Bergen, Norway

Comprised of brothers Bård and Vegard Ylvisåker, comedy/cabaret duo (they are often referred to as the Norwegian version of Lonely Island), Ylvis has racked up numerous awards in their native Norway, but it wasn't until their video for the hyper-surreal, dancefloor-ready earworm "The Fox" went viral that they became an international sensation, especially in the United States where the song was adapted by the Ohio University Marching Band for a halftime performance. ~ James Christopher Monger
