Intro Excerpt from Husavik by Atli Örvarsson

[@Subwoolfer]

We loved your reactions earthlings. We can’t tell you whether there are quotation marks in the chorus or not, how ever we can confirm that your grandmas are safe after seeing this. 🍌🐺🚀

[@sweetgirl070707]

Hi Subwoolfer :D

[@Mucrush]

There they are! They were summoned!

[@MyrtleP]

Phew! Thank you for confirming my grandma's protection. I feel safer now.

[@jokke6926]

One our of fun! Look up Ylvis they got around 20 funny music videos, based on realy good talent of music and houmor.

[@jokke6926]

Songs like; Janym The fox Work it Old friends Someone like me Stonehenge Language of Love Pressure Inrolerant A capella The cabin Maddachssetts Yougurt Mr Toot I will never be s star Trucker hitch Jan Egerland and more😃

[@lavendah42]

I have to disagree with the comments about the music, I think it is well produced with little touches throughout that stop it from sounding overly boring and repetitive. In a season where it feels like half the songs are getting a revamp (as if they were rushed and not given the necessary time to be produced well), this song needs no changes. I love this song, it's my number 2 and I think it has top 10 potential. Will do better with the public vote than the juries

[@AnAmericanInDenmark]

You know, I want to dislike it, but I simply cannot. It's actually a great song with goofy lyrics and fun dancing. It's so hard not to just love it! I think it will do well, despite all the hate it's getting across ESC social media groups right now.

[@carinahatlevoll3767]

keiino also did get hate from,esc social media and was called copy cat because finlands songs the year before and they got most point from the people and i think it will happen again to this song only if the jury dident want to ruin it

[@annkristin3457]

‘Subwoolfer’ -The biggest band in the Galaxy,first formed 4.5 billion years ago on their home planet, the moon. Since then the brothers, ‘Keith’ and ‘Jim’, have conquered the music scene on every planet, making them the most successful pop group ever. On 20th July, 1969, a prophet named Neil appeared to them in a stable, and was soon hailed ‘the man with the strongest arms’. He promised to return telling them he would help them become the biggest band on his planet too, but only once they had written the greatest song in the universe, sung in his native tongue -English. Neil never returned however, and so now armed with the greatest song in existence, ‘Give That Wolf A Banana’, they have come to earth in search of him, and to claim their musical throne by performing at the most important and prestigious musical event in the history of the world -MGP Norway 2022.

[@safira2342]

Well if that doesn't seem convincing then idk what is.

[@LeNaSmileyStar]

This just makes me SMILE and listening to it I wanna DANCE.🎼🎵🎶🎵 Imagine being in the audience, and everyone doing a FLASH MOB🐺🍌🐺🍌🐺🍌 Just FUN and AwZm❣😁 #SpaceWoolFers #ESCnorway2022 #SubWoolFer

[@alman666]

Norway is going to get a great televote score this year and they’ll sail through to the final with that. The song is fun and it’s not going to win (the juries will see to that,) and this is definitely one of those songs you only get at the ESC. I’ve got it at 12th place.

[@christin_germany]

The Norwegian national final was amazing and runner up Northkid was just as great and popular. This said I love love love this song and I am sooooo happy it will be on the big stage. My winner!

[@yvkon]

Yessss, I'm here for the crazy 🤪. I really like this song. It's a brainworm, at the most ridiculous moments it just enters your mind. Then again I have the same effect with Eat your salad....I guess I got something with food😅.

[@falkeye76]

this group was put together for eurovision…and rumour has it…its Ben Adams from the british uk boyband back to the millenium shift. together with a norwegian idol contender named gaute ormåsen. A1 had chart toppers back then. Best wishes from Norway🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴

[@casperix3741]

This is my number #1!! 🍌🍌

[@the_oslovian]

I LOVE that we make the whole world laugh ❤️ you have to read the backstory as I am sure you are aware of right now. We are gonna win this, love from Norway 😊

[@ege-sucu1]

They were living in the moon until people step foot into the moon. And then they heard eurovision and came by to join. Their identities are stil unknown and their only song is this one(+ a 14 february version of this song)

[@ZakhadWOW]

the reason for use of "Banana" is t0 rhyme with Grandma. That's it. Also there is rampant theorizing that it is all a COVID allegory: the wolf is COVID, Grandma is your elderly loved one, and Banana represents getting a shot.

[@sancalisto2371]

It's a good song, right? I friggin' love it! It's in my head now, and a sleepless night awaits. Thanks guys.

[@sus1221]

It's just fun...my favorite song this year. Lyrics are goofy gibberish, but the song has a nice melody...and both vocalists have lovely voices. Visually it's just so much fun! The costumes, the dance, their social media presence...has all just been a delight. I think this will win the televote, but probably not get much love from the jury. So not sure how it'll rank overall. But in general, it's just everything I want from Eurovision...gives me joy!

