What's amused me in all this is the fact that the music industry suits are somewhat miffed that a track as awful as Crazy Frog can get to number one.

The irony in this is staggering - those same people who have pedalled the airwaves with The Spice Girls, Boyzone, The Cheeky Girls etc are complaining about crap songs making the charts...

... But even this is nothing new.  Back in 1981, Ultravox's Vienna was held off the top spot thanks to Joe Dolce with "Shaddup You Face", a crime for which he remains unpunished to this day.

Yep.

He then went on with some technical mumbo-jumbo about volume intensity vs volume itself and he managed to skirt the issue. I'd like to tape a bullhorn to his left ear and shout "ARSEHOLE!!"


Thanks X-ray, that's the funniest thing I've heard in ages :lol:

I'd love to do that to messrs Cowell, Fuller and Waterman too.  Just before they're put up against a wall and shot.
