IT IS HAPPENING! DECEMBER 10TH, MARK THE DATE

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-59296288

 

The blue animated amphibian, known for riding an imaginary motorcycle while impersonating the sound of its engine, famously beat Coldplay to UK number one with his version of Axel F - the theme to the Beverly Hills Cop films.

 

The infuriatingly infectious frog will return on YouTube on 10 December.

 

The comeback track will be a mash-up of classic hits inspired by TikTok trends.

 

The decision to release new music follows an increase in interest on YouTube, according to Wolfgang Boss, president of A&R for Sony Music, who has produced and owns all of Crazy Frog's music through his Mach 1 record label.

 

The Axel F video, first uploaded in 2009, now has 3.1 billion views and is the 19th most popular video in YouTube's history.

 

The original single, based on the Crazy Frog ringtone, topped charts around the world in 2005, including in the UK, where it held the top spot for four weeks.

 

In an age where the "ringtone is completely dead", Boss hopes the new track and video will eventually find a new generation of fans on TikTok, where much of today's viral music content is created.

 

"When we started Crazy Frog, there was no TikTok, it didn't exist," Boss said. "But right now TikTok is super important. It's basically the number one platform for people to share new music and funny things connected with music."

 

Boss is creating the comeback with the project's original DJ producer Reinhard "Voodoo" Raith.

Oh yes :wub:

 

Time for the comeback of a generation!!

 

Crazy Frog was always famous during summer exams season ... that is when this comeback should happen, not during the mad xmas rush.

Whilst true he did have a top 5 Xmas song too.

 

As someone who was in primarily school when the original crazy Frog stuff came out I'm totally here for this but honestly thing they've left it a few years too late.

 

Eh, the character’s been out out of public consciousness for years anyway - I’m not sure it being released a few years earlier would make any difference.

 

(Perhaps worse if anything, as they’re citing TikTok as a reason behind them brining the character back)