[@rinostellmacher5409]

Its a whole consept.They are 4,5 million years old and they are from space, They are already intergalaxic stars and have come to earth to concer the biggest music festival. they lived the last thousand years on the moon, and have a profet called armstrong ( they call him the man with the strongest arms.) when they reached the earth they took the form of the first living creature they met ( and it was woolfs ) but they didn,t deside on names yet ( that,s why i kall you Keith and Jim in the song). There is also a lot more, but too long to write with my poor google english. it,s quite fun when you got the hole story ( consept 🙂 No one knows who they are, but it,s most belived that its Gaute Ormåsen and Ben Adams from A1. the rumors has it that DJ astronaut is Alan Walker, but this is more unsure.

[@Leifdk1]

I didn’t love it at first simply because of the concept. But I’ve since yielded to it and it’s among my favorites. It’s fun but still a solid entry musically. Will definitely qualify and should do well.

[@stefaniamunteanu5732]

8:30 I hope they will. :)) I saw they left comments to most of the reactions to their song. There is a theory about the song promoting vaccination against Corona, the wolf being a metaphor for the virus and the banana representing the vaccine.

[@starry2006]

I also thought of the Lithuanian song last year, but this is catchier and has more character.

[@ortakar]

Tall guy: gaute ormasen Short guy: ben adams Dj astronot: Mark read

[@stefanstorm4864]

Love the girl to the left, she cares about facts 😁

[@jokke6926]

The guys is Ylvis (what does the fox says) sings the ref and the astranaut is Gaute Ormåsen the leading vokals I belive

[@ZakhadWOW]

actually there is definitive evidence that it is NOT Ylvis; with one of the two being specifically identified by people in the know

[@jokke6926]

@@ZakhadWOW Its typical for Ylvis, you must see "the henge" by Ylvis, its fucking funny and in there style of houmor😃

[@jokke6926]

And yes there is people as adam and gaute wering mask, to confoose😃

[@metulj]

You are a joy to watch....

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

Out of all the entries this year to not COMPLETELY hate on and say 'I love it', this was THE ONE. If you disrespected this song AS WELL, it would have been over for your channel...

[@jokke6926]

Two guys from Norway called Stargate, have made music for many of the biggest stars in the us (loock them up) and else were. And they made the music for Ylvis and "the Fox".

[@lindakristinekjrlibraten5759]

They are Ben Adams, known from A1 and Gaute Ormåsen.

[@evanodeland7901]

Hmmmm.....

[@NBbbbnb]

it´s a person in Norway that made a song about the fairytail. He is involved probably in this song making.

[@KM-gt3xx]

I loved this song so much was easy too enjoy

[@krissysteel1]

Eurovision songcontest has left the original concept of songwriting and singing contest long ago. I haven't figured out what it's really about now, but ut seems like it's a combination of glamor and entertainment contest wraped in a music-ish theme. No matter what it is, this song in particular is a comedy stick. I hope. It might do well in the final because of the comedic value.

[@alipanroosendaal9503]

It is the opinion divider this year. Personally I find it irresistable, and harmless.

[@johanmauritzson4842]

By the way: Best consept/performance ever.!!!!!

[@markdekker3047]

bop

[@gel87Kjetil]

There is a little story behind them. Something with them beeing an alien group travelling the galaxy to play their music.

[@thedramaclassfan715]

I really like the song I wish that they had a little more variety in the Lyrics department...( like a story how the grandma fights and beats the wolf) If they did it would have been perfect we are kinda sick of love songs anyway they are pretty standard .... fun songs like this one that dosen't take itself seriously are absolutely gems!

[@cecilieklaunes3626]

Dj astronaut 🤣 I wolf this❤️🍌🐺

[@johanstenfelt1206]

Hm, nice Reaction, i like this Band. Say, have you done UNO by Little Big too?

[@Bearion]

Here is an intervju with Subwoolfer -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYq2iaaVo7eae9U

[@Fiodda]

😍🍌❤❤❤🇧🇻

[@lisbethejvindsdatter7838]

Not Ylvis 😉👍🏻

[@Vinterloft]

Wolf = Covid Grandma = Actual grandma Banana = Vaccine

[@bjarthj]

Ylvis are the best, but I don't think it's them..

[@blakeich]

I think it could be

[@sweetgirl070707]

Not a fan of the stupid lyrics, but everything else is top-notch.

[@ZakhadWOW]

well it's certainly better than that infamous Spanish disaster "La la la la la la" UGH.. THis is a masterpiece compared to that.

[@anfilias]

So this song is not a glorification to furries? ok. my mind's dirty then

[@piktasvaikasvid]

really? no sexual undertones?..

[@achnix3167]

The lyrics are too stupid for me to fully appreciate the melody and synths/production which are good
