So, what does the fox say? In 2013, it seems like the answer is "massive viral success." YouTube announced its top trending videos of 2013, and Norwegian comedy duo Ylvis topped everything off with their ridiculous hit single, "The Fox."
According to YouTube, Ylvis topped the general top trending videos category, beating video hits such as "Harlem Shake (original army edition)," Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" and fellow jokesters The Lonely Island with "YOLO."
