"Puppies bark, kittens meow, birds chirp, mice chirp"... Don't get me wrong, this is not the opening song of a children's program, accompanied by strong electronic music beats, A cute but extremely catchy melody, the brother group ylvis from Norway (Vegaard Ilvisak and Bud Ilvisak) sings the song "thefox(whatdoesthefoxsay?)" A "serious" question was raised: Why do many animals have their own onomatopoeia for their sounds, but not foxes? So, what exactly does a fox call?
The focus of the whole song is "how does the fox bark?" At the beginning of the MV, a group of handsome men and beauties dressed up as animals were having a party in a forest villa. The song first summarized the sounds of a group of common animals like a children's song, and then raised a serious issue: "But there is something called "No one knows what the sound is - what does the fox call?" The camera turned, and ylvis and a group of dancers wearing fox masks appeared in the Norwegian forest at midnight, with funny dance steps and nonsensical singing. Various versions of fox calls are performed, from "ring-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ring-ring-ding-ring-ding-ring-ding-ding-ring-ding-ding-ring-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ring-ding-ding-ding-ding-ring-ding-ding-ding-ding-ring-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding'." "Ha kick - roar", "拋拗-拗拗-拗拗-拗拗"... As the song progresses, various imaginative and repetitive onomatopoeic words make netizens unable to help but complain, "I am drinking water, directly "I choked" and "I laughed until I rolled on the floor, but I still can't understand."
After listening to "The Fox Bark", many people will have the same doubts. How does the fox bark in reality? On YouTube, a video about the interpretation of the real barking of foxes has attracted more than a million views. The real barking of foxes is recorded in it, which is a bit like a high-octave dog barking and a bit like a woman's. The scream sounds really chilling, not as "cute" as in "The Fox Crying". According to "Guoke Q&A", for red foxes, the breeding season is generally from December to April of the following year. The warning call is "raaww" and the mating call is "whaaa".
