Dogs woof, cats meow, birds tweet and mice squeak, but what about the fox? What does he say? That is the question being asked in a hilarious viral music video called "The Fox."

How can a video of a guy wearing a fox suit singing "wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow" get so viral?

Their viral music video uncannily reproduces the clichés of today’s pop music, both musically (the broken “oh-oh-oh” à la Kesha) and lyrically (“Your fur is red/ So beautiful/ Like an angel in disguise”).

"The Fox" all started when the Ylvis brothers were trying to come up with ideas for the new season of their TV show

Interesting fact to know: The guys that produced "The Fox" are the guys who produced Rihanna's "Diamonds"

Stargate is a record producing & songwriting duo, also from Norway, based in NYC. They have produced some of the biggest billboard hits since the millennium, including Ne-Yo’s “So Sick,” Beyonce’s “Beautiful Liar,” Katy Perry’s “Firework,” & Rihanna’s “S&M.”

The Ylvis brothers had done a mockumentary as a friend service for one of the producers, and the deal was that they’d get a day in the studio in return.
