    All Ylvis songs should be compiled and be made into a broadway musical. This needs to happen.

      Before they did music videos and the talk show, they were performing artists, doing sketches and musical-style funny bits (mostly in norwegian though). Check out "YLVIS 3", with skits like "9/11 on ice", or "I can be a hero" in english ;)

    "Who has never seen a hunk on a bus and thought 'hmm, I wanna sit on your lap'" is possibly one of the most wonderful lyrics ever written in history in the field of mirth.

      "Suddenly you're sucking on a c*ck!" "Home of Nelson Mandela!"😆
      Sometimes I swear these guys just wanna troll the people watching/listening/singing along. "People will sing anything if the song is catchy" is probably the unspoken motto of Ylvis. :D

    I grew up in MA. Spent my first 26 years there. That shot - right at the first Chorus - of the three guys sitting at a crossroads in front of a Bank Of America ATM at dusk - is the perfect representation in one shot of every Worcester/Boston suburb. Amazingly representative.

      I hope that was meant as a compliment. As someone from MA, I'm really proud of how we were the first state to legalize gay marriage, and I hope the state can continue to work towards being a safe space for LGBTQ people to live without persecution. Plus we have Barney Frank, and he's pretty cool.

      I trust you have been on an Ylvis binge? I'm not deep into Toto but I get a vibe of that in this song. They're buddies with Stargate producers (Rhianna Sia etc) so I just assume they can call in amazing studio artists. I have a great affection for The Cabin by Ylvis too, and of course... oh lord: The Josh Groban-ish "Stonehenge". Vegard replaced Josh Groban on stage in a Norwegian concert to mess with the audience.

    The section with the slap bass, deep chords, and lyrics "prudential tower, city hall, and the lighthouse by the bay" has SO much energy. I love it, but I have no idea how to find more music like that. Can anyone recommend some artists. I LOVE those chords because the've got tension, but sass and confidence at the same time.

      To their credit, though, there is a dance school in that part of Ayer.
