Music Banter - Be Afraid , Be VERY Afraid

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the.....pond, the frog is back!!

After four weeks at the UK number 1 spot with his version of 'Axel F' (seeing off Coldplay and U2 along the way) the Crazy Frog finally hopped off the top spot on Sunday - though not before becoming an international phenomenon and the 2nd biggest selling single of 2005 behind Tony Christie.

As the saying goes, you can't keep a good frog down and the Crazy Frog has swapped his helmet for ear phones and waist coat for a Hawaiian shirt as he takes to the decks to mix his version of Gershon Kingsley's Popcorn. A massive international hit in 1972 for Hot Butter it hit No. 1 in Germany where it sold more than 1 million copies whilst giving keyboard fanatics a replacement for 'Chopsticks' along the way.

Now 33 years later the little amphibian chap has brought it bang up to date with production and mixes courtesy of Bass Bumpers.

The Crazy Frog - Popcorn ringtone is already proving incredibly popular on the Jamster website with predictions that it could even rival the popularity of the Crazy Frog - Axel F ringtone.

Popcorn will be released on 15th August and will be accompanied by a CGI video created by Kaktus Films.
