Beverly Hills Frog: ringtone spawns single

You must have heard it by now. The Crazy Frog ringtone has been something of a phenomenon amongst free-spending teenagers and 'whacky' elders alike, and now the irritating amphibian is crossing over into the music industry.

A single based on the - oh let's cut the crap - fucking annoying ringtone will be released on the 2nd of May. Called 'Crazy Frog Axel F', the single is a blend of the frog's 'vocals' and the famous theme tune from Beverly Hills Cop.

The single is released by German clubbing outfit Bass Bumpers, comprising Reinhard Raith and Wolfgang Boss. Apparently they are SO hot right now in Germany.

Reinhard said: "The Crazy Frog ringtone was huge in Germany and I believed it would make a great dance record. It needed a melody, something to get the hands in the air, and Wolfgang suggested the Axel F record which is one of the best 'hands up' tunes ever made."

Please, contain your excitement...

Isn't this the first sign of the Apocalypse?

And the frog penis was the only amusing thing about that advert.

I haven't actually heard the crazy-frog ringtone yet, and for that i'm glad. I hate ringtones, my current phone has shitloads of stupid tones on but hasn't got a single "normal" telephone ringtone on it. Is that really too much to ask from telephone manufacturers? Fuckers.

My bootlegging friend did a better one than that.
He mixed the Crazy Frog with Nancy Sinatra's 'These Boots..'
Absolutely classic.

Oh, dear christ. I think this is the final hint from God that I should lock myself away. Forever.

Re: Beverly Hills Frog: ringtone spawns single

But the ring tone works for me. I mean, say I'm in the bus station and someone's phone goes of with that, you instantly know... they're either a wanker or a small child (or extremely unintelligent).

By the way, has anyone ever heard a frog like that before? To me, it sounds like the sped up voice of a German child. Oh yeh, and it was nicked from this 'insanity test' thing that has been on the web for at least 2/3 years now.
