Ding-Ding! Crazy FrogFrog is back in December.

Crazy FrogFrog, the force behind the viral song that brought the single to the top of the world charts in 2005, is back. The blue animated amphibious vehicle, known for riding imaginary motorcycles while embodying the sound of its engines, overtook Coldplay to number one in the UK with its version of Axel F - the theme of the Beverly Hills Cops film.

The highly contagious FrogFrog returns to YouTube on December 10. The repeating track will be a mix of classic hits inspired by TikTok trends. The decision to release new music follows growing interest on YouTube, according to Wolfgang Boss, President of A&R at Sony Music, which produces and owns all of Crazy Frog's theme through his Mach 1 label.

Axel F's video, which was first uploaded in 2009, has been viewed 3.1 billion times and is the 19th most popular video in YouTube history. Based on the song Crazy Frog, the original single topped charts worldwide in 2005, including the UK, where it topped the list for four weeks.

When the "ringtone is dead," Boss hopes that new songs and videos will eventually find a new generation of fans on TikTok, where much viral music content is currently being created.

"When we launched Crazy Frog, there was no TikTok, nothing," said Boss. "But right now, TikTok is essential. Boss recreated it with the original DJ producer from Reinhard's "Voodoo" Raith project.

Daniel Malmedal accidentally created the sound that would become Crazy Frog in 1997. At the age of 17, he mingled with his friends and recorded trying to recreate the sound of their moped engine.

"When we recorded it, we had fun. We laughed until we cried." His friends eventually published the tape online, and the internet took over. In 2003 the voice was given a body by Swedish graphic designer Eric Vernkvist, who drew the famous animated FrogFrog to match the recording. Predictably, he named it Annoying Thing and made it available for download on his website.

Crazy FrogFrog, perhaps the first meme to appear on the internet, was born. The original Axel F Crazy Frog video sparked controversy. It showed off the creature's genitals, which resulted in an initial ban in the United States and a complaint from parents in the UK to the Advertising Standards Authority pending processing.

This time, Boss said, "The new video will feature Crazy Frog, as intended - with a penis." "But we have to do the censored version again because the American media won't show the original."
