I am, ahem, VERY familiar with that song, and I don’t see that at all.
The Fox, by Ylvis, is the most bafflingly unclassifiable song I’ve ever encountered. I honestly can’t tell if it’s supposed to be children’s music, a novelty song, or just a weird pop tune. I think it’s awesome, though.
They are a comedy duo who originally made the song and video for their talk show so I would classify it as a comedic song.
“patter” song.
Nor do I.
Dead Alewives D&D song? act?
Is silly and funny, but not far from the real thing.
But that’s obviously a profound message.
Silly or serious? Can’t tell, but either way it’s lots of fun.
