"Crazy Frog in the House" has much less success than Crazy Frog's previous hits singles. The video was shot in the streets of Montreal and unlike other Crazy Frog videos (which are computer animated) incorporates live action footage as the CGI-rendered Frog interacts with people on the street, ultimately leading a group of choreographed children in several different types of dances. The single was released in Europe on January 5, 2007, and the music video is featured on the Crazy Frog Presents Crazy Video Hits DVD. This song is an interpolation of " Chacarron Macarron" and the Knight Rider theme. " Crazy Frog in the House" is a song by Crazy Frog released as the second single from the album Crazy Frog Presents More Crazy Hits. It’s not a frog and it’s not particularly crazy either.2007 single by Crazy Frog "Crazy Frog in the House"įrom the album Crazy Frog Presents More Crazy Hits Wernquist expressed his displeasure at the choice of name, saying: “If I had known that this was going to be such a big thing I would not have allowed them to use that stupid name. The animation received attention through filesharing and word of mouth, and Ringtone Europe and Jamster België (now both merged into Jamba!) capitalized on the underground cult-status of the sound, and licensed the rights to it, renaming it “Crazy Frog” and starting to market it in mid-2004. Wernquist was convinced, and gave credit to Malmedahl for his creation. He contacted Wernquist, apparently giving an impromptu performance to confirm his claims. Eventually, word reached Malmedahl that his impressions had been used in a now well-known animation. The animation was a popular attraction at Erik’s website, but the sound was credited to “Anonymous”. In late 2003, another Swede, Erik Wernquist, encountered the sound effect and, was inspired to create the 3D animated character he named “The Annoying Thing” to accompany it. After it debuted on television, recordings of his performance began appearing on file sharing networks and various websites under the filename “2TAKTARE.MP3″ (allegedly, Tvåtaktare” is Swedish for “two stroker”). He posted them on a website and later caught the attention of a Swedish television researcher, who convinced Daniel to perform the sound live on air. In 1997, a 17-year-old Swede named Daniel Malmedahl recorded himself imitating the noises produced by internal combustion engines. There is some seriously Freudian stuff going on here the image for the American release suddenly has Crazy Frog astride a huge rocket: Not so in the US, where iTunes immediately had the offensive appendage removed. There was originally a bit of a flap over Crazy Frog’s penis, but in the UK, they finally let it him keep it. What is Crazy Frog riding? The existing success of the song Axel F, of course! Crazy Frog’s Penis For some reason the song – which was a massive hit worldwide – barely made a (ahem) ding in the US market. The song was a remix of the “deng deng” sound (details below) and the 1985 hit Axel F, from the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack. Originally, the sound and the character were aptly called “The Annoying Thing”. If you live in the states, you may not be as familiar with this little fellow, who was the visual representation of the sound that was later to become the internationally popular ringtone and pop song.

But what’s even stranger than all of these things are two other things: 1) That people would choose “Crazy Frog” as their custom sound, and 2) That this annoying sound would be the “hook” in an international pop hit. You have this fancy new mobile communication doodad, so to impress people, you’ll pay a buck to have it make some weird sound when a call comes in, mostly to announce to everyone that you have this fancy wireless doodad in your pocket. What’s perhaps even harder to believe is that someone could make an industry out of selling “ringtones”. It’s hard to believe there was a time when a telephone was mainly a communications device, and when it “rang”, it actually made a ringing sound, but it’s true. The annoying creature that became an international sensation.
