What Does the Fox Say?

I try to stay up on pop culture, but when I kept seeing “What does the fox say?” I admit I was behind the curve…sigh.  Oh well, I know now…

After over 276 million downloads, I have now watched, listened and provided this for your entertainment:

According to Wikipedia, which we know is flawless:

“The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)”, also known as “The Fox”, is an electronic dance song and viral video by Norwegian comedy duo Ylvis. The top trending video of 2013 on YouTube, “The Fox” was posted on the video-sharing website on September 3, 2013 and has over 276 million views as of December 11, 2013. “The Fox” has peaked at number 6 for three consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, and is also the highest-ranked song by a Norwegian artist on the chart since a-ha’s number-one song “Take on Me” in 1985.

Originally an “anti-hit” produced as a promo for the duo’s new season of Norwegian television talk show I kveld med Ylvis (Tonight with Ylvis),[8] “The Fox”, “created to fail”, has ironically and accidentally gone viral, becoming Ylvis’ “breakout” song and drawing international attention to the group. There are currently no plans to release an album including the song or any sequel to it.

Taylor Swift Leaves HUGE Tip For Very Lucky Fans

Taylor Swift Leaves HUGE Tip For Very Lucky Fans

Last Friday night was a very good one for the head chef at Ralph’s Italian Restaurant in Philadelphia.

And it was all because of Taylor Swift.

She didn’t even kiss anyone! And after her creepy fan incident, we could use some good T-Swift news.

Instead, she and her tour mates, Ed Sheeran and Austin Mahone, were craving some late-night Italian after their show. They chose Ralph’s.

The head chef immediately called his mother.

“I called my mom to tell her Swift was there, and she wanted me to take a picture because she is a big fan,” he told E! News.

“My son has autism, and while I’m at work my mom and my son love to listen to her music. He loves her music!”

Swift took pictures with the staff and had some more surprises in store. She handed over two tickets to her concert for the following night.

“It was so kind-hearted of her,” the chef told E! News. “My son is 11. It was my son and I’s first concert we’ve ever been to! It was really special.”

And to top it all of, she left a $500 tip.

That’s some good karma right there, Swifty!
