Crazy Frog

Crazy Frog...that stupid crazy frog....although the origin of the frog is not a frog, it's from Daniel Malmedahl. This man is responsible for creating a number one hit. A hit that overtook Coldplay in the UK Pop Charts. You see, from this man, he spawned a ringtone craze! If he only realised that it will be remixed twice and be converted into a single...This frog has become the latest thing in popular ringtones. The ringtone itself is ok, I actually don't hear any on the streets. But it's the excessive advertising (mostly through ringtone company Jamster) that bugs me. It's everywhere! This guy snorts cocaine using the money he earned from Crazy Frog The Battle vs. It's on TV, on the radio and now it's creeping excessivley into web banners! Not only that, but the web banners have a music sample of the Crazy Frog Axel F remix! Arrrrrrgh. Now everytime I check my mail or edit my Bravenet settings I get this annyoing synthesiser music techno remix crap blaring on my speakers! You heard me, remixed pieces of crap. So that got me thinking...From one of my earlier posts on Hip Hop music...what constitiutes real music? Is this remix of a man imitating a Swedish Moped real music? Can you tell me the actual skill involved in dubbing a sample of a ringtone over a techno beat? This piece of crap beat Coldplay, a band that had to learn their own instruments! Not the programming knowledge of a mixing program. Nothing unnerves me more than a DJ (of the non-turntablism kind) believing there is some real skill in mixing two songs..."LOOK I CAN CROSSFADE! Now give me money and bitches". Bedroom DJ's don't mean jack in my book...bring on the musical masters of instruments such as Bach, Beethoven, Hendrix, Charlie Parker, Ray Charles etc etc. What a sad state of affairs! Already I was under the impression that there was alot of crap on the pop charts only to be told that a ringtone is considered better than all that crap. What a load of crap! That means we have a piece of shit leading a chart of crap. You following me? Maybe shit is the new "in" thing for music these days....how would I know how these teeny boppers think. Next thing you know it, they will be playing video clips of Shit on MTV and VH1. Why not? Now why don't I make a remix of "Mary had a little Lamb" to the beats of "In Da Club". Sounds shit? Good, that means it will be number one. Here's a preview of my new video clip from my band called Shit. P.S. I'm sorry, but I said shit and crap 11 times...too much for me
