The Roots, led by Questlove in fuzzy ears, performed alongside the brothers, and Fallon himself gets in on the act, dressing in a fox suit and joining on the cha-cha-chows. It’s actually pretty impressive how Ylvis manage to recreate all those hypothetical fox sounds live, and it makes you wonder: Can a video go viral in two different forms? Let’s find out.
