.
When I clicked on this, the entire household came to a standstill, and ended up next to me watching the video. We were all amused, but my 3 yr old had this skeptical look the whole time. When it was over, she shook her head and walked away. Thanks for the laugh!
I have foxes roaming through my neighborhood and I can honestly say I’ve never heard a fox sound like that.
But I love this video and I’m going to be jamming to it in my head all day long.
The fox says this, which is pretty much the same noise your dog makes if you step on its tail: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxLHUxzEoRU
Warning: This flipped out my cat, who lived his first two years in the woods. Feline PTSD.
I’m not sure what to say… ?!?! Should I laugh? should I be terrified? That was the most bizarrely awesome thing I’ve seen. Can’t wait to see how my 3 year old reacts.
I think I peed myself.. I will also never read an animal sounds book again. this obviously has solved that issue. *snort*
What a way to brighten my morning at the office! That was HYSTERICAL!
What the f*ck was that? AWESOME, hysterically awesome
Feline PTSD. I’m dying over here. too funny!
Hilarious! My two year old ran over to watch the video with me. HAHA!
This…. this has changed my life…. I don’t know if I will ever be the same….
I want to know why the seal says “ow ow ow ow”; are they clubbing it? This video is too funny.
Why is this so damn catchy?!
I was so not expecting that, but I love it!
It’s time to bring back that tired old internet adjective: EPIC.
Feline PTSD is killing me too! Bwahahaha! Almost bust a gut on that one. That made my day.
I think this would give my daughter nightmares or at the very least, a seizure because of the strobe lights. Ha!
My husband was singing the chorus after watching this. 🙂 and Jen Singer’s addition of the yipping fox video is priceless.
This. Is. Epic. My childless friends want to have kids just so they can watch this again…..
Oh my god. That’s terrifying. Plus, I think I just woke the baby. Damn you RED FOX!
A wowser! I loved it (had mixed emotions of being 20 and a 30+ with a kid). Loved the “fox” out of it. I wil probably wait to show it to the kid beacuase I am one of those. . . love you for finding entertainment! beacause I have no life. . . (do as I say but not as I do . . ha!)
serouisly. I love this. than you for keeping me entertained. I am going to listen to this a few more/ 100 times.
I downloaded this to my kids iPod and he listened to it (by his count) 45 times yesterday.
ALso… a kid with a slight speech problem singing “What the FOX say” sounds a little like something else. I see a lot of “nononononono… he said FOX… FOX, like the animal?” in my future.
my dog was sleeping,, immediately shot his head up, stood up stockstill, trotted over, did the “confused-dog-head-tilt”, has not made any sounds himself but is staring at me with somewhat panicked, beseeching eyes, kind of like in a ” I am not sure, but are dog zombies coming? Must be quiet and cute so they eat Master first” way.
Now we know what the fox says! http://now.msn.com/what-the-fox-actually-says-video-sets-records-straight

Im pretty sure those were “furries” in the begining
This is the greatest.
Most people know what a fox says. The song is meant to be fun. Why do people have to take everything so literally? Get a life
