Stonehenge was in the news and I immediately thought of this song. This is so good and genius. It reflects how many of us have it when we think of seemingly random things at times searching for answers. Thanks 🙏
My friend is a curator at Stonehenge, and this is his favourite song. He would definitely play it on a loop at Stonehenge if he could get away with it. He recently did a presentation for a local history society and showed them this video at the end.
It's a genius move that the gospel choir challenges his commitment and his choice of car, but he resists distraction. He is 100% committed! That's part of why this is so great, it doesn't goof off to make unrelated jokes.

I bought my first car based on this song. It was a 1996 Honda Civic 1.4, "a car you can trust". I can witness that the statement is completely true. Even though the car was 21 years old when I bought it (149 000km), I made another 100 000 km in the next 2 years in all kinds of weather conditions and it never failed nor betrayed me. Thanks, Ylvis, for the good recommendation.

He's not embarrassed by his unpretentious car, and it's not important compared with the mystery of Stone-HENGE. Surface insanity, underlying thematic consistency. Best parody music video of all time.
I know this masterpiece for years now and I love to show it to as many people as possible. Absolutely brilliant, especially the hook - a hook you can trust!
A Fox was born in Massachusetts and was raised by Jan Egelang for a while, left and went to Istanbul where Mr. Toot Pressured him to build a Cabin made out of stone, so the Fox Worked for It and finally finished. After, The Fox found a lover and said "I found Someone Like Me", but the lover saw that The Fox was Intolerant for Yoghurt and left. The Fox was depressed and went to The Cabin and killed himself with a Trucker's Hitch style noose, and his last words were "I Will Never Be A Star." And that is the meaning of Stonehenge.
It honors the dead while being aligned with key astronomical events on the calendar such as the winter solstice. The smaller stones were moved from Wales suggesting it was a union of tribes. Archaeologists are excavating the town where thousands of laborers lived for hundreds of years. They just discovered a big ring of of pits around both. But still so much mystery!
Honestly the greatest song of all time. Never gets old. I came across this masterpiece in 2013 after visiting Stonehenge and I still come back to listen to it!!! I’ve listened to it 5 times today!!! 😅
A coworker showed me this and two weeks later another coworker was talking about how her cousin was well-off in life, and that he drives a Honda Civic. Coworker was on the end of the computer row opposite to me, he raised his head, I raised my head, he pointed to me, I pointed to him, and we both screamed "DRIVE A CIVIC, DRIVE A CIVIC, DRIVE A CIVIC". if you're out there, Rodrigo, I still remember this golden moment
@@KelpTheGreat Well, it *is* criminally underrated compared to the global viral infamy of 'What Does The Fox Say?' 🦊 (a song I never really liked. I mean, sure, it's funny the first two or three times, but it gets annoying on repeat, and it's not something I would come back to time and time again, like 'Stonehenge').
Am I the only one who keeps coming back after all those years, to either sing along, or lip sync over dramatically with all the big arm gestures?😂😂😂 It never fails to lift my spirits up. Edit: Thank you guys for all the answers. Great to see I'm in such good company.😀
I remember back in 2014, I was hospitalized for 5 days because of Dengue fever and in the hospital, the song that keeps playing on my head was this song. Thanks ylvis for making my hospital stay at least bearable!
Doesn't matter how many years it's been, my mother still makes me play this for every new person she hasn't shown it to if the topic of Stonehenge happens to come up. She's texted me for the link before when I wasn't even there.
Still one of my favorite parts about this is song is that when it came out, people thought he was sponsored by Honda for the Civic part. But now, he was genuinely trying to sell his car and figured putting it in the song was the best way to do it. Which to be fair, is a remarkably smart idea if you're famous.
His brother looks like the man who played Thor in some angles. But I think he would be a better choice for Thor because he's Norwegian hehe. The Thor guy looked especially a lot like Bård in that one F1 movie.

When I was a kid, I didn't understand the lyrics, so I listened this song to the melody. I'm grown now. And I realized how meaningful this song's words are... Also, now I know what "balls" means...
Well basically they made one out of straw and some asshole wolf blew it down so they made one form wood but the asshole blew it down... And you get where im going with this
Ylvis, I have an answer for you! With pollution and over-visits, the current henge will completely disappear w/in 1000 years. All that will be left is the foundations of the current visitor center. People 1000 years from now will wonder why such a center was built that drew 5M people a year, especially at the solstice. What was the cultic purpose of that structure? They will build another visitor center so that people can visit our civilization's mysterious "center". The secret then of Stone Henge is then that IT was the visitor center for a still earlier center, now long gone. And that earlier center was in fact a visitor center for a yet earlier center and so on. It's visitor centers all the way back dude.
