Crazy Frog

WE SAY

We've had far too many conversations about Crazy Frog records this year, and it was us who hooked Gut up with this version, licensed from Wolfgang Boss in Germany. At one point, the buzz around the ringtone was so massive that ANY Crazy Frog record would have been a hit - but none of the many versions were quite ready to go at that point. Now, this version feels like the hit. Musically it's the best of the bunch, plus, crucially, it has a great animated video that will hold huge appeal for kids. See it here.
