Today I forgot that I was going to do this. Then I happened to look at my fb memories and saw the post I made on being thankful in 2017. So that’s very good!

I’m thankful for a lot of songs! But I’m going to write about a very good one. The Fox. It’s hard to believe I have enjoyed that song for 11 years now. I remember the first time I saw it. I thought the guy in it was pretty funny. Another song by him popped up on my youtube page and I clicked that too. Stonehenge. I thought that was very funny. And I noticed that the guy in The Fox was actually two guys, since I’d only focused on Bård the first time I saw it, and Vegard was obviously a different guy in Stonehenge. That’s what really sent me on the deep dive.

I watched their music videos, then some of their live shows, then all the transcribed episodes I could find of I Kveld Med Ylvis, their late night talk show. Since then, I’ve stayed a fan, watching them in everything I could find. I’ve even spent a long time slowly learning Norwegian, so I can hopefully understand the stuff that’s only in Norsk…eventually.

My interest has also led me to other Norwegian artists, and a fascination with their culture. I’m hoping that one day I will get to visit Norway and see Ylvis in concert myself!

Enjoying Ylvis has really been fun for me. Their sense of humor strikes my funny bone and consists of some of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. It’s gotten me through some hard times. And I also love sharing it with others, even though no one else seems quite as passionate about them. My family does enjoy watching Ylvis with me, though.

Hooray for The Fox!