There are a lot of henges around the world which are much older, like Qarahunj which predates the English Stonehenge by 3,500 years. Do you think people had the technology back then to lift stones which are tens of tons heavy?
The stone blocks in Gobekli Tepe are also cut and placed together so precise that todays most advanced engineers could never replicate it. So clearly there's more to ancient civilizations than what archaeologists suggest.
Gobekli Tepe is *amazing* for its age, and it might be hundreds of years before humans figure out what it really means. But I doubt we couldn't replicate the stone structures today if we wanted to. We could probably 3D print it now if we wanted to!
When he sings "I'm the king", the left side of his lips curl up like Elvis, the King of Rock and roll! Also, I really love all the key changes. Ylvis should write a Broadway musical for real. It would be the funniest, most genius work of art!
are you kidding me of course i would have given the car! what car do you drive? drive a civic, drive a civic, drive a civic! A CAR YOU CAN TRUST! oh my god
+Brent Huelsmann Even though the foxes eat 'yogurt, they do not know the 'Trucker's Hitch because they are 'intolerant and hate 'Mr. Toot.Even though 'someone like me 'will never be a star cause there is too much 'pressure and I just cant 'work it in the 'cabin
It's an Ancient Era world wonder that requires researching Calendar to be built. Often built by leaders such as Boudicca (Celts), Theodora (Byzantine), Isabella (Spain) etc. because it grants +5 faith and 1 Great Engineer Point per turn. Human players wanting to get religion fast might also attempt to build it, though it is not advisable on higher difficulties such as Deity. Have i answered your question?
Never mind the car, let's talk about the henge! 😂 I pop over to enjoy this masterpiece from time to time. It still makes me feel so happy because of it's comedy genius and singers talent! Ylvis 💖
Not at all, The Video is from 2013 nearly 2014. the Civic in the Video is the 5th (1991-95) or the 6th Generation (1995-2001) I dont think that people want to go by i car which is already nearly 20 years old. ;)
godwrote01 Also, product placement was not legal on Norwegian TV at the time. Now it's legal, but they have to inform the viewers that the show have been paid for product placement. Political TV commercials was also forbidden, because a political commercial will only tell one side of a cause, and it gives the political block with the most money an advantage, but EU regulations have removed both those bans. :(
after almost six years i still come back from time to time to applaude this masterpiece.
Same here! Like right now! All it takes is anyone saying the word "Stonehenge" to me....
Same. Came here from a Doctor Who episode (that my sister was watching, I didn't even come directly in contact with it)

I can't believe it is almost 2020 and we still don't know the meaning of Stonehenge :c
U give it meaning u give life meaning u are creator in a walking human body
The meaning of Stonehenge is what does the fox say!!!
Look it up...
It honors the dead while being aligned with key astronomical events on the calendar such as the winter solstice. The smaller stones were moved from Wales suggesting it was a union of tribes. Archaeologists are excavating the town where thousands of laborers lived for hundreds of years. They just discovered a big ring of of pits around both. But still so much mystery!
And now, in 2020, we still do not know what's the fox says !!!
Honestly the greatest song of all time. Never gets old. I came across this masterpiece in 2013 after visiting Stonehenge and I still come back to listen to it!!! I’ve listened to it 5 times today!!! 😅
Ylvis come back, I need more of these songs!! :)
This song moves me in an emotional manner that I never thought possible.
But, but... can your emotions move 25ton stones into a henge?
Yore kidding, right!?
A coworker showed me this and two weeks later another coworker was talking about how her cousin was well-off in life, and that he drives a Honda Civic.
Coworker was on the end of the computer row opposite to me, he raised his head, I raised my head, he pointed to me, I pointed to him, and we both screamed "DRIVE A CIVIC, DRIVE A CIVIC, DRIVE A CIVIC".
if you're out there, Rodrigo, I still remember this golden moment
Lmao I love and need this in my life
A car you can trust!
@@sandances Never mind the car, let’s talk about the henge
@@EconExpo What henge is that again?
@@Valyrianalien It’s the Stonehenge! It’s the Stonehenge!
These guys are criminally underrated still. Not only are they funny, but they're actually good songs.
This video has 34 million views, I can't say there's a lot of underrating going on here, much less to a criminal degree.
@@KelpTheGreat Well, it *is* criminally underrated compared to the global viral infamy of 'What Does The Fox Say?' 🦊 (a song I never really liked. I mean, sure, it's funny the first two or three times, but it gets annoying on repeat, and it's not something I would come back to time and time again, like 'Stonehenge').
they are grat and highly talented :)
I'll never stop listening to this. I'm showing this to my kids. Masterpiece
Am I the only one who keeps coming back after all those years, to either sing along, or lip sync over dramatically with all the big arm gestures?😂😂😂 It never fails to lift my spirits up.
