Riff: Ylvis – “The Trucker’s Hitch”

Sep 19, 2014

I know the Bowline/Sheepshank/And the Double Overhand/But the Trucker’s Hitch/I just don’t understand

from The Trucker's Hitch lyrics by Ylvis

Ylvis’ knot-tying-centric absurdist humor may not particularly leave you in stitches, but bonus points awarded for the musical send-up of Avicii’s shitty-house/Mumford-ian Genericana hybrid. They’re no Weird Al or even Axis of Awesome, but they’ve carved a niche in EDM parody; [LISTEN].
