Yvlis - "The Fox" set to take over Gangnam style ?

So, my sister sent me this link over Whatsapp over the weekend and told me that this video has a 3 million views over the span of 3 days. Out of curiosity (or maybe it was a natural response), I had to check it out. My initial reaction to it was........ this is seriously the most bizarre music clip I've ever seen. It left me a little confused upon the first 15 seconds, then I thought the chorus was pretty catchy, but I still cringe everytime I read the lyrics.

A quick Google search revealed that Yvlis (the name of the band) is made up of two Norwegian brothers; Bård Ylvisåker and Vegard Ylvisåker. The duo formed their group on a variety show in Norway and debuted in 2000. However, with the number of news circulating over the Internet... THIS song (their latest one) is definitely set to propel them internationally. 

This video has quickly created a quite a number of parodies (another sign of a successful viral video) by some well known Youtube vloggers like Niga Hiha and even a university band marching to the tune of it ! You may view the video here. 

As of the time of writing,it has generated:

1) 34 million Youtube views
2) 159K + Youtube comments
3) Close to 500K likes on youtube
4) Debut at No. 29 at the Billboard Hot 100 chart
5) Media coverage across CBC, Guardian, etc
6) US commercial broadcast television network, Fox TV using this as part of its promo. 

While the song has still left me a little puzzled, I've got to admit that the chorus is pretty catchy... "What the fox says..... fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow" X2. Anyone else who felt the same way ? 

For those of you interested in the lyrics, here it is:

Dog goes woof, cat go meow.

Bird goes tweet, and mouse goes squeek.

Cow goes moo. Frog goes croak, and the elephant goes toot.

Ducks go quack and fish go blub, and the seal goes OW OW OW.

But there's one sound that no one knows...

Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!

WHAT THE FOX SAYS!

Big blue eyes, pointy nose, chasing mice, and digging holes.

Tiny paws, up the hill, suddenly you're standing still.

Your fur is red, so beautiful, like an angel in disguise.

But if you meet a friendly horse, will you communicate by mo-o-o-o-orse?

...mo-o-o-o-orse? ...mo-o-o-o-orse?

How will you speak to that h-o-o-orse?

...h-o-o-orse? ...h-o-o-orse?

WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY!?

Jacha-chacha-chacha-chow!

Jacha-chacha-chacha-chow!

Jacha-chacha-chacha-chow!

WHAT THE FOX SAYS!

A-hee-ahee ha-hee!

A-hee-ahee ha-hee!

WHAT THE FOX SAYS!

A-oo-oo-oo-ooo!

A-oo-oo-oo-ooo!

The secret of the fox, ancient mystery.

Somewhere deep in the woods, I know you're hiding.

What is your sound? Will we ever know? Will always be a mystery; what do you say?

You're my guardian angel, hiding in the woods. 

What is your sound? Will we ever know?

I want to, I want to, I want to know!

*cringe*

Can I also make a prediction that the fox costume will be a popular option this Halloween ?
