Beacause Smile-mon know how popular the Crazy Frog is with all our customers, we have devised a special crazy frog page just for you. For anyone new to the phenomena that is crazy frog, here's a brief history of the Frog they call Crazy:
The Annoying Thing is a fictional, reptilian biped, who wears early Royal Air Force style flying cap and goggles with the chinstrap unfastened, along with a leather jacket. His toes are webbed, and the iris of one eye is significantly larger than the other.
The character imitates the hand movements used to rotate the twistgrip controls of a motorcycle while making the sound of an engine ignition. As the imaginary engine starts, the character starts to levitate and exhaust fumes are discharged from the characters body. The character is then flung off at high speed into the distance.
Daniel Maldmedahl, a Swedish computer salesman, has a talent and serious interest in imitating engine sounds. When his friends informed him of the comedic qualities of his talent he recorded some samples to Compact Disc which were then published on the Internet.
Eventually, word reached Daniel that his sound effects were in use in a well known animation, he contacted Erik, apparently giving an impromptu performance to demonstrate his skill. Erik was convinced, and gave due credit to Daniel for his creation.
In 2004, the Germany based Jamba! group (ultimately owned by Verisign) licensed the animation and sound for distribution as a mobile phone ringtone. Jamba!, trading under names such as Jamster! and Ringtone King among others, accompanied the release of the new ringtone with a barrage of television, internet, radio and print advertising, making it the most recognisable commercially available ringtone in the United Kingdom.
The Crazy Frog title was probably influenced by the Mr Toad character from Wind in the Willows. Jamba! decided to promote the animation as The Crazy Frog rather than the existing title, the name was probably influenced by the Toad of Toad Hall character from the Wind in the Willows childrens book. Mr. Toad is described as wearing goggles and flying cap and being fascinated with motor cars.
Jamba! have earnt an estimated £10 million from the ringtone, making it the most successful ringtone of all time, and they are hoping to repeat the Frog's success with their new animated creature ringtone Sweety the Chick.
