What Does The Bible Say? is an unidentified but nearly solved Bible parody of the viral song The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?) by Ylvis. It also features a skit, a couple violently arguing with another language (perhaps Norwegian), behind the singing. The song is likely by the church IMI-kirken.
According to user Devdev, they found the earliest archive of the post dating back at least 2014 when checking with Wayback Machine.
History[]
The earliest existence of the song dates back at April 1st, 2014 at least, when user ReginaForbes posted the full song onto YouMail as a free voicemail greeting. The OP only stated it's played to the tune of the What Does The Fox Say? song. Later on, they posted its shortened version onto the website. The first upload has reached over 2,700 views as of now.
Over time, the full version was uploaded to YouTube by several users, such as liquide tace, Lostwave's Unfinest, AlianTheObscure, 𝑀𝑟. 𝐶ℎ𝑖𝑝𝑠 and multiple others.

Around October 2025, user Osol commented on Lostwave's Unfinest's upload and stated there is a parody with the same title by a Norwegian church called IMI-kirken. IMI-kirken had uploaded a song of the same name to YouTube in 2013, but later privated the video, and the video wasn't archived. However, a screenshot of the music video was apparently found, and it showed the lyric "Ha ha ha hallelujah", which is present in this song.[1] [2]
Another YouTube user has attempted to contact the church after that comment, though it's unknown if they received a response.
On November 18th, 2025, Thundrysh got replied by Egil Elling, an IMI-Kirken Pastor, who said that IMI-Kirken was the author behind this parody and it was only made for an internal revue in 2013. After that, Thundrysh would ask him if IMI-Kirken could make the video public but, unluckily, Egil said that wouldn't be possible due to copyright issues, it was only for internal use, they are not permitted to do so.
Thundrysh covered his gmail because he used his real name, just ask Murphy.
