I was doing some research on Halloween history and trends for this blog. One of the most amazing things I found is that the fox costume is the biggest seller this Halloween. It is said that the video and the song “What Does the Fox Say?” is the reason for this. So, of course, I had to find out what the fox says. (You know how it is when one surfs the net, one thing leads to another.)
“What Does the Fox Say” is an electronic dance song and video by the Norwegian comedy duo Ylvisic. Since it was posted on You Tube it has over 174million hits…it was even used as a dance song on “Dancing With the Stars”.
It seems the fox says a lot from “Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding! Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding! to “Abay-ba-da bum-bum bay-do”
So when you answer the door on Halloween and you hear “Wa-wa-way-do Wub-wid-bid-dum-way-do Wa-wa-way-do,” know that the fox is just saying trick or treat.
