Just in time for the World Series, Norwegian band Ylvis has released a perfect paean to the Massachusetts loyalty that Harvard students harbor. In their new music video for “Massachusetts,” the long-tressed, Euro-pop trio—famous for their zoological philosophizing in “What Does the Fox Say?”—go on a Bay State road trip that takes them to the Boston Library, Nelson Mandela’s home, and a homoerotic moment in a truck near Massachusetts Bay.

We were pleasantly surprised by this sudden Scandinavian interest in Massachusetts, and Flyby couldn’t help but be touched by Ylvis’ tribute to the state we know and love. Here are a few lyrics that caught our attention:

1. “Far away across the oceans / An undiscovered paradise / Forget New York and California / There’s a better place—now close your eyes.”

This speaks to the anxiety shared by Pilgrims in 1620, fleeing religious persecution for the “undiscovered paradise” of Plymouth, Massachusetts. It’s also a familiar feeling for California-born Harvard students as they make their yearly pilgrimage from home to Cambridge. As we know from the story of Thanksgiving, all the Pilgrims needed to do was “close [their] eyes,” and Squanto appeared, saving them from imminent famine due to their lack of farming skills. At Harvard, we close our eyes and HUDS appears with three meals a day, shielding us from imminent malnutrition due to our ability to cook only ramen.

2. “Just four hours from New York / Read amazing books for free at the Boston Library or try the local brie.”

This first line speaks to a fact that many NYC-born Harvard students treasure, as it allows them to go home on weekends to sleep soundly in their brownstones, have their parents do their laundry, and catch up with their prep school friends that go to Columbia. While we may not have to ride the T all the way to the Boston Public Library for access to “amazing free books,” we appreciate the luxury of having the 16 million books of the Harvard University Library available to us, even as we trudge over to Lamont at 2 a.m. in pajama pants. As for the local brie, one trip to the weekly farmer’s market in the Science Center Plaza will have you convinced of the superb quality of local dairy products.
