Three years ago today, Axel F’s Crazy Frog hit the top of the UK charts. One of those whirlwind fads which took the world by storm; you either loved it or hated it.
From Wiki: “Crazy Frog is an animated character used in the marketing of a ring tone based on The Annoying Thing, a computer animation created by Erik Wernquist. Marketed by the ringtone provider Jamba!, the animation was originally created to accompany a sound effect produced by Daniel Malmedahl while attempting to imitate the sound of a two-stroke moped engine. The Crazy Frog spawned a worldwide hit single with a remix of “Axel F”, which reached the number one spot in the United Kingdom, Turkey, New Zealand, Australia and most of Europe.”
If you have bandwidth to waste, have a squizz at the video here, or listen to the original sound while taking the Insanity Test here.
