Ylvis is a variety show group from Bergen, Norway, consisting of the two brothers Bård Ylvisåker (born 1982) and Vegard Ylvisåker (born 1979). The two started their career in 2000 with the act "Ylvis – en kabaret" ("Ylvis – a cabaret"). They have later followed this with "Ylvis – en konsert" ("Ylvis – a concert") and "Ylvis III". They have also performed in other media, with appearances in the NRK TV-show "Absolutt Norsk", and their own radio show called "O-fag".
Ylvis is a revue group of brothers Bård Ylvisåker (b. 1982) and Vegard Ylvisåker (b. 1979). The musical brothers originated from Sogn, but grew up in Bergen and Africa.
The brothers debuted professionally on the 19th October, 2000 at the Ole Bull Theater in Bergen with the show "Ylvis - en kabaret".
In connection with the show was the song "Rumor says" recorded, pressed as a CD-single, and sold during the show, but was never put out for regular sales.
In 2001, after the Norway tour with "Ylvis - a cabaret", Ylvis's main characters performed in the Grieghallen with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra in a concert called "Ylvis goes philharmonic". That same year debuted Bård and Vegard on TV as regular guests in Rune Larsen's "Absolutt norsk" on NRK. In 2002 NRK added Ylvis as an element in Trond-Viggo Torgersens "TVT".
Dog goes woof, cat go meow.
Bird goes tweet, and mouse goes squeek.
Cow goes moo. Frog goes croak, and the elephant goes toot.
Ducks go quack and fish go blub, and the seal goes OW OW OW.
But there's one sound that no one knows...

WHAT THE FOX SAYS!
Big blue eyes, pointy nose, chasing mice, and digging holes.
Tiny paws, up the hill, suddenly you're standing still.
Your fur is red, so beautiful, like an angel in disguise.
But if you meet a friendly horse, will you communicate by mo-o-o-o-orse?
... mo-o-o-o-orse?... mo-o-o-o-orse?
How will you speak to that h-o-o-orse?
... h-o-o-orse?... h-o-o-orse?
