YAS XOF EHT SEOD TAHW:
Backwards!
Whenever you hear a strange song
that's strangely popular,
you've got to stop and think:
Well someone obviously
made a deal with the Devil.
In that case,
we can search the song backwards
for hidden clues.
Here's The Song Forwards:
Ylvis The Fox What Does the Fox Say ) [Official music video HD]
Published on Oct 14, 2013 by
Before we even rewind,
we can almost detect a massive amount
of semi-F-bombs exploding all over the place!
But hey,
I blame "Star Trek" for that.
That's right.
They were the ones who figured out
how to sneak the F-bomb on prime-time TV;
and that was in the 1960s.
All you do is mask it just a little.
Example:
"Spock! Are you out of your Vulcan mind?!"
With or without the real or imagined F-bombs,
I find a bunch of dudes twerking in the woods,
with or without fox masks,
to be more than a bit disturbing.
But hey,
if that's what you're into;
and you're not hurting anyone,
whatevs!
Just keep it down in residential areas
when others are trying to sleep.
Here's The Song Backwards:
What Does The Fox Say (Backwards)
Published on Oct 19, 2013 by
The first thing we notice
is that when spelled backwards,
the name Ylvis looks like an adverb.
I don't know what Sivly means,
but if it's backwards,
it probably can't be good.
The opening voice reminds me
of Dan Ackroyd gibberish singing
in The Blues Brothers' hit "Rubber Biscuit".
Somewhere near the beginning,
which would be the end?,
I hear the phrase "walk on water".
Obviously,
that's a reference,
or allusion,
if you will,
to:
Dutch People.
Because of their wooden shoes.
Who else?
Aquaman?
The seemingly nonsensical noises,
which resound during the chorus,
when played backwards,
suddenly sound like:
Someone who hit his thumb with a hammer.
Or got ice dropped down his Jockey shorts.
Or that one annoying uncle who still plays
"I got your nose!"
well past your teens.
The chorus line itself sounds like:
"Get so out the door!"
So I guess the song could be considered divisive.
But maybe the building's on fire;
and the singers are yelling for us to get to safety.
Which is awfully nice of them.
Or they just don't want to get sued.
Or arrested for breaking The Good Samaritan Law
like in the Series Finale of Seinfeld.
Sadly though,
the whole "Is the song divisive
or is it urging us to safety?" debate
must remain unsolvable.
At least,
until we can get a coin to flip;
and decide who gets to call heads.
Near the end,
which would be the beginning?,
I hear the phrase "climb so nice".
So,
to that extent,
this song's good at subliminally
encouraging mountain climbers.
Kids like it too.
(Kids of all ages.)
If,
10-15 years from now,
scaling mountains suddenly becomes a big craze
among college students,
you'll know why.
I've been kidding around here,
but I gotta tell you: That silly song made me
more attentive to women in every way.
Now when I meet a hot one I wonder:
What does the fox say?
Thanks for reading.
Until next time,
have a Vulcan fun week!
And, of course, by that, I mean:
Live long & prosper.
Or at the very least,
don't be sivly.

A: The Nutella!
Jerry Seinfeld:
The idea behind the tuxedo is
the woman's point of view
that men are all the same;
so we might as well dress them that way.
That's why a wedding is like the joining together
of a beautiful, glowing bride
and some guy.
The tuxedo is a wedding safety device,
created by women
because they know that men are undependable.
So in case the groom chickens out,
everybody just takes one step over,
and she marries the next guy.
Dean Burkey:
If you’re beautiful;
and you’re all alone,
your beauty’s going to waste.
Don’t waste it!
Let me help you find the finest pleasures
that beautiful people can enjoy.
Steve Martin:
Hosting the Oscars
is like making love to a beautiful woman
— it's something I only get to do
when Billy Crystal's out of town.
Steven Wright:
Last night,
I walked up to this beautiful woman in a bar
and asked her, "Do you live around here often?"
She said, "You're wearing two different colored socks."
I said, "Yes, but to me they're the same,
because I go by thickness."
