Lore about Frog Junior and Frog Senior can be found on the official The Crazy Frogs Facebook page.

It describes them as a grandson and grandfather who have their differences due to the generational gap, but are nonetheless friends who love music, with any competition between the two being friendly.

Jamster alluded to the original Crazy Frog brand in promotional material & social media posts with the phrase "It's time to go crazy again!"

While most of the frog vocals in The Ding Dong Song are new, the "pscht" noise of Daniel Malmedahl's original Crazy Frog sound was sampled at the 0:28 mark.

Crazy Frog Trivia #24 #CrazyFrog

The music video for We Are the Champions ends with Crazy Frog awakening from his dream, relieved to be back in his bed in the blue void.

According to the storyboards, it was originally going to end with the reveal that his bed was in the middle of a soccer field.

The final shots of the storyboard for Crazy Frog's We Are the Champions music video.

The top screencap shows Crazy Frog bolting awake in his bed with two spotlights shining on him. This would've transitioned via a smash zoom out to the bottom screencap, which reveals the Crazy Frog's bed to be in the middle of a soccer field.

Crazy Frog starts off as shocked at the beginning of the shot, but appears to be calm and smiling at the end of it.

Three days ago, the official Crazy Frog TikTok account posted a short video that uses generative AI to distort various images of the character.

Due to it being inherently unethical, Crazy Frog News will not be endorsing the clip or any official Crazy Frog content that utilizes Gen AI.

The live YouTube premiere of the music video for Crazy Frog's comeback single Tricky contained a unique render during it's countdown.

The render was of the proper music video's opening scene with Crazy Frog appearing inside some Looney Tunes-inspired red rings.

Crazy Frog makes victory signs with his hands while inside red glowing rings that are reminiscent of the opening and closing titles of the classic Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies cartoons. A countdown is below Crazy Frog, which at the time of the screenshot, was 01:20.

While the Axel F CD single was released in different areas of the world on different dates, the official Crazy Frog YouTube upload for the single's Radio Mix seemingly confirms May 17th, 2005 as the original release date.

Text taken from the description of the official Crazy Frog YouTube channel's upload of Axel F Radio Edit.

The text reads: "Axel F Radio Edit · Crazy Frog, Axel F, ℗ 2005 Mach 1 Records GmbH, Released on: 2005-05-17, Auto-generated by YouTube."

The music video for Crazy Frog's Axel F, created by Kaktus Film, is the twelfth highest viewed video on YouTube.

According to music data site kworb, it consistently places high on the "Today's Most Viewed Music Videos on YouTube" list.

A large screen connected to a building shows footage of the original 2003 "The Annoying Thing" short of Crazy Frog miming a motorbike while imitating it's engine. The word "WANTED" blinks on the top of the screen, while the text "REWARD 50,000" scrolls across the bottom.

Twenty years ago on May 17th, 2005, the Crazy Frog's hit CD single Axel F was first released.

Produced by Henning Reith and Reinhard Raith of Bass Bumpers, this pop cover of the Beverly Hills Cop theme (originally composed by Harold Faltermeyer) became a No. 1 hit in many areas around the world.

This fourth-wall break was considered notable enough to be mentioned in the "On Television" section of Wikipedia's page on Letterboxing (filming):

Crazy Frog Trivia #22 #CrazyFrog

The letterbox version of the Axel F music video contains a fourth-wall break during the ending where Crazy Frog holds on to the bottom black bar to pull himself up.

As the widescreen version inherently lacks these bars, this particular joke is lost.

The ending shot of the letterbox version of the Crazy Frog music video, Axel F.

After the heat-seeking missile explodes and causes a mushroom cloud in the city, Crazy Frog grabs onto the bottom black bar to pull himself up to deliver the final "bam bam" noise of the song. He then rests on the bar while looking at the viewer until the screen cuts to black.

This is similar to the boost given to the player when the accelerate button is pressed at the correct time when the race starts, which also isn't mentioned in either manuals.

But whereas that mechanic is standard in the kart racing genre, the ability to do so after falling is less obvious. (2/2)

Crazy Frog Trivia #21 #CrazyFrogTrivia

The two Crazy Frog Racer games on PlayStation 2 and PC have a mechanic that is not mentioned in either game's manuals.

When being placed back on the track after a fall, pressing the Accelerate button at the correct time will give your character a boost. (1/2)
