Not many people realize how creative and brilliant these two brothers are. I mean outside of Norway but then again they dont need that recognition, they are happy and still make stuff and thats all that matters. Let people think they are just the guys that made the fox song while they were high, they are missing out at everything else they ve done and its their loss.
What the fuck? As an east german it was very weird for me to stumble over a band called DDR singing The Fox in Stockholm in best Rammstein manner in german. So amazing. Never expected this.
There is a popular Norwegian group called DDE and the group DDR, lead by Atle Antonsen, started as parody of DDE but heavily East Germany oriented of course (since, you know, DDR) singing German translations of DDE's songs in a very serious/somber 1970s/1980s East German esthetic. Here they have Ylvis has guest performers doing a German version of their viral hit What Does The Fox Say
this is not ylvis idea its another norwegian comedy duo Atle og Johan with their band ddr where they sing popular norwegian song in german and ylvis was their guest
omg, when 9 or 10 years ago one guy send me his favorite songs, and it was some of rammstein and some of Ylvis like "janym", i choiced be fan of ramm more, but ylvis they so much talanted, they can do everything, now i know they are diamond
I have so many questions Why do they speak almost perfect german? Whose idea was this? What was the occassion of this performance? WHY is there no studio version like this? Why is there literally zero information on the web to why and how this happened :D Anyway 10/10 best version
TLDR: It's a guest performance at the final concert of another band. That is a loooooooooooooong story. It begins back in the 90's. Yes, really. Back in 1992, a band called DDE was formed. It became very popular. A couple of years later, on a comedy radio program called XL, a couple of the regular guests/hosts of that program formed a parody band called DDR as a comedy sketch, whose entire schtick was performing DDE songs in the "original" language, german. Because DDE, DDR, East Germany... Get it? All the members of the newly formed band DDR were norwegian, but pretended to be german and donned cold war era trenchcoats, because that would be funnier. It didn't take long until the original band DDE caught wind of this parody band, but luckily for DDR, DDE saw the funny side and said "That's actually quite funny" and gave them their blessing. So in 1998, DDR produced their first album, and DDR had evolved from being a simple comedy sketch on a radio program, to being an actual band, singing in german, and doing lots of concerts all over the country. Fast forward to 2017, after 3 albums, and decades of tours and concerts, DDR decided that they wanted to call it quits. A joke from a now defunct radio program from the mid 90's had gone on for more than two decades. So they decided to give one final concert, with loads of guest performances by other artists and bands. DDE, the band they had started parodying all those years ago, even joined them for the final song. ua-cam.com/video/VylMY2QAyyo/v-deo.html at about 1:25 the original band DDE joins them. Ylvis were quite popular at the time with "The Fox" and therefore they made a guest performance where they performed "Der Fuchs" in german.
@@Amphibiot It can be added that the name of the band DDE in Norwegian pronunciation and in the band's dialect means "What it is", so it is not random. Makes it even more witty with DDR, which is dead serious.
@@ahkkariq7406 Yes, i concidered writing that fact in my explanation of that onion of a joke which has even more layers to it. That exactly the reason why XL came up with it in the first place. Differences in dialects.
Så galet att jag inte upptäckte dem förrän 2015 med Stonehenge i svenska melodifestivalen. Fortfarande gillar jag inte The Fox - utom i den här versionen.
t's on this year, in MGP, aiming to go to Eurovision 2022. The group is called Subwoolfer, and I think it's Ylvis in disguise, and the song is called "Give That Wolf a Banana."

Just wondering why this performance isn't more famous. Brilliant! They really nailed the high notes.

I totally agree

The "band" is called Ylvis. Their names are Bard and Vegard Ylvisaker. They are from Norway.
There is a popular Norwegian group called DDE and the group DDR, lead by Atle Antonsen, started as parody of DDE but heavily East Germany oriented of course (since, you know, DDR) singing German translations of DDE's songs in a very serious/somber 1970s/1980s East German esthetic.

Wish the consert was in Stockholm where I live but sadly not.
The concert was in Oslo, he is just joking, pretending to not know which city he is in.
A norwegian group, performing a song in german, that I only know in English because I'm american. I love it.
Haha, these guys are brilliant! Performing their song in army clothes and screaming in German! 😂
this version is a fuxking masterpiece
Holy shit, Vegard's scream.
Keep reinventing yourself Ylvis!!! Amazing!!!!!!
this is not ylvis idea its another norwegian comedy duo Atle og Johan with their band ddr where they sing popular norwegian song in german and ylvis was their guest

@@Amphibiot you are an absolute madlad! Thanks for giving all this information, what a fantastic story :D tusen takk! Vielen Dank!
Scandinavian languages share a shitload of sounds, words with German and the other way around.
Plus they got talent, so it's no surprise really😉👍

Lmaooo min far elsker dette
Ich brech´ ab!🤣😂🤣
ELECTRIC!!!!
hahahah unglaublich!!
OOOJEEEEEEER
The fox sangen høres so mye bedre ut på tysk enn på engelsk. Synd at den er ikke på Spotify.
Så galet att jag inte upptäckte dem förrän 2015 med Stonehenge i svenska melodifestivalen. Fortfarande gillar jag inte The Fox - utom i den här versionen.
Ich bin in der DDR geboren. Diese deutsche Version ist einfach lustig ^^
Don't know where I landed but I sure do love it
Was für eine kranke scheiße ist das denn 😂😂😂😂2:54
Lindemann gefällt das.
Punaise en allemand tout a l'air méchant 🤣
Ser gut !!! :)
Hvor kan man se hele konserten?
Braun shirts??
Is there any Lyrics?
Yes. It's called, What Does the Fox Say? Ever heard of it?
2:51... That scream... WoW. I'm wondering what was that note
That whistle tone scream was higher than anything from Mariah Carey!
The highest note was around the 3rd G above middle C (G5), ending on the 2nd D above middle C (D4). Completely amazing!
Are the lyrics a German translation of The Fox or something completely new?
They are mostly a translation
Was ist denn eigentlich mit dem Wolf? 🤔🤔🤔 nur so ne' Frage😅😅
Der würde heulen, also aaoowwww

They can speak German 😳😳😳
They can "speak" any language.
German is also quite common to learn in Norwegian schools, as a third language.
I could almost feel Putin on stage with them.