Edit: Thank you guys for all the answers. Great to see I'm in such good company.😀
Same here
And never fails to lift your arms up.
Did you just predict me?
I’m back this year😂😂
我也回来了
I remember back in 2014, I was hospitalized for 5 days because of Dengue fever and in the hospital, the song that keeps playing on my head was this song.
Thanks ylvis for making my hospital stay at least bearable!
The heck?
How did you catch Dengue Fever, how horrible!!! 🤒So glad it was this silly song that got you through it all! 🏥🎶 Thankfully, you didn't have "to-die".
Doesn't matter how many years it's been, my mother still makes me play this for every new person she hasn't shown it to if the topic of Stonehenge happens to come up. She's texted me for the link before when I wasn't even there.
You have the most awesome mom ever!!! haha
easily the most epic song and video I've ever seen, makes me tear up every time lol
But whilst crying all I think of is Stonehenge!
+Ábel Orosz lol
@Abel I actually sang these words in my mind to the song's tune HAHAHA
Genius comes in many forms. This is one.
hahahaha how the hell did the fox get so many views, this is comedic brilliance XD
I know right, I wish this had gotten as viral as the fox
I agree. I think the
fox is stupid!
agreed!
+GabzitoHD cuz it is kpop or w/e RE: Fox says
+GabzitoHD Probably because this wouldn't be played due to being "explicit".
Still one of my favorite parts about this is song is that when it came out, people thought he was sponsored by Honda for the Civic part. But now, he was genuinely trying to sell his car and figured putting it in the song was the best way to do it. Which to be fair, is a remarkably smart idea if you're famous.
Excuse me, but why does this man look like Paul Rudd? Not complaining. Just wondering.
He is the love child of Paul Rudd and Josh Groban.
He sometimes looks like Spenny from Kenny vs Spenny, too. He's a mish mash of so many people, lmao.
His brother looks like the man who played Thor in some angles. But I think he would be a better choice for Thor because he's Norwegian hehe.

Lol when I went to see the stonehenge last year all I could think of is this song xD
I'm going later this year and i'll be playing this all the time i'm there ! :D
And me the year after. Luvv the beat & video:))))
technologai
Ylvis is Aussi, confirmed.
I love how he rhythm Technologai and Todai xD
Dũng Twokey 😂😂😂😂
When I was a kid, I didn't understand the lyrics, so I listened this song to the melody.
I'm grown now. And I realized how meaningful this song's words are...
Also, now I know what "balls" means...
One does not simply rhyme high with technology and then with today
That's the joke < _
doge simply does not merge onto boromir.
You can if you are Vegard :)
I know. It's sounds like he said "we have to die".
+Glem Det this guy knows wassup
I grew up near StoneHenge, been there several times and i have no fucking idea why you would build a stonehenge!
I'm pretty sure it was a burial grounds for the elite people back in the day.
Well basically they made one out of straw and some asshole wolf blew it down so they made one form wood but the asshole blew it down... And you get where im going with this
***** lol doesn't look like brick to me silly goose.
ah fair play :) erm celtic bricks ?
35 likes! Never expected that...

,,She gives me a smile....And then she plays with my baaaals!,,
Well that escalated quickly.
Go see the live version on RUclips! The way he says it in the live performance is so much better!
After 10 years this has never left my head, especially the way he says, "Are you kidding me? Of course I would've given the car"
"My wife applaud me in the kitchen when I tell her all I bought is from the local store"
Lmao, I can't!
10,000 people gave their Civics, but didn't find out the meaning of Stonehenge.
my history of architecture professor played this when discussing about buildings of this area, whole class rolfed near the end
I STILL get this song randomly stuck in my head, such a masterpiece and criminally underrated 😂😂😂
Ylvis, I have an answer for you! With pollution and over-visits, the current henge will completely disappear w/in 1000 years. All that will be left is the foundations of the current visitor center. People 1000 years from now will wonder why such a center was built that drew 5M people a year, especially at the solstice. What was the cultic purpose of that structure?
They will build another visitor center so that people can visit our civilization's mysterious "center".
The secret then of Stone Henge is then that IT was the visitor center for a still earlier center, now long gone. And that earlier center was in fact a visitor center for a yet earlier center and so on.
It's visitor centers all the way back dude.
Haha Gary Bradski I like your explanation!
