Ringtones: Crazy Frog
Good God.
Here's the story as I understand it: Apparently, some kid (Daniel Malmedahl ) recorded his voice as an imitation of a two-stroke moped engine. Some other guy named picked it up and put it on a Flash file as a joke. Then another guy used his soundtrack to provide a basis for animation and lip-synching proactice for his animations for The Annoying Thing, this Crazy Frog movie... It then got picked up by JAMSTER (EU Ringtone company) and then it sold over $14MM in ringtones. Ministry of Sound then commisioned a German DJ crew to create a dance mix .. (the Axel F overlay) and then they re-commissioed the guy who did the origional animation to do the fulllength music video. The CD is now #1 in the UK music charts. You can buy the CD on-line .. or get the tune in itunes!
All because some 17 yo did some silly sh*t on the internet.
Wait. It's here on Wiki with a better explanation than I just provided. READ THIS.

I'm sort of torn on that. On one hand, it's really cool that some kid got to make a billion million dollars out of something he just did on the Internet, but on the other hand, MAN, I hate that thing. (And I am baffled w/r/t the whole Having A Number One with it....)

This confirms what I've long suspected... I'm not really from this planet.
