Its actually so much funnier when you know the backstory. They had recieved hate mail from a random guy who was mad that they hadn't included anything about Jan Egelands birthday which was on the same day as one of their episodes. They responded by making this extremely over the top tribute which is hilarious!
Seems like he found out about this in a meeting or something...they rolled the video just before starting the conference. That's even better, if you ask me
That's right (which is actually pretty cool if you ask me :D) but I think he first heard from his nephew who was in the arena where Ylvis first played it he once said in an interview
I literally came back to this video after hearing him talking about Israel/Gaza on the radio today. Still saving the world, one macho musclepump at a time ❤
This guy isn't a joke, I looked him up he's done some really amazing things in the name of protecting human rights, negotiating peace treaties and cease fires, as well as providing aid to victims of war and natural disasters. I've gained a new role model to learn from. Thanks Ylvis for making this awesome song about an amazing man.
+Charles Stoltz IF he participated in Oslo agreement... Well, some people here in Israel doing counting on of victims of that agreement. And that count FAR SURPASSED all the war&terror victims from BEFORE that agreement took place :(
I love how Ylvis can be comical in their own lyrics but at the same time still showcase their musical prowess and beautiful voices. Also, I love how they experiment with different genres and voices. God, I am jealous of their amazing talent!
Rudy Veegos Have you seen all their newer ones they posted at the end of last year? Although I guess we might have to wait for another I kveld Med Ylvis season for them to do more. The wait is too long lol.I do love the fact that a lot of the lyrics may be silly or be making fun of something but they put so much effort into producing it and making the vocals good that it doesn't matter what they're singing about, even if it is about Yoghurt or Intolerance.
Just watched an interview with Jan Egeland and immediately came here. Glad to see he's still working for peace for the Palestinians :3 I hope he's still taking his protein shakes. He needs the strength
What makes this all the more wholesome is that Vegard supports Palestine so much so that he called for a boycott of Eurovision because Israel was a participant.
Almost every Bollywood movie has a scene where the male protagonist goes to a funeral in unusually heavy rain, and I always sing this part when those scenes come up 😆
a few days ago i've read the tweets from Jan Egelands twitter account and he's out there in Gaza helping palestinensians who suffer from israels and hamas war crimes. The guy deserves every second of this tribute
Today, I heard the news that Norway alongside with Ireland and Spain refused to cut off aid for UNRWA Palestine and I saw Jan Egeland on TV justifying the decision. Thank you Jan for keeping Norway's humanity and dignity. And thank you Ylvis for this great (even just a joke) song. He truly deserved an accolade.
Vegard is actually better as a rockstar than many "real" rock stars. Seriously, listen to this song live. "Crying god!" leaves me speachless every time!
Is there something these guys can't do?!?!?? They can play any instrument,sing any type of music , act , write and compose mind blowing joking songs and literally speak a hundred languages!!!! They are phenomenal!! ⭐️
We live in a crazy world! Vegard Ylvisaker is one of the most versatile singers I've ever heard and yet he refuses to call himself a singer. Yes, he's adorable and funny and I adore him as a comedian, but he should make the world happy and record an album.
@@matiisme I work for one of the Norwegian Refugee Council's missions. So, Jan Egeland is my "supreme boss". And last autumn he had a working visit to my country, so I had an opportunity to meet him in person.
+Diane Diaz Dude. You do realize that Guitars work on 12v right? They don't even draw that much current from the amp. The amp however runs on mains but he was clearly NOT touching it.
I love this song! I can't stop listining it! This song is better than Fox! Vagard's voice is just grat! Ang Bard's guitar playing? Oh my God!! Super! Ylvis you are the best!
Jebu911 He is the Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council and was the United Nations Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator.
I have no idea who the guy is or the context of this particular song, but *damn*. I actually get legit goosebumps, especially at around 3:52 -- Vegard's voice is fucking flawless.
Red Do Yes, I'm still listening to it. I fell in love with this song before ? two years, I think, I respect Ylvis and their other work, but this song is something extraordinary.in many aspects. And I find it so interesting and beautiful, that really think I'll never stop listening to it.
