Crazy Frog

Bing Bing Braaam!

This strange few syllables has swept the world. It is quite strange that something so simple can be so successful...
It topped the box offices in the UK, sweeping away eager artists.

I have been thinking to why this thing sells so good...
-> I think it appeals to evey kid inside us. All remembers playing with "Ferraris" chasing each other with sounds similar to Crazy Frog.
-> It is a Crazy Frog that does the sounds. The industry has never had something like this (excluding Paris Hilton's dog). It easily recognised.
"Have you seen that frog thing?"
"There is the frog song!"
-> Well then it also makes a cool ringtone of course.
-> Then the last one which I think lends to this things success....

ABSOLUTELY IMPECCABLE MARKETING. Aim...
This guy managed millions to fall in love with a crazy frog re-enacting a Formula 1 race. Truly brilliant.

Of course with this success everyone is trying to cash in on it. Horrible clones are sprouting everywhere.
Nifty Ninja
Party Monkeys
Humping Bumblebee (I am not kidding).

What is next?
Pacman Punch?
