On this song, the Swedish band, which I always associate with ska-leaning punk, turns in a more straightforward pop-punk song. The titular fox is referred to as if a woman, but is pretty clearly a motorcycle, with lots of Van Halen-worthy innuendo thrown in: "She's my life, she's so bad / She's the best ride I ever had." It's a fun listen, but not clever.
"A great song mutates, makes quantum leaps, turns up again like the prodigal son. It crosses genres. Could be punk rock, ragtime, folk-rock, or zydeco, and can be played in a lot of different styles, multiple styles... A great song is the sum of all things." - Bob Dylan
