Subject: Crazy Frog Is Number 1

Written By: Dumb Ass Kid on 05/29/05 at 1:08 pm

Yes, the unthinkable has just occured. The Crazy Frog has entered the UK Top 40 at number one, beating Coldplay's 'Speed Of Sound' (Number 2). No bs, check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/top40.shtml for the full chart listing.
This is indeed a sad, sad day for the UK charts. Let us comemorate a time when good songs actually used to get to number one, and kiss goodbye to that little bit of dignity that has now been completely sucked out of the charts by a little 'bim'-ing frog riding an invisible motorbike  :\'(

What? Like Joe Dolce's 'Shaddup You Face' for instance...?!

(Actually that's probably a magnum opus comapred to that frog thing...!)

Joe Dolce's 'Shaddup You Face' is a musical masterpiece in G Minor compared to the Crazy Frog. Good number ones include Bohemian Rhapsody for instance, whilst I could be sitting here all night listing all the terrible number ones (anyone remember the macarena? number one for 16 weeks in the US!). We brits have had some god awful number ones in our time - but THIS?! This is going a bit too far...

it was but some smart arse decided to remix it and stick it over that old Axel F tune, and bingo - you've got yourself a song which meatheads and pre-teens all over the country will go mad for.
Radio one also interviewed the sad act who actually sits and makes the frog noises (He's Swedish, btw), and he really didn't seem to care that he had got to number one. Yet, poor Coldplay still have yet to get their first UK number one thanks to this piece of crap clogging up the number one spot. Life's unfair like that, isn't it  :(

You do realise that if you tried really freakin hard.. you could get to number one. It requires you to sell.. well.. not many bloody cd's.

The singles chart is a joke.. of course the whole Pop Music Industry is just a joke to me  ;D

Unfortunately the UK singles chart is always going to be infested by tripe. it's been headed downhill since the 90s, with the lowest point being the chart year of 99 (how many novelty number ones can you have in a year, seriously?), it started to pick back up in the 2000s, but now it seems to be digressing again  :(

It's this little frog thing that used to be a ringtone. it's sits and goes bim-bim-bim and makes motorbike noises and rides an invisible motorbike. Well-thought out, I know  ::)

Here is a picture. Feel free to stab it, burn it or rip it into teeny tiny pieces at will...

I'm sure if you go to the Jamster website, they'll have it there. They had the Swedish guy who does the voices on breakfast TV the other day in the UK, they held a phone vote as to whether the frog was cool or annoying; 70% of those who voted said it was annoying, so he had to eat some gruesome English "delicacy" for breakfast (might have been black pudding, can't remember) as punishment. Later, on another show, they took him out in public to answer for his 'crimes against humanity'- several memebers of the public had to be restrained from attacking him, when they learnt what he was responsible for...

Wow, I missed that! The Swedish guy who does the voice was interviewed on the radio yesterday (Radio 1), and when he was asked if he was pleased with his number one, all he said was "yes, it is good". I'll tell you something they would NOT have been able to restrain me if he'd came walking round my street...  >:(

Yep, think it was last Wednesday, I was off work so able to watch it...I seem to spend my TV time flicking the channel over every time a Carzy Frog (deliberate sp.) advert comes on, that morning was terrible, cos every five minutes a breakfast TV presenter would break into a chorus of "bing bing"... I fear this is the start of a very irritating trend which will end who knows where...aaaaargh!

Man, I hope you're wrong. But you're probs right. Next it'll be Nessie The Dragon - Let Me Be Your Fantasy or something utter bollocks like that. 2005 looks set to be the worst year in British music we've seen in a while...  :(

Nobody with any sort of sense of decency would dance to the macarena (whilst sober). The macarena is much like Abba's Waterloo, you love it when you're p*ssed, but when you'r sober, you hate it!  :) :D

Ha, is that the old Baby D (Baby Ford? can't remember) number? I think you've hit on something there! (dodges hail of bottles from music lovers worldwide). I just hope that blooming Tweety bird thing doesn't come out as a single, though sadly I think it may well be the next "ringtone number 1", as it has a similar "Jamster club" attached to it & is also being heavily promoted currently.(OMG, cut that with "The Birdie Song" and you'd have a fearsome sonic weapon!)

Shame about Coldplay, though...must try harder to impress the demographic that buys Singles, although I'd imagine their release of Singles is more to showcase their album sales, where most real music lovers spend their dosh...

I don't think Coldplay will have any problems getting to number one in the album charts, it's just a shame they couldn't have had a number one single to accompany it.

And ssssh! Don't go giving Jamster any ideas. They'll no doubt think of some fresh annoyances when their chair person gets back from Nursery

The Macarena doesn't even fall into the same league of "noveltiness", IMO  ;D ;D ;D

Think more like Brit classics such as "the Chicken Song", "Agadoo" (you could dance to that too, but...), "The Birdie Song" etc, and you might be nearly there... ::)

Overexposed is an understatement. The adverts come on twice in every break on some channels, the song is continuously played and EVERYONE has the f*kin' ringtone! Gaaaaaaa! The Crazy Frog has been over-over-over-over-OVERexposed to overexposure
