In this deeply-mystical video (already hailed as ‘song of the summer’ by Gawker), called ‘The Fox’, the chorus asks the existential question of ‘what the fox say?’ and tries to present an array of onomatopoeic suggestions – ranging from “ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding” and “joff-tchoff-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff” to “Fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow.” Whether a simple bark can or should be interpreted under assumptions of melodic affinities of the Fox, is best left to Tom Reagan. Meanwhile, you – please (re)watch video.
** ‘The Fox’ by the Norwegian duo Ylvis is the newest music video to go viral on the Internet. Within 2 days of its release, it amassed 2.2 million views on YouTube alone.

I do not think “toot” is the right word for an elephant. But “the fish goes blub” is definitely a poetic truth for the ages.
Hehehe …right on. I also propose to replace the 14th amendment with these lines “Fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow”.
Ooooh… feisty. Ring-ing-ding-ding-dingeringeding!!
