For inflicting that crazy frog on us!!!
Just watched the news and apprently it comes from you lot!
Bloody thing will be top of our charts coz sad ppls buy the record and the ring tone and the phone wallpapers etc etc.
Just to put things into perspective.....Crazy Frog is out selling ColdPlay by 4 to 1! as much as I don’t like ColdPlay atleast they’re real!

Oh god it was really the Swedes who gave us that thing.... jeez they can take that back!!!! that ruddy advert drives me mad!!!! We’ll keep volvo’s, roxette, ikea and even the meatballs oh and don’t forgot the vodka... but you CAN KEEP the frog!!!

Ally... do you think we want the bloody thing? No, we had to send it to some country that are easily persuaded to take care of the darn thing..... little Britain.. ;))

i live in Sweden and I cannot express my hatred enough for that stupid frog. However, I heard the company were actually German, so who knows?
Vixzter said on May 26, 2005 09:01:
i can’t believe they murdered that Axel F tune to get the thing in the charts
Who is buying it?.... its mostly there on download sales, to buy something online you have to have a credit card or atleast a bank card so this means it can’t just be kids buying it, there are some sick people in this country i think i may have to move out!
Maybe i’ll move 2 sweden and become more annoying than the frog >;-)
If only it was real, i could do some serious damage to it!
ally77 said on May 26, 2005 09:06:
Yeah like make it into a French dish.... I know send the bloody thing to France! they love frogs over there... :)
animalkingdom said on May 26, 2005 09:24:
Have you noticed how pornographic that thing is? ;)
I mean the image of the ’frog’! That thing hanging between his legs - - a friend of mine argued it was his loose bellybutton, but for real! Ha ha!
carbon_boy said on May 26, 2005 09:41:
You think THATS bad?! Look what invaded my country - all the way from Germany: http://www.schnappi.co.za/
rox-kuryliw said on May 26, 2005 10:04:
LOL @ carbon_boy , that got to number 1 in germany ?! :-0 , i thought the frog was bad !
chrisjankunas said on May 26, 2005 10:05:
HA HA HA HA that shnapy is SOOOOO funny !!! It made me laugh “Snish snosh snappy!!!!” OMG I feel for some of you.
DEATH TO CRAZY FROG !!!! ON EVERY AT ADVERT !!!
RobS said on May 26, 2005 11:13:

I feel sorry for everyone that has to listen to it, it’s so bloody annoying.