+iva sky The thing about Ylvis is that even though they make this for commedy and parody sake, they put a lot of work into the song making it great without the commedy/parody part. Great singing, melody,. riffs, solos and singing.
haha thanks to this song I found out that Jan Egeland was actually part of the peace treaty with the guerrilla in my country. Funny how you come to learn history.
I didn´t know he was part of the treaty. It´s great to know new things everyday. As for that Luke I´m certain he knows well about his country history...
@@h.zs.1713 firm hands, nice legs, I how I wish to be Jan Egelund. I myself was sarcastic. So I do not understand what "nobody" means. Read once again what I have wrote.
Eivind Ludviksen actually, "That moment when a song is written as a joke becomes one of your favorite" is completely incorrect, even moreso than the original. The original has the correct word in the wrong tense, but yours has an extra word. It should be "that moment when a song written as..." not IS written. If you did not mean "is" as part of the sentence, you meant to say "It [the correct word] is written," then you are still wrong because "is written" is a meaningless sentence fragment. I think the lesson here should be, refrain from correcting other people's grammar online - unless you are pointing out that a correction is in fact wrong and should never have been made. From your name it looks like English might be your second language, if so that is awesome and you know twice as many languages as most americans, (I know Spanish at least,) so be happy with that and don't bother saving internet grammar.
i only know the fox. am here to learn more and they are singing for a crazy man near my village who tries to make an aeroplane with a car engine. well i feel like i am in cadid camera as of now.
I think it's because pop music is so weak nowadays that when The Fox hit mainstream, people believed it was for real, and they had confused feelings towards it. They found it funny, catchy, but were not willing to admit because they thought it was ridiculous.
Came back to this because it popped into my head randomly after all these years. Thank you for imprinting this song about a Norwegian politician on my impressionable 15 year old brain
Of course this is comedy and all that but honestly there's something strangely wholesome about making a song to (even satirically) honor the modern day accomplishments of someone who isn't known by most of the world, yet still dedicated much of his life to world peace.
Jag kommer från Sverige och älskar alla dem här låtarna! Jag tycker också att det är jättekul när de sjunger om något och kommer in på något helt annat. FORTSÄTT MED DETTA! ( :
I just recently learned that Egeland was an initiator of the peace in Coumbia as well (this years Nobel Peace Prize goes to the Columbian president). What a man!
AaA WwW Now he is, but in the golden ages of Guns N Roses...He cause eargasms across the 7 seas. He was the original fan lord. The creator of all boy bands, master of the lyrical tide...He was, Axel.
they are awesome and their voices are perfect, they dont sing something mainstream like every1 else, that's the real talent.. to have voices like these and to make people happy at the same time..every1 should respect these guys!
Got my wife of 50 years hooked on these guys. She couldn't stand the The Fox song but I convinced her to listen to some of the others. She's addicted now and loves everything they do from the train horn on the electric car to Mass without produce.... They are amazing,
GOSH WHAT A VOICE!!, this guy is a genious in what he does, he basically covers the best commercial track styles and put it as a comedy but still having the vital elements to make it to the top...seriously what a voice and musician
"...crying GOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDD" *bam* mind = blown. Goddammit that guy can sing. Amazing how Ylvis can make parodies that are actually better than most 'normal' songs within a genre.
Damn I love those Guys! You both made my day for so many times! I work as a paramedic in Germany and listen to your music in the ambulance with a smile on my face!
These folks are so talented... it's amazing. I am so glad the silly spoof, What the Fox Says, became a worldwide hit. I am enjoying all of their varied styles - music, singing, comedy, acting, talk show, tricks... Carry on Ylvis!!
These guys are great. Not many can combine such intelligent fun, perfect imitation of a musical style up to the smallest detail and all the cliches: the harmonizer effect of the electric guitar during the solo, the solo itself, the "a capella part", the acoustic introduction, the voice impostation, the lyrics (only that instead of glorifying brute force they mock it). It's just perfect!! Great production too. I wonder who they hired for the solo.. As someone down there commented, it really makes me want to learn Norwegian just to see their shows.
