Most people are now aware of Ylvis's song "The Fox" but I am here to try and break down what kind of argument they are making in this song. I feel in this song they are making a very valid fact claim. Watching the music video, or even the performance on Jimmy Fallon, we see what appears to be a grandfather reading a book to his grandchild. This is the clue I link to the reason for the lyrics. The main idea and argument is "What does the fox say?" and I think we can find the grounds in characters mentioned above. Evidence is we have all these children's books about animal sounds but never ever is a fox featured or even given a cameo. The singers wonder if these poor animals have any means of communication at all and if they do will we ever have it written for the sake of future generations. Also it is just a really catchy song from singers that sing it like it is.