There are a lot of henges around the world which are much older, like Qarahunj which predates the English Stonehenge by 3,500 years. Do you think people had the technology back then to lift stones which are tens of tons heavy?
Or Gobekli Tepe ("12,000 Years Old Unexplained Structure"), that is about 12,000 yrs old and thus 3 times as old as Stonehenge!
The stone blocks in Gobekli Tepe are also cut and placed together so precise that todays most advanced engineers could never replicate it. So clearly there's more to ancient civilizations than what archaeologists suggest.
Gobekli Tepe is *amazing* for its age, and it might be hundreds of years before humans figure out what it really means. But I doubt we couldn't replicate the stone structures today if we wanted to. We could probably 3D print it now if we wanted to!
A great talent. The man behind what the mystery of what the fox said.
Drive a civic! Drive a civic!
A car you can trust!!!
I hacking love ylvis. :D
Never mind the car, let's talk about the henge
Israel Pinheiro What henge is that again?
northgarden It's the greatest henge of all
What's the meaning of Stonehenge~~~~~~
When he sings "I'm the king", the left side of his lips curl up like Elvis, the King of Rock and roll! Also, I really love all the key changes. Ylvis should write a Broadway musical for real. It would be the funniest, most genius work of art!
are you kidding me of course i would have given the car!
what car do you drive?
drive a civic, drive a civic, drive a civic!
A CAR YOU CAN TRUST!
oh my god
Never mind the car, let's talk about the henge!
What henge is that again?
Sarah BC It'S the stone henge it's the stone henge!
god!! it is the greatest henge of all!!!
C-C-C-Combo Breaker!!!!
never mind about the car , let's talk about the henge
Lol "Who the fuck builds a stonehenge?"
Alex .Tena My favorite line!
Kass983 oh I dunno - the biggest henge that I have ever seen comes close.
Alex .Tena Also, "never mind the car! Let's talk about the henge!"
+Jay Arfa "Two Stone Age dudes wondering what to do, who said "Hey dude, let's build a henge or two!"" is my favorite line.
Hahaha the reason I watch this video was because of this line, which I heard Duncan off the yogscast sing
What if the Fox knows the meaning of Stonehenge, but we don't know what the fox says
+Brent Huelsmann Clever. Maybe the next song...
best comment ever
+Brent Huelsmann Get out of here, Jaden
Best fucking comment ever
+Brent Huelsmann Even though the foxes eat 'yogurt, they do not know the 'Trucker's Hitch because they are 'intolerant and hate 'Mr. Toot.Even though 'someone like me 'will never be a star cause there is too much 'pressure and I just cant 'work it in the 'cabin
I drive a Civic and I have been to Stonehenge with it only because of this song. 620 miles from Germany. Thanks, Ylvis!
eh? really?
for real! @@BaH4o3eH
goshh, so passionate
The first song of stonehenge :D Greeting from Poland :)
Nie jest pierwsza. Jeśli grałeś w gre "Na kłopoty Pantera" tam była pierwsza piosenka o Stonehenge. :)
It's an Ancient Era world wonder that requires researching Calendar to be built. Often built by leaders such as Boudicca (Celts), Theodora (Byzantine), Isabella (Spain) etc. because it grants +5 faith and 1 Great Engineer Point per turn. Human players wanting to get religion fast might also attempt to build it, though it is not advisable on higher difficulties such as Deity.
Have i answered your question?
Civilization answers everything....
Never mind the car, let's talk about the henge! 😂 I pop over to enjoy this masterpiece from time to time. It still makes me feel so happy because of it's comedy genius and singers talent! Ylvis 💖
What henge is that again?
This is still my all time favorite RUclips video. I gotta watch it several times a year.
I'm still wondering if this video is sponsored by Honda.
Not at all, The Video is from 2013 nearly 2014. the Civic in the Video is the 5th (1991-95) or the 6th Generation (1995-2001) I dont think that people want to go by i car which is already nearly 20 years old. ;)
godwrote01 Also, product placement was not legal on Norwegian TV at the time. Now it's legal, but they have to inform the viewers that the show have been paid for product placement.
Political TV commercials was also forbidden, because a political commercial will only tell one side of a cause, and it gives the political block with the most money an advantage, but EU regulations have removed both those bans. :(
Nope the singer wanted to sell his honda and was advertising this conveniently in the video...you get it if you watch his talkshow xD
crystalDM96 Haha sounds like something Ylvis would do XD
MMedic
Best Honda Civic commercial EVER
So true
LeonSam87 tru
I am going to buy a civic this car is amazing
nobody can slip in an advertisement as smoothly as Ylvis
My dad showed me this beautiful masterpiece and my life is blessed