Ignacio Francisco Ramírez not to break your bubble, but they have stopped sending thier show. and all of the songs they make was for the talkshow they had
@@snurlesprutt4232 Well, yeah. They stopped sending their show so they could focus on inventing a new genre of television, the musical documentary, with Stories from Norway, so it's not like they stopped making music videos.
The best thing is that it's not supposed to be serious song, but it still beats the shit out of nowadays "artists" like Lil Wayne, Nicky Minaj, Justin Bieber etc. :)
Haha! This comment nails it so completely! (But I find Justin Bieber a very good singer. And he has some fantastic songs...) Thanks for this wonderful comment! And. Thumbs up for Egeland!
It might not be aimed to be a serious song, but apposed to today's musicians who only sing about the size of their genitals and the amount of drugs they take, this song at least has something to say: It honors a great man who (although not as overdone as in the song) works as hard as he can to regain peace on this earth
BoarhideGaming very true, its nice to see a good song like this dedicated to someone who actually deserves the recognition, I would rather see more songs like this than some girl singing a generic song about an ex boyfriend or songs ofnhe "shake yo bootay" variety
I bet that every politician world wide would wish they had Ylvis running their campaign... I know this was just for a joke, but it would have been such a great strategy if he was trying to get somewhere...
Simply the best of Ylvis' songs imo. And incidentally if you don't think this thing is justified, ready the guy's life story. It's legitimately insane. Hats off to the group and the subject.
SHA8UTIE Well depends on how high can he go in falsetto but I see your logic. The whole chorus part is just impressive overal, just that falsetto note caught me off guard, wasn't expecing that.
Alohappyface Paulpen He spoke about it when he was a guest at the Ylvis talkshow, i dont remember exactly what he said, but hes a cool guy and he thinks its funny :)
Alohappyface Paulpen Hehe no problem :) Yes indeed they did, and a while after they even played the song live at a UN employee party if im not mistaken.
What i like about this is that 200-300 years from now (assuming we last that long) some random kids on the internet will rediscover this video and be so damn curious about who this person was that they'll look him up. All the other politicians and world leaders will be relegated to literal history books and for the most part lost to history. But because this guy's done such a good job that comedians made an epic song about him that's not just them ripping into the politician (which face it, most deserve...), the kids'll either look him up, or bring it up with history teachers just out of curiousity.

Its actually so much funnier when you know the backstory. They had recieved hate mail from a random guy who was mad that they hadn't included anything about Jan Egelands birthday which was on the same day as one of their episodes. They responded by making this extremely over the top tribute which is hilarious!
jupp and it was BRILLIANT =D
Alexandra Olsen 😄 That sure adds even more value to this song! 👌
Add to that the Oslo treaty plan hasn't worked, and that so far every removal of a dictator in the Middle East made things worse, not better.
How "hating" can be a "hate" mail complaining about the fact that a comedic duo forgot about the birthday of jan egelands?
BRILLIANT
I have no idea who this man is but after listning to this I trust him with my life
I love you :D
Annie Angioletto 🌹
Always trust the Johnny Boy.
Ylvis wow
Me too
Imagine being Jan Egeland and blasting this in your car when you're driving to work. You'd be more pumped than Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 80's.

Or when he was being driven to work as governor of California
Seems like he found out about this in a meeting or something...they rolled the video just before starting the conference. That's even better, if you ask me
booo
That's right (which is actually pretty cool if you ask me :D) but I think he first heard from his nephew who was in the arena where Ylvis first played it he once said in an interview
Where is Jan Egeland when the world needs him the most? 💗
he's currently involved in protecting human rights in gaza, if that's what you mean
I literally came back to this video after hearing him talking about Israel/Gaza on the radio today. Still saving the world, one macho musclepump at a time ❤
I wish Ylvis would make a comeback. The world needs you guys.
Just wait!! It's comming, we have some commercials at TV now these days that they have a come back 😉
They are back. There is new music videos with english sub. On yt

Oof, same here! Twelve years later and he's still riding shotgun on aid trucks. What a machine.
