Help Finding Axel F (soundtrack, dance, instrumental, trance, cds)

Hi, I'm posting this on the International Forum since this song was released outside the US and hopefully there are those living or that lived in Europe when it was released who can help me find it...In 2002/2003, there was a song I think called 'Axel F' that had an associated video shown in Germany..it was a rather long single/video. I thought at the time (living in Germany) that Axel F was the artist...I've since searched and found that Crazy Frog is an artist name that released CDs in 2005 and 2006 in the US , but while visiting the US, could find nothing from 2002/3 time and the 2005 and 6 CDs don't have this song...The song, which I call 'the original Crazy Frog song' (The Crazy Frog was in the video)..minus the Frog's occassional 'bing bing' sounds...is largely an instrrumental, I think to the tune of the Soundtrack for 'Beverly Hills Cop'...I think I mistakenly thought it was 'Computer Games', an instrumental from the early 1980s...
Anyway, whether as part of a multi-song CD or as a CD single...I am trying to find and buy a CD with this song..for my son, but is a catchy dance type tune in any case..
I've seen Azel F associated with different artists around this time, so, mixing this with what I saw on the video, i am now confused and wondering how to find what i heard/saw.. (maybe Crazy Frog was not the artist?)
Any help finding or identifying what I am looking for is greatly appreciated. I might need to go to Germany or post on the Dance/Hip Hop section to find it

..(i heard this song once on the radio in Portugal, but have not found the 2002/3 song here either)...Thanks in advance
