Dana Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Yeah... dh showed it to me last night. He's paying for it today. He also continues to make the "fox call" on occasion. He may need to be hurt. He heard it on NPR - said they were saying, "You have to see this. Hearing it doesn't do it justice." :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Dup. Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 I just thought it was funny. And very bizarre. And catchy. But mostly just funny. :D Clearly, I need to get out more. :willy_nilly: :hat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny in Florida Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 My daughter showed it to me a few days ago. She's obsessed with Norway, anyway, and is now convinced she must go there immediately, if there's stuff like this happening. We laughed so hard we couldn't breathe.

Chrysalis Academy Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Well, I thought it was freaking hilarious, so guess I'm weird too . . . And my dd7 just said "I wanna watch it again." So we're a houseful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa in SC Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Hysterical! I loved it. I'm weird and proud of it. :D My kids and I have conversations about things like that all the time.

Chrysalis Academy Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Right! It's a serious question! Kids ask stuff like this all the time, right? So to see a video where adult-ish musicians totally played it straight . . . priceless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had that question asked of me too. Also, my 7 year old ds wants to know, "What do deer say? Anything? Or do they just communicate by flicking their tails or something? You know, like how bees dance?" Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinE Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 So not only does the Hive have a Happy Trampy Mommy (and Pappy) Club, but there is also the Weird, Quirky Mommy (and Pappy) Club.

Alice Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I saw yesterday and like it. They had me when I saw them described as the Norwegian version of Flight of the Conchords.

Chrysalis Academy Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 So my girls just came in and acted out an alternative ending. . . dd10 sings "What does the fox say?" then holds out a pretend microphone to dd7, who says (completely deadpan), "Nothing." :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachskittles Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I love this video! It is now on my Facebook and my friends will be tortured by its catchy beat.

Mom in High Heels Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 OMG, I am on the floor! That was hilarious. I'll have to show it to Indy. He'll love it. He's a big fan of Tobuscus. If you like how serious the guys in the OP's video were, you'll love The Dramatic Song. ETA: Just showed the fox video to James Bond and he guffawed. A lot. We also watched his video Stonehenge, which was even more hilarious, but NOT kid friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutor Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 He heard it on NPR - said they were saying, "You have to see this. Hearing it doesn't do it justice." :lol: I heard about it on NPR, too, so I put it on when we got home. The look on my husband's face said (at least) one of the following: 1) "Did you suffer from some sort of head trauma for which we should be seeking emergency treatment?" 2) "What would be a good time for an intervention? I think you have a problem." 3) "Do they make a medication for this?" 4) "Who are you?" I just thought it was funny. And very bizarre. And catchy. But mostly just funny. :D Clearly, I need to get out more. :willy_nilly: :hat: I can sympathize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my young friends linked it in a tweet yesterday. I loved it. But my kids are always rolling their eyes at me for my quirky sense of humor.
