Here is the song that is set to spawn a whole new genre of pop as the most famous frog, since Kermit, hops up to the mic.
The infamous Crazy Frog ringtone has been entertaining and infuriating in equal measure and will now be leapfrogging into the top 10. Be prepared to be toadally blown away by both the original radio mix and the Tadpole remix.
It all started, as do many things, in a pub (the Inn On The Pond, if you need the name). Ex-Virgin Radio breakfast DJ Daryl Denham, his producer, Trevor Jordan and Radio One Top 40 presenter, Wes Butters, were having a drink when an ad for the Crazy Frog ringtone came on the TV. The seed was sown and the very next day Daryl phoned his friend Maurice Cheetham, who has a studio in Liverpool, and the four formed Pondlife. Daryl and Maurice started work on the track immediately and at the turn of the New Year Trevor and Wes joined them in the studio to complete the froggie sensation.,
When Wes played the track on his early show on Radio One, Chris Moyles heard it and declared it a surefire hit. ‘You either love it or hate it, there's no in between', says Wes.
What's next for Pondlife? ‘Well, if it becomes a hit I reckon we should follow it up with ‘Frog On The Tyne', says Daryl, ‘but the rest of the band think that's stupid!'
A recent tadpoll revealed that the Crazy Frog ringtone has been downloaded 1 million times.
‘Crazy Frog Chorus' is released on April 4th through Tug Records