Really happy when I saw he stood for his principles. He does did deserve a song
What makes this all the more wholesome is that Vegard supports Palestine so much so that he called for a boycott of Eurovision because Israel was a participant.
"When he's sad he goes to funerals in unusually heavy rain."
I love that part, every time!
YES!! I can't stop singing it when I am absent minded.
It is probably the opening scene from “The Rock”.
The best part is "unusually" lmao
Almost every Bollywood movie has a scene where the male protagonist goes to a funeral in unusually heavy rain, and I always sing this part when those scenes come up 😆

When I was younger I loved all their songs! I was addicted to all of them, they are really great. I just wish they could be back

RollTideGamer Still better? He used to be better, sure.
RollTideGamer he's actually really, really, REALLY
...bad...
AaA WwW
Now he is, but in the golden ages of Guns N Roses...He cause eargasms across the 7 seas. He was the original fan lord. The creator of all boy bands, master of the lyrical tide...He was, Axel.
Have you listened to their song Shabby Chic?
Hi, France here.
After what happened yesterday, could you please send Jan Egeland to us?
Thanks a lot.
Hi, yes we will send him over as quick as possible.
Regards Norway.
*****
I called dibs.
***** We will have to put you on hold. When he is finished in France, we will send him over to you.
Brett Miller As Shaggy once said : "Wasn't me".
Random Peon Hi, America here! :D
they are awesome and their voices are perfect, they dont sing something mainstream like every1 else, that's the real talent.. to have voices like these and to make people happy at the same time..every1 should respect these guys!
I agree with you beautiful girl!!!!
Agreed, You're hot as shit.. had to point that out.
Got my wife of 50 years hooked on these guys. She couldn't stand the The Fox song but I convinced her to listen to some of the others. She's addicted now and loves everything they do from the train horn on the electric car to Mass without produce.... They are amazing,
I mean, the fox isnt their best, as much as furries deserve a hit.
I can relate to yue wife...
If I was Jan Egeland, I would listen to this every morning before going to work. Would get so fucking pumped.
Teacher: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Me: Jan Egeland.
@Zih Vil you know yogis isn’t his name
GOSH WHAT A VOICE!!, this guy is a genious in what he does, he basically covers the best commercial track styles and put it as a comedy but still having the vital elements to make it to the top...seriously what a voice and musician
Jan Egeland is 60 years old today. Happy birthday Mister Egeland ! Our world needs the United nations superhero man.
It could be one of the greatest rock songs of all time but...
"...crying GOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDD" *bam* mind = blown. Goddammit that guy can sing. Amazing how Ylvis can make parodies that are actually better than most 'normal' songs within a genre.
Amen to that.
Damn I love those Guys! You both made my day for so many times! I work as a paramedic in Germany and listen to your music in the ambulance with a smile on my face!
It’s been at least 5 years since I’ve seen an Ylvis video. And I can say for sure “you’re as beautiful as the day I lost you”
" you discover the value of things when you loose them"
I always come back to hear they again and again.... I Wish they do a rock CD =(
These folks are so talented... it's amazing. I am so glad the silly spoof, What the Fox Says, became a worldwide hit. I am enjoying all of their varied styles - music, singing, comedy, acting, talk show, tricks... Carry on Ylvis!!
Vegard's vocals amaze me everytime ❤
3:53 wtf his voice is actually so good
These guys are great. Not many can combine such intelligent fun, perfect imitation of a musical style up to the smallest detail and all the cliches: the harmonizer effect of the electric guitar during the solo, the solo itself, the "a capella part", the acoustic introduction, the voice impostation, the lyrics (only that instead of glorifying brute force they mock it). It's just perfect!! Great production too. I wonder who they hired for the solo.. As someone down there commented, it really makes me want to learn Norwegian just to see their shows.
Ignacio Francisco Ramírez not to break your bubble, but they have stopped sending thier show. and all of the songs they make was for the talkshow they had
@@snurlesprutt4232 Well, yeah. They stopped sending their show so they could focus on inventing a new genre of television, the musical documentary, with Stories from Norway, so it's not like they stopped making music videos.
