Crazy Frog hops to chart success

Misc. — Joe Anderson @ 7:46 pm Sunday 29 May 2005

The Crazy Frog ringtone has revved straight to the top of the charts, beating nearest rival Coldplay to the number one slot.

The new version of Axel F - the theme to the Beverly Hills Cop films - is the first mobile ringtone to make it into the charts.

HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo said the tune’s success was down to “its huge novelty appeal”.

The Crazy Frog brought Oasis’s brief flirtation with the top spot to an end.

I’m no fan of Crazy Frog, or Oasis, but how an Earth did Crazy Frog beat Oasis? An annoying ringtone based around Beverly Hills tune, which to be fair is quite good, but then a frog making an annoying noise while flashing his bits, how on Earth is this even legal?

I couldn’t agree more with Neil at http://www.neilturner.me.uk/2005/Mar/29/crazy_frog_remix.html, and the insanity test drove everyone insane, but now it’s bloody mobile!

I hope those folks at Jamster don’t sleep at night as they both rip-off and torture the British population. Also, they torture the Germans, as Jamster is a subsidiary of the German company Jamba who are in turn a subsidiary of Verisign, an American company! Phew, I got all of that out!

At least a video of Crazy Frog being ran over by a train is floating around the net!
