It's still unknown what, exactly, the fox says. But, that didn't stop the hilarious indie parodying music video "The Fox" by Norwegian comedians Ylvis from going highly viral earlier this month. Now, the song has gotten a reworking by the Ohio University Marching 110. The "Most Exciting Band in the Land" covered the YouTube hit at a home football game versus Marshall over the weekend. Now, the instrumental version of the Ylvis hit has gone viral itself.

Instead of the warblings of Ylvis members Bard and Vegard Ylvisaker, trumpets and trombones replicate the varying things a fox could say. As any Ohio Marching 110 fan would know, the band breaks out into a dance break, doing outrageous and on point moves to while the drumline keeps beat.

Watch the Ohio University Marching 110 cover Ylvis' "The Fox" below and compare it to the original YouTube hit.

This isn't the first time that the one of the 110's performances have gone viral. The OU marching band has also performed Psy's "Gangham Style" and LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem," and both videos have gotten millions of YouTube hits -- "Gangham Style" clocks in at 4.8 million views and "Party Rock Anthem" has over 9 million views. Psy himself noted that the "Gangham Style" performance was his favorite cover version of his viral video hit.

As for "The Fox," Ylvis have found success in America. The video has 30.9 million views as of press time and has reached No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100. To put that in perspective, fellow musical jokesters The Lonely Island's "I Just Had Sex" peaked at No. 30 in 2010.
