Nobody else has started this but sorry if they have- I didn't notice.

I didn't see this coming, some probably did.

That annoying Crazy Frog ringtone looks set to be a single released around April 4th. The full story dominates the Bizarre section in The Sun today however there is a small metion on the website.

It's a shame Denham has done this!

He did a track called Lowest of the Low, a remix of things Jezza (Virgin then, Capital now) with music in the background. It was so funny it hurt!

People will be so sick of it by then that it'll probably be a big failure.

I did see it coming though.

Just in case you haven't yet had enough of that damn frog that crops in in most TV commercial breaks, apparently you'll shortly be able to buy the record ...

They played it on the radio up here a few days ago, and I thought it would be a lot worse than what it is.

How the heck did that idiot Wes Butters get a job on radio 1? Was it nepotism?

Jeezum Crow - I can't believe it. And you're right, HotCrossBun - it will get to number one, thanks to the same idiots who buy Mr. Blobby and that type of crap.

"Crazy Frog" set to become a single

LONDON (Reuters) - The "Crazy Frog" mobile phone ringtone -- loved and loathed in equal measure -- is to be released as a pop single.


Television adverts plugging the "tune", featuring an animated frog wearing motorcycle helmet and goggles, with a broad smile and a visible tiny penis, have made it a huge success. The tone has been downloaded a million times.


"You either love it or hate it -- there's no in between," said BBC Radio 1 DJ Wes Butters, one of a group of DJs and producers who have formed the group "Pondlife" to release the song.


The TV spots have prompted several complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority from viewers who object to their frequency and to the frog's genitalia.


The ad has, however, been ruled acceptable by the Authority. Whether the single will be deemed acceptable by the public when it is released in April is an open question.
I'm sorry to say it Wes & co, but you really do live up to your name for releasing this single. Do we really need any more crap like this clogging up the charts?

I hadn't heard about this, though I should've probably seen it coming knowing as I do the marketability of excrement.

If anyone knows the address of the person or persons responsible for this atrocity please let me know ...that, on the off chance I might live within a reasonable train journey and I can go and piss through their letterbox.

I don't see what the problem is with the 'song', yes, the ringtone is annoying, but the song is well produced, the music is pretty good, and if it didn't have the frog bap-bap-bapping over it, would do well on it's own, and adding the frog to it just makes you smile.

I got hold of a copy of it from a DJ mate, and I played it at work the other day.. Any time someone came into the room the cd player was, admittedly, people at first were like, "what the hell's this?" sorta thing but after 10 seconds or so they were smiling or even laughing..

Who says music has to stick to certain formats? We shouldn't be snobbish about any kind of music, Girls Aloud, Frogster ft Froggy Frogspawn and S Club 7 should be enjoyed for what they are alongside other so called "credible" singers, musicians, artists and producers.

If this gets to number one then that'll be a bigger crime than some of these Elvis re-issues getting to No.1. Beep Beep Beep........not only that the No.1s will get worst.

Right, this is going to sound weird..... because it is: have any of you seen the crazy frog ringtone advert with the crazy frog? If so have any of you noticed that he has a completely unnecessary ahem, appendage..?
