Now this is just getting silly. A Crazy Frog ringtone is one, slightly annoying, thing. A record being made of said ringtone, and that single beating Coldplay to number one, is depressingly predictable. But two records featuring that bloody animated creature? If you have more than one brain cell, take a deep breath, find your nearest underground bunker and sit and weep sadly for the future of humanity.

This particular record is the brainchild of failed DJs Wes Butters and Daryl Denham. Remember those names for at some point they will be have to be hunted down and charged with crimes against music. This is as horrible as you may imagine. A nagging keyboard riff runs through the song while the frog jabbers away incessently. It'll probably be number one too, and then we'll know that the last days of civilization are upon us.

After listening to this record, I feel that sandpapering my scrotum and then driving a rusty nail through it would have produced less painful effects. Children may love it, but is the music business now so desperately cynical that it has to milk every last coin of pocket money from the naive little tykes? Hopefully, the next Crazy Frog record will feature his cries of agony as he's stuffed into the nearest food blender.
