And this year, as with last year, Crazy Frog’s PR Company are hoping to make the demon, motorbike-mouthed, frog from hell the next Christmas number one. Crazy Frog’s record/marketing company are hoping their lazy remake of the already iffy Christmas song Last Christmas will do the trick — although Wham’s original only ever made it to number two in Britain. Crazy Frog’s version of Last Christmas sounds as if a group of Mormon Tabernacle Choir rejects sang “Last Christmas” with the digitized “runndududundundun, ringdidingdingding, bingbing” over the top. That’s it! No need to go out and buy this bile you have just heard it right here. Don’t participate in this, the epitome of marketing run amok.
Crazy Frog is just another way to take your money off you. This is not something you will cherish forever; it is not something special. It’s something that any 12-year-old could make on their home computer. If you need to give away £3.99 give it to charity, give it to Children in Need, UNICEF or Cancer Research. Support people who really need it. So to sum up, unless you feel the need to catch aural syphilis, I would avoid Crazy Frog this Christmas because he is bringing you something very nasty. Ear poison.

Aural syphilis about sums it up! I was never a fan of the Crazy Frog (much to my brother and mother's shock) and its various incarnations have forever traumatised me. There is some small comfort in knowing I'm not alone.
Bill Nighy's character in said film about was very funny.
Ah poo, now I miss Christmas in Britain... :(

I love Bill Nighy! He is easily one of my favourite actors! Certainly my favourite British actor!

Crazy Frog's version of Wham's 1984 single 'Last Christmas' is hilarious. Take the single with a pinch of salt, but be warned, it will probably go Top 10 this Xmas. Ding Ding!

Hey, consider it a homage to George Michael and Wham. It's got the festive spirit. In the video Santa is kidnapped by evil demons and Crazy Frog saves the day. The only thing missing is George smoking a spliff. Give the frog a break, willya?

That doesn't stop it being pish! Don't waste your money honestly!

My kids love Crazy Frog. All their mates are playing this song at school. It's fun. Give the kids what the want. Actually, it's a pretty good cover of Wham's 1984 hit. If it shuts the kids up, I'm all for it.

Dear Mrs. Scrooge,
I think you are taking this song too seriously. Have you seen the video? It's really cute and ties in nicely with the festive spirit.
Ding-Ding!!
