Viral?

I would agree that "What Does the Fox Say?" has gone viral. However that's a really mushy term and probably shouldn't be used in this article without being defined. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.232.26.108 (talk) 16:30, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"over 40 million views in 3 weeks", specific enough for ya? :p Divinity76 (talk) 13:50, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The term "viral" is defined in the corresponding wikipedia article, which is hotlinked to in this article. So no problem. unsigned — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.19.102.35 (talk) 10:46, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

Can someone knowledgeable about Norwegian explain how "Ylvis" should be pronounced? —Arthaey (talk) 23:44, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I also think the article should say how to pronounce that, it's one of the main things I still want to know about them, how to say their duo's name, or the name "Ylvisåker". Walterego (talk) 13:57, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know IPA, but it's pronounced like "Elvis", only with the y-sound from "synchronize" instead of the e. You can hear them say it themselves here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW87HkQ-510&t=4m25s — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.208.134.213 (talk) 00:13, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ylvisåker is pronounced "Ylvisoker" with an "o" like in "overall" or "open". BTW have removed discussion of international spelling from this article, and instead linked to the relevant wikipedia page for the scandinavian 'Å' character. 194.19.102.35 (talk) 11:32, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On Jimmy Fallon last night he prounounced it like 'Eel-vis'