Oh god I hate those commercials, if you watch MTV they are every 5 minutes. It’s reeeeeeally annoying!
Starrox said on May 26, 2005 13:46:
The company’s called Jamba in Germany - and their commercials really are beyond annoying! The owners used to own what is now known as ebay.de, that’s where they got the money for Jamba (yes, they are German, I’m afraid to say!), so in a way you can thank Ebay for all those stupid frogs, bees and whatnot...
ETA: Since you mentioned Schnappi up there (I can’t even begin to tell you how much I hate that song!): I knew they were trying to release the song in other countries, but I never thought they would go as far as releasing it in South Africa!
tevensso (moderator) said on May 26, 2005 14:12:
It’s a near tie, but I think I HATE Schnappi more than Jamba. How idiotic can you get? And now it’s #1 in Sweden as well... :’(
ally77 said on May 26, 2005 14:19:
Don’t forget they invented Sweety The Chick as well! :) and of course we now have Nessie the little Dino!
Sparvogamarie said on May 26, 2005 15:28:
Schni Schna Schnappi!!! Hahaha I have 2 friends who won’t stop singing that song!!
Vixzter said on May 26, 2005 16:05:
If only this were true.......
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/vixzter/deadfrog.jpg
I would pay good money to see that frog hang!
ally77 said on May 26, 2005 16:44:
I just read the or should I say watched the BBC report on the frog.... Vix is right it did come from Sweden!!! but was sold to Jamba in Germany to make it into a ringtone.... lol
on_a_mission said on May 26, 2005 17:12:
the frog is pornographic, my mates and I spotted that a while ago
And Schnappi is cute. You ain’t human if you don’t like him. No soul whatsoever.
per_mson said on May 26, 2005 17:20:
I’m most definetly human, but I hate Schnappi! I can maybe understand that some people think such a creature is a bit cute, but going from that to be the number 1 selling record in any specific country... that is for me totally weird!! I really, really wonder who is buying such crap CD’s? It does at least not seem to be anyone here....
Jud (moderator) said on May 26, 2005 17:23:
ok.. definetely.. I DO live in another world. I have absolutely NO clue what you talk about, schnappi??? I guess better for me ;)
per_mson said on May 26, 2005 17:31:
Judith, Judith, Judith.....!!! You don’t mean that you have missed this little ugly, green crocodile?!?! Maybe they have a Scnappi filter in Vienna?! ;-)))
Vixzter said on May 27, 2005 04:58:
i havent even bothered clicking on the schnappi link cos its probably related to that chuffin frog in which case they both deserve to be erased from exsistance ;)
carbon_boy said on May 27, 2005 07:11:
Not related at all. LOL! Schnappi is a kiddy’s tune - sung by a lil 5 y/o. The likes of Rammstein, Gigi d’ Agostino and Scooter have remixed it and even in Rammstein’s case: COVERED it! It’s adorably cute, but how it could get to #1 I dunno. And I thought there was no nation like the Brits when it comes down to making a silly little kiddy tune #1 in your country.
;o)
on_a_mission said on May 27, 2005 12:59:
@vix, lol its not
I think its probably people with kids, and wasters who buy Schnappi/ I just thought it was cute, but it is bizarre to have it as a no.1
And yes, lets erase the frog from existence.
Apparently, it was killing mtv nordic’s ratings as people kept channel flicking when the ad came on. Its sooooooooo bad!
Sparvogamarie said on May 28, 2005 12:57:
Jud: weird you don’t know Schnappi when you live in a German speaking country! It’s so darn cute, Schnappi das kleine krokodil! The song is incredibly catchy.
shine said on May 29, 2005 13:14:
I hate Schnapi! The Schnapi song sold over 500.000 Copies here in Germany!
Jud (moderator) said on May 30, 2005 11:10:
I guess it has to do with the fact that I don’t listen to radio and I watch very few tv, just turn it on to watch very selected programs.. and don’t do much zapping either... I guess I wouldn’t know most of the current top 10 songs u’d mention anyway :)
ally77 said on June 1, 2005 07:02:
Oh god the crazy frog is on a T-shirt now here in the UK, avail at HMV! :s
Vixzter said on June 1, 2005 08:55:
ive got that picture of it hanging on my wall now i just have to find my darts and get some vodoo practice in
shine said on June 1, 2005 11:41:
I saw a report about the frog on tv yesterday. They said that they sold 1 Million CDs of it in 1 week! OH MY GOD!!!!!!
I hate all this frog, sweeties, schnappis ect!
*runaway*
ally77 said on June 1, 2005 16:10:
I think the adverts have hidden messages..... **you will buy the CD you sad **** !!! **
ally77 said on June 3, 2005 01:31:
I wish I was :) no I was at the time... I have not seen crazy frog advert today... mind you ain’t seen much TV!
lonely_girl said on June 6, 2005 18:06:
I hate this schnappi and green frog things... >:-(
My mum who is a primary school teacher (she teaches the 7 till 9 year olds) hates this song even though she’s normally quite tolerant...
Sparvogamarie said on June 8, 2005 08:09:
I loooove Mr Chaos - he’s a red devil who does a cool dance. He’s great. And they have a new crazy DJ frog now, he’s really funny.
ally77 said on June 8, 2005 12:25:
@ Vix, have you seen the dancing bear... BROWN BEAR IN THE RING!
**will sit back and wait for this to be told it’s racist**
ally77 said on June 8, 2005 16:48:
If everyone stopped buying there stupid tones and god knows whatever else for phones, they’d go bankrupt!
Vixzter said on June 8, 2005 21:17:
no one will stop buying them while phone companies continue to make bigger and better spec phones.....blame them thats whay i say....if they hadn’t of invented all this poloyphonic,megapixel camera, video messaging, radio/mp3 playing shite then we cud all just use a phone what it was meant for.
;-)
but thank the lord for whoever invented text (sms for non english) message! ;)
on another note....i really want a sony ericsson s700i if anyone has one going FREE! i’ll give it a good home. ;)
shine said on June 8, 2005 21:45:
“If everyone stopped buying there stupid tones and god knows whatever else for phones, they’d go bankrupt! “
I will hope that this happens very soon! *pray*
Vixzter said on June 15, 2005 06:46:
has anyone seen the clip where frog thing starts off on his imaginary bike only to be run over by a train?
whoever thought of that was a genius!
tevensso (moderator) said on June 15, 2005 07:27:
@Vix: Nokia invented the text (SMS), for internal use... :) I thank them equally!
morning_star said on June 21, 2005 04:03:
I think they’re going a bit too far with the frog (I REALLY hate that thing!!!) monkeys etc.
Vixzter said on June 21, 2005 09:46:

Sparvogamarie said on June 21, 2005 12:21:
I bought the Crazy Frog CD, I loooooooooooooove that little guy!
*Ducks as Vix tries to thwack Sparv over the head with a rolled up newspaper*
Cicci_ said on June 21, 2005 16:15:
I was at a party this monday... and the played both that stupid frog song AND the darn Schnappi. They also played the worst remix I’ve ever heard of “Fading like a flower” plus a cover of “När vi två blir en”... On the other hand they played Sommartider twice, but still. Useless music. I had to leave the freaking room...
Vixzter said on June 21, 2005 19:14:

Sparvogamarie said on June 24, 2005 16:39:
You do realise of course that there will be more Frog songs if this one was so successful.....hahhaahaha!
Bam Bam!
ally77 said on June 24, 2005 19:49:
@ Sparvogamarie..... you really should not have said that...
I just watch TOTP’s and the frog has a new release.... it’s just as bad called POPCORN!
**checks calender, nope it’s not April 1st** :S
Vixzter said on June 26, 2005 19:33:
oh my god please tell me he hasn’t gone and screwed over Popcorn by Jean Michelle Jarre?
i might have to go blow up frog headquaters!
ally77 said on June 26, 2005 20:59:
I think we should gather all the frogs and ship them to France... heard they where keen on them...
Vixzter said on June 27, 2005 17:30:
i like frogs that live in ponds that don’t ride motorbikes and go bababa dadada ding and all that bollox, so lets just send crazy frog to france so they can eat the git! ;)
ally77 said on June 29, 2005 06:45:
You know those crazy frog adverts are growing on me.... I get happy when he’s on TV....
I think there are hidden messages in them!
Vixzter said on June 30, 2005 11:24:
