Give That Wolf A Banana was Norway's entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, performed by Subwoolfer, an anonymous duo in yellow wolf masks and suits. Released ahead of Norway's Melodi Grand Prix, which it won, the song mixes a fairy tale wolf reference with a joke about feeding him a banana instead of grandma. Its novelty staging and repetitive chorus made it easy to share outside the contest, and the title line survived as a short meme sound long after the final.
About this sound
A short clip of Subwoolfer singing Give That Wolf A Banana, Norway's Eurovision 2022 entry, often used for funny food and pet reaction edits.
This is a five second excerpt from Subwoolfer's Give That Wolf A Banana, built around the sung title line delivered in a playful, deadpan pop style. The masked Norwegian duo perform over a bright electronic beat, treating the absurd instruction completely seriously, which is what makes the clip land as comedy. Heard without context it sounds like a strange warning, and seen with a video it turns an ordinary feeding moment, pet clip or hungry expression into a deliberate punchline. The contrast between the catchy chorus and the nonsense lyric keeps it instantly recognisable.
