創作背景
伊爾維薩克兄弟是一個挪威的喜劇演員二人組,他們主持的脫口秀電視節目在挪威本地有不少忠實觀眾,而《狐狸叫》原本是他們為了宣傳新一季節目開播而製作的宣傳歌曲。這首歌猶如童謠的歌詞注定了它的搞笑色彩。 在接受MTV台採訪時,歌曲原唱伊爾維薩克兄弟還戲稱:“我們剛寫完《狐狸叫》時就在想,它一定要打敗Lady Gaga。”這雖然是一句玩笑,但仍然可以看出兩人對自己“神曲”的信心。

Ancient mystery
Somewhere deep in the woods

Will we ever know?
Will always be a mystery
What do you say?
You're my guardian angel
hiding in the woods
what is your sound?
Will we ever know?
I want to I want to I want to know
歌曲MV
歌曲《狐狸叫》一開始好似唱兒歌般總結了一批常見動物的叫聲,緊接著Ylvis和一群戴著狐狸面具的舞者出現在挪威森林中,伴隨搞怪的舞步,他們用無厘頭的唱腔演繹了狐狸叫聲的多種版本。《狐狸叫》的重點即在於“狐狸到底怎么叫”。在MV中,伴隨搞怪的舞步,他們用無厘頭的唱腔演繹了狐狸叫聲的多種版本,從“鈴叮叮叮叮格鈴格叮”到“哇啪啪啪啪啪泡”,出現了各種擬聲辭彙。我喜歡的一句是:“Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringedding!gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!What does the fox say?Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!What does the fox say?Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!”。
社會影響
商家們也紛紛表示萬聖節前的狐狸服裝銷量比往年增加了一倍還不止,不少店鋪的促銷廣告語也隨之改為:“想要在今年的萬聖節奪人眼球,打扮成狐狸就對了!”好萊塢影帝摩根·弗里曼,在上周末的一檔電視節目裡為了宣傳自己的新片在觀眾面前大聲朗讀《狐狸叫》的歌詞。
某年萬聖節晚上,一位牛人製作用一幢別墅配上《The Fox(狐狸叫)》的音樂,受到了很多人關注。
