Crazy Frog Displaced by Baaarmy Sheep

Dear oh dear. The Crazy Frog saga takes another turn. :shakehead

And quite a bizarre one at that!

Crazy Frog Displaced by Baaarmy Sheep

The Crazy Frog's Christmas single - Jingle Bells -gets its first UK airplay today and is widely tipped to become a music chart Christmas number one. But the "Baarmy Sheep" of the Lake District are launching a pre-emptive strike by making their own version of Jingle Bells available for free from the website of Cumbria Tourist Board at www.golakes.co.uk/xmasbaarmysheep

There's also a Baarmy Sheep Christmas megamix featuring their rendition of Good King Wenceslas, Hark The Herald Angels Sing and While Shepherds Watch Their Flocks By Night. The sheep were recorded and filmed live for the Christmas single.

Eric Robson, chairman of Cumbria Tourist Board, said: "Christmas may be the season of goodwill to all men - but not Crazy Frog's!

"Visitors from all over the world love the Lake District and our sheep, so we're confident people will prefer our version."

"Who knows, a break in Cumbria - the Lake District might be the only place to escape the Crazy Frog and the stress of Christmas this year!"

The Baarmy Sheep first took on the Crazy Frog in June when they released a sheep ringtone Jerusalem - in response to the animated cartoon's growing domination of television, airwaves and mobile phones.

Thousands of people logged onto www.golakes.co.uk to download the sheep ringtone and watch the video, while a story about sheep-turned-rock stars became headline news in the national and foreign media.

Now for a dyed-in-the-wool music fanatic like myself, I simply hate to see them kermit this crime against Christmas and human ears.

If thethis spreads to Europe, then I assure you there will be a huge number of crazy Frogs.

 

[Shaihulud]

They will suffer, they will all suffer before they die.

 

[Iggy]

Ahhh. Spare us from this madness!

Thankfully I live in Australi, which means it will be here tomorrow.

 

[Rambuchan]

Personally, I just wish the guys behind the Crazy Frog would just croak it.

 

[nonconformist]

Ewe must be having a giraffe if you think we'd be fleeced into buying it.

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Bah, theyre just trying to pull the wool over our eyes.

 

[Speedo]

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

 

[Rambuchan]

Well they've managed to pull the wool over the eyes of many a teenager this year already. I wouldn't be surprised if the dumb kids came flocking to the websites and text boxes to get more of that idiotic nonsense.

Wasn't there some ban on its adverts anyway?

 

[nonconformist]

Now you're just milking it, Ram.

 

[Rambuchan]

Quit your bleeting will you Noncon.

 

[Che Guava]

just another way of Ramming christmas down our throats!

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Thats a good one, Im turning green with envy. Id better jump to it.

 

[Rambuchan]

Does anyone else agree that these 'musicians' are kermitting a grave crime once again!?

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Sheep? Ram, will you ever stop teasing the Scots??

 

[Richard Cribb]

When I hear "Crazy Frog", I can't help thinking of my sister...

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Im surprised the mods arent shepherding this thread yet.

 

[nonconformist]

S'now big surprise; after all, the Lord is my Shepherd.

They are getting a bit better: last year they did it for the green, this time, they're willing to shear...
