Appears that the various authorities governing television advertising have been deluged by complaints about the Crazy Frog ringtone adverts on telly. Have to admit they are more than a bit annoying and even more so when you hear them on a phone....(mentioning no names Rhys ).

Anyway the authorities have said they have no power to stop the ads showing so many times during the day as they only govern the content and not the timings.

I just wish someone would run that frog over....

Years ago, following coverage on BBC radio two, I had the whole thing downloaded, cant find it now, then it was supposed to be the new arrows engine.

I'm with Goldryder....That annoying thing, as it's originator named it, has me cringing every time I hear it

So in the interest of complete opened minded information gathering, I did some research...

And found the Lyrics Yes......... Someone took the time to listen and write down lyrics to that strange, annoying, purple frogs Ringtone!!!!!!

What's mad, is the fact that the corporate music industry is spitting out Dance variations for exactly the same reasons that made "infamous" in the first place!

Pondlife - A Radio one DJ ("Hi it's" Wes Butters) and friends did that version before he left the station, now AxelF Whos next?? Geri Halliwell??

The phase "Cash Cow" is slowly creeping into the picture!
