Something tells me that their cover of the track wouldn’t have existed without the Frog and his princess’ Christmas crass-in from a year prior, what with the two versions being pretty much identical save the frantic, phone-speaker-ready Frog-scat.Get the embed code Toad the Wet Sprocket - Playlist: The Very Best of Toad the Wet Sprocket Album Lyrics1.Something's Always Wrong Lyrics2.Way Away (Live) Lyrics3.Come Down Lyrics4.Crazy Life Lyrics5.Brother Lyrics6.Hold Her Down Lyrics7.Fly from Heaven Lyrics8.Walk On the Ocean Lyrics9.Whatever I Fear Lyrics10.Good Intentions Lyrics11.Crowing Lyrics12.All I Want Lyrics13.Fall Down Lyrics14.Way Away - Live LyricsToad the Wet Sprocket Lyrics provided by Special mention should go to the version of “Last Christmas” that was subsequently recorded by Cascada, dance-pop’s equivalent of the cover-happy wedding band. The end result isn’t highly annoying like “Axel F” or surprisingly not-terrible like “Popcorn” it’s just really, well, boring, totally lacking any of the Craziness promised by the Frog’s name and making anyone within earshot wonder where their old cassettes of Music From The Edge Of Heaven had gone. Unfortunately that’s not what we get here instead the Frog is accompanied by an anonymous female vocalist who might even be a slightly pitched-up version of George Michael, so creepily do her vocal tics match those on laid down by the singer some 22 years earlier. Would a version of “Last Christmas” where all of George Michael’s lyrics about love gone wrong were replaced by computer-generated “ring-ding-ding”- and “bing-bing”-ing have been amazing as a pure expression of the mania of the era? Perhaps. Of course, what with the original possessing lyrics, the Frog’s formula had to be tweaked a bit. 5 on the UK pop chart, so the next year, the Frog’s producers decided to bring out the big guns: a cover of Wham!’s recently minted holiday perennial “Last Christmas.” In 2005, the first shot was fired: a double-A-sided single with “Jingle Bells” and “U Can’t Touch This.” But it only peaked at No.
Blobby, the Robbie Williams-assisted Nicole Kidman–who had reached the top spot on the British singles charts during Christmas week. was suffering through its own annoying novelty acts.) This was followed by a cover of Gershon Kingsley’s peppy synth piece “Popcorn” that actually sorta worked sonically, thanks to the two songs being birds of a digitally rendered feather.Įventually, Crazy Frog’s minders deicded to join the pantheon of non-humans–Bob the Builder, Mr. 1 in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, although reception Stateside was a bit cooler - it only peaked at No. The Ministry of Sound hired Kaktus Film and Erik Wernquist of. The frog’s 2005 cover of “Axel F” went to No. The song consists of vocals taken from the Crazy Frog recording by Daniel Malmedahl in 1997. The first two Crazy Frog singles followed a pretty ingenious formula: First, take a popular instrumental track of yore second, digitize it up third, add some of the titular frog’s “ring-ding-ding”ing fourth, profit.

This mid-decade mania was as quick to fall off as it was to take off–remember when pundits straight-facedly said that mobile music was going to lead the industry back to profitability?–but during its heyday it spawned Crazy Frog, a scat-happy digitally animated amphibian who came complete with controversies about exposed genitalia and his parent company lightly defrauding frog-craving children via TV ads. Enter the ringtone, a way for music fans to pay an inflated premium for a snippet of a song so as to “identify” themselves to crowded rooms as suckers.
With the rise of the mobile phone came the rise of ways to make a cheap buck off peoples’ ever-encroaching attachments to their technology.
Ah, ringtones: The 21st-century equivalent of particularly withered lumps of coal.
