Crazy Frog to hop into Australia
IF you thought frogs were on the endangered list in Australia, think again.
The hysteria surrounding an annoying, spluttering frog, which sprang to life as a ringtone, is set to spread to Australia.
The UK went hopping mad for Crazy Frog Axel F when it was released as a single there two weeks ago, pushing it to the No.1 spot ahead of Coldplay's Speed of Sound.
Local record companies are now locked in a bidding war, all trying to get the jump on each other to release it as a single here.
It was released in the UK on independent Gusto Records, which once had a licensing deal with BMG Australia (now Sony-BMG).
But a Sony-BMG spokeswoman yesterday could not confirm any deal.
"It's very popular. Any record company would like to have it," she said.
According to an industry source, the tune is still up for grabs.
