In a moment we'll end this show with some exclusive music.
But first, the breakthrough of 2013, unfortunately, was made by Norway's Filip and Fredrik...
They are sometimes called that, in Sweden...
The Ylvis brothers.
- They have copied our ideas for several years... - No...
- Yes, but they have, haven't they? - They have done their own stuff too.
Yes, but for the most part they have called us and asked for good ideas and we have given it to them...
...but now they've become international stars.
Suddenly they've got 300 million Youtube views with "The Fox".
That's life.
Let's take a quick look at their huge breakthrough this year.
Painful clips to watch for two narcissists like us.
You've felt a bit worse about this than I have.
I can tell you when I heard... you were with me then...
...that they were going to be on Jimmy Fallon's talkshow in the US.
We were in a bar, in L.A., and I said: "Let's go home! This isn't fun."
Your head was like ... pounding against the bar.
How does this happen?
- It's not fair. - No, it's so f*cking unfair.
We invited them here tonight, the Ylvis brothers, but naturally, they didn't have the time.
A couple of years ago they would have come here to lick our feet.
Yes. but now they didn't have any time for us.
But they sent a little video message:
Dear Filip and Fredrik, thanks a lot for the invitation,
...we are so sad we can't be there on your New Year's show.
We've got talk shows to do, promotions for the Fox song...
- Shopping. A lot of shopping. - You know, that kind of stuff.
Have a great show. Love you guys!
Merry Christmas, first of all! It's the Christmas presents...
It sure is, it sure is!
Yes, thanks to the Ylvis brothers.
Their success is wonderful, of course.
Our New Year's show is almost over, we will end it with something Neil Young-ish and beautiful.
We thank all the crew from Channel 5 over there for this lovely evening.
We say thank you for this year, we will be back, right?
- I think so. - So do I.
- Shall we sing now, or what? - Please do.
How lovely.
