Cover art for The Fox lyrics by Ylvis

This song is about wanting to get with a sexy lady. The narrator starts out comparing his various partners to different animals -- dogs, cats, even fish. But there's one woman who he hasn't slept with, the "fox". He's wondering what she will sound like in bed. The woman has "big blue eyes / pointy nose" and her "[hair] is red / so beautiful / like an angel in disguise". The narrator is the "friendly horse" on account of his... you know. The narrator's predicament of wanting to sleep with the woman is timeless, an "ancient mystery". At the end of the song the narrator fails to score, so the question remains: "What is your sound? / Will we ever know?" Probably not.