Greatest song ever.
This is unironically a good song.
Glade i got on the random Ylvis train tonight, this is such a banger. 10 year old nostalgia
Like seriously, I'm so impressed by his voice.
we need Jan Egeland more than ever
The best thing is that it's not supposed to be serious song, but it still beats the shit out of nowadays "artists" like Lil Wayne, Nicky Minaj, Justin Bieber etc. :)
Haha! This comment nails it so completely! (But I find Justin Bieber a very good singer. And he has some fantastic songs...) Thanks for this wonderful comment! And. Thumbs up for Egeland!
It might not be aimed to be a serious song, but apposed to today's musicians who only sing about the size of their genitals and the amount of drugs they take, this song at least has something to say:
It honors a great man who (although not as overdone as in the song) works as hard as he can to regain peace on this earth
***** ;)
BoarhideGaming very true, its nice to see a good song like this dedicated to someone who actually deserves the recognition, I would rather see more songs like this than some girl singing a generic song about an ex boyfriend or songs ofnhe "shake yo bootay" variety
1349Ravn EXACTLY MY POINT!
This must be the greatest gift anyone can give to somebody a song dedicated.
I bet that every politician world wide would wish they had Ylvis running their campaign...
I know this was just for a joke, but it would have been such a great strategy if he was trying to get somewhere...
If this was made in order to promote Jan Egeland then, I think, it would be much less awesome. True an genuine gives an incredible amount of value.
We really need a Jan Egeland just about now!
This is great. Thanks Michael Davis
Only Jan Egeland can stop the Wars that are unfortunately happening now, send this Man there. Ylvis you guys wrote a masterpiece.
Unironically still one of my absolute favourite songs!
same!
Simply the best of Ylvis' songs imo. And incidentally if you don't think this thing is justified, ready the guy's life story. It's legitimately insane. Hats off to the group and the subject.
3:51 - Crying Goooooooooooooood! Perfect perfect perfect.
Be Still! Still Peace, thank you once again for this song " Jan Egeland. "
Is there something ylvis can't sing? That note at 3:52 was just killer.
And also, all the power metal cliches are present!
exactly
The note at 3:52 is actually pretty easy. The note at 3:40 is more impressive... Hard to hit that note that full and heavy.
SHA8UTIE Well depends on how high can he go in falsetto but I see your logic. The whole chorus part is just impressive overal, just that falsetto note caught me off guard, wasn't expecing that.
He look voice lessons growing up and is a fantastic singer. His brother can sing as well.
FUN FACT: Jan Egeland himself saw this for the first time at a UN meeting :)
really? what was his reaction? I'm just curious he he he
Alohappyface Paulpen He spoke about it when he was a guest at the Ylvis talkshow, i dont remember exactly what he said, but hes a cool guy and he thinks its funny :)
Jonathan Reite so.. they did invite him to their show. Haha! Thanks for answering.
Alohappyface Paulpen Hehe no problem :) Yes indeed they did, and a while after they even played the song live at a UN employee party if im not mistaken.
+Alohappyface Paulpen "Egeland's response, in an e-mail to NPR, was "I think it is hilarious with its crazy text and great tune."" - Wikipedia
This is the best thing I've ever heard in my life. Queen + Monty Python = Ylvis
This is one of the greatest music videos I've ever seen.
'Continue'.
All jokes aside, this is probably one of the best rock songs I have ever heard. Pumping it through the speakers all day long.
these guys are really, really talented!
What i like about this is that 200-300 years from now (assuming we last that long) some random kids on the internet will rediscover this video and be so damn curious about who this person was that they'll look him up.
All the other politicians and world leaders will be relegated to literal history books and for the most part lost to history. But because this guy's done such a good job that comedians made an epic song about him that's not just them ripping into the politician (which face it, most deserve...), the kids'll either look him up, or bring it up with history teachers just out of curiousity.
I still come here after all these years... I did not know anything about Jan Egeland and all I know now is from this song.
3:52 is crazy! So cool!!!
