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

[@OliverJazzz]

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.

[@danielslade6241]

Eivind Ludviksen, saviour of internet grammar.

[@eivindludviksen6478]

Daniel Slade every correction is a step to a better Internet. ;)

[@shirazqaddoumi7320]

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.

They are great comedians and are not exactly TERRIBLE at writing songs, but their "singing" simply doesn't have any value whatsoever, whereas Ylvis are PRETTY great at all of those things.

Ralf Koneberg I agree with your comment. They aren't like The Lonely Island, some Ylvis' songs are... educational like Stonehenge or Massachussets, they're very creative :D

To give some niche background info behind the video, the concert footage is from 9th of June 2012 (9.6.2012) on the 'Viking Stadion', where they opened for the Norwegian Rock band mods. An offer they initially declined, but later accepted once they realized they could use the footage for the music video. The members on stage are, of course, the brothers themselves, along with Kato Ådland on guitar, Lars Bleiklie Devik on Keys, Espen Lien on Bass and the likely more recognizable Tarjei Strøm (of 'Ralph Myerz and the Jack Herren Band' and 'Datarock' fame) on drums.

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.

[@andrerodrigues2877]

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

[@Paragus]

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.

[@lucvandenacker9759]

IF he would have made only serious music he would be one of the most famous artists in the world by now

[@darkartsdabbler2407]

We already have far too many people making "serious" music. What these guys do is special.

[@bycurling]

Well actually if you don't know English, this sound like you called "serious music"

[@shannenlibres2365]

We he sang "crying god" my mind was blown from the awesomeness and insane talent

[@justyfun9652]

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!

[@Thomas_Winters]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the flawless dancer in the beginning

[@gingersndragons]

that profile pic is awesome

[@Thomas_Winters]

Niall Connolly *flips hair* thank ya

[@theoriginalhowardho]

That's because he was quickly forgotten after the barrage of awesomeness!

[@joeomalley2835]

Awesome point. That was so damn flawless.I think 9.75 out of 10.

[@caa1000]

I keep hearing Jan Egeland's name in the Gaza Strip holy war with Israel and I keep humming this song... Pray for peace 🙏!

[@Logarithm906]

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.

[@ironwolg]

The fact that he liked the song makes this even better

[@Joahak13]

If Ylvis is not representing Norway in this years Eurovision, I'll be chocked.

[@TemperaMagenta]

That would be poor sportsmanship :P

[@GeorgeWaleczko]

When there's virus outbreak and all is hell... Bring in JAN EGELAAAAAAND!

[@RM19061]

I always come back to this masterpiece when there is a war starting again somewhere in the world

[@matiisme]

Jan Egeland, our man, doing his best to help Gaza 🔥🔥🔥

[@RM19061]

@@matiismeand ukraine, the alliance and horde feud and the three banner war. It all matters to this hero

[@marocat4749]

Its weird for sure listening. Goddam maybe he can help in the refugee council i guess

[@Elesthor]

The "He's a macho musclepumping crying god" part gives me goosebumps everytime. Love their music!

[@anarchsnark]

Ever wonder if Jan Egeland listens and finds himself singing along "oh how I wish I was Jan Egeland"

[@SammehPurdy]

They didn't have to go that hard, but they did and they dit it for us.

[@heathermathis1885]

THIS is the song that made me fall in love with Ylvis...and Vegard ;D (The noise I made when he hit the high note made me squeal with a noise I'm not proud of...)

[@taigaflurry3894]

same

[@burakgencer65]

The intro, vocal scream at "cryin' God" ,guitar solo... this song is much more better than millions of "serious songs" even it is a parody.

[@SantannaKiller]

Damn, I was listening to some 80's rock, and stumbled across this. Ylvis givin axel a run for his money with that range! Amazing.

[@RollTideGamer]

So true... Axel is still better though

[@Shralla]

RollTideGamer Still better? He used to be better, sure.

[@Hi-ov5nj]

RollTideGamer he's actually really, really, REALLY ...bad...

[@RollTideGamer]

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.

[@Ashfer2]

Have you listened to their song Shabby Chic?

[@lizgichora6472]

Be Still! Still Peace, thank you once again for this song " Jan Egeland. "

[@Kiinell]

"He breaks down just like a homo" Hahaha. As a homo I'd just like to say that made me break down and cry like a girl.

[@soybased2995]

Me too😅😅😅

[@marocat4749]

And they do contrast it with something respectful so, itsnot even vicious.

[@SometimesRaven]

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.

[@Kass983]

***** Vegard, the brunette. I love them both, but it's Vegard who has the voice of a "god".

[@SometimesRaven]

Kass983 FUCK. Been a while; my bad.

[@johanekberg1353]

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! ( :

[@anaperezc3051]

Ylvis........ 😌 His image singing in the rain in the motorcycle is powerful and beautiful at the same time 😌very attractive. And Omg this "crying God!!!!"

[@StitchGV]

Vegard, wet, and on a motorcycle. Ok. I can die now. There is no more beauty left to behold in this world. I have now seen it all.

[@georgesibley9977]

Nice to see diplomats and peacekeepers getting the hard-rock treatment. Song's sweet as hell, too.

[@bulletdozer6787]

He's on BBC1 tonight going into Syria. Never heard of him before Ylvis but this is almost a Clark Kent moment.....

[@stephdevill7676]

Now more than ever we need you jan

[@1995JunPark]

When there's Google+ and all is hell, send in JAN EGELAND! :)
