The Jamba! Crazy Frog has been selling four times more singles in the UK than Coldplay.

The iTMS link is Crazy Frog. You might need to switch to the British iTMS for it to work.

Is mankind doomed?

The music is kind of crazy cool.

I believe the answer is yes, but there were lot's of warning signs prior to this. More stunning to me is that Gorillaz's new album isn't charting on iTMS in the U.S. yet, despite the single being way up there.

That's because Coldplay sucks.

That may be your opinion, but there is NO-WAY in any ones mind they could suck as much as this ringtone/track. The damn thing has ruined commercial TV/Radio in the UK (ie all channels except the BBC ones) by being on at least once in (more than once in most) EVRY ad brake. The bleeding thing was annoying enough years back when it was a stupid Flash movie with a pic of a F1 car on it, This has now escalated to whole new levels of irritation.

Ah, "Axel F"... gotta love the '80s.

Beverly Hills Cop theme performed by a techno-wank and a frog amped out on meth.

That's forks-in-the-ear-drums kind of bad.

I have removed the ariel from my television in fear of seeing that bastarding advert just one more time, I fear it would tip me over the edge.

i can't believe people are PAYING for ringtones. pay? pfft, iTunes, Quicktime, whatever. and homemade ringers come out super. My phone plays .aac and .mp3 files as ringers, fantastic.

"Carribbean Queen" by Billy Ocean (current ringer on my phone)

What he said. I am just completely knackered that kids pay big money for ring tones. It's a billion dollar industry these days. Christ, $3 for a bloody polyphonic tone?!!!!!!!11111!!!!!

Albert Pujols · May 26, 2005, 06:28 AM

Whats with all these ring tones anyway, a simple *ring* *ring* *ring* should be sufficient.

ajprice · May 26, 2005, 07:00 AM

Well if your phone rang and it had the same ring ring as everyone elses, then you and everyone else would go for their mobile to see if it was their phone. Trouble is now that all these ****s have bought the frog ringtone, the phone goes dingadingdingding-bahhh-baahh-dingadingding and everyone goes to their phone to see if its theirs! My solution is to have Paddy's car alarm from Phoenix Nights... "Get back yer b*st*rd or I'll break yer legs!"

. Then I know its my phone!

Diggory Laycock · May 26, 2005, 07:06 AM

There's no accounting for taste.

ism · May 26, 2005, 07:49 AM

It's annoying the hell out of me and my girlfriend. Unfortunately our 4 year daughter likes it. I've told her off!

Indeed. I've currently got the Trogdor theme as my ringer. Usually surprises people a bit! (although phone's set to vibrate most of the time) Also works as a very good alarm in the mornings!

"TROGDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!!! TROGDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!!!"

Gets me out of bed in no time!

Rev-O quietly ponders this before sneaking off to examine the wife's cell phone, to find a way to dl trogdor as a ring tone...
