Official Crazy Frog NFT release via METABEATS (https://metabeats.io/ ) on 23rd 
December

Resplendent in his birthday suit – as nature intended and as his public has 
come to expect - Crazy Frog returns with a typically anarchic balls-out banger 
'Tricky' (https://lnk.to/CrazyFrogTricky ), released December 10th on Mach 
1/Sony Music.  

Beloved of millennials recalling a moment in history when ringtones ruled and 
downloads dominated, recent rumours of Crazy Frog's return prompted billions of 
views and comments across YouTube, 'Where are you?', 'Please come back', 'Make 
more videos!'.  Coupled with a new found fandom amid the TikTok generation, 
Crazy Frog returns with a wave of affection and nostalgia powering a new series 
of zeitgeist disrupting adventures. 

First up, he puts a rocket under RUN DMC's classic single 'Tricky', launching 
it beyond the dreams of the richest privateer space traveller.  The video 
(https://youtu.be/LeqKIzeZel4 ), directed by Sigfrid Söderberg and Andreas 
Wicklund , hurls our amphibian friend over the gates of a 'super rich space 
travel project', an amphibian hand grenade tossed into the launch zone of the 
Bezos-Musk ego trip, an anarchic viral bombshell amid a billionaire's 
playground.

Crazy Frog spawned from the creative hive mind of an early noughties industry 
on the threshold of a bold but destructive digital revolution. A.I., streaming, 
blockchains and crypto all sat tantalisingly out of reach in an ill-defined 
digital future, when Wolfgang Boss (now EVP A&R for Sony Music) together with 
production team VooDoo Music and animator Erik Wernquist from Kaktus Films, 
created the most unlikely of pop superstars. 

Back in 2005, 'The Frog' took down the established industry old guard with a 
combination of high-definition animation and less well defined creative 
provenance.  Five top 20 hits later, number 1 in over 30 countries, the biggest 
selling single of 2005, with over a million albums sold and in excess of 6 
BILLION YouTube views Crazy Frog remains a cultural phenomenon.  The original 
viral superstar, Crazy Frog rose to prominence by dominating the short-lived 
ringtone format but remains ubiquitous thanks to Tik Tok and YouTube presence 
chalking up over 1million YouTube plays every day. 

In early 2021 Crazy Frog was plucked from his decade long wellness retreat – 
aka collective millennial amnesia – and was reborn in the arms of a new 
generation of TikTok influences. Last spring a raft of TikTokers with millions 
of followers, including Kimberly Loaiza (55.2m) and Karla Bustillos (20m), 
performed choreographed dances to the track, the Frog was back. 

Refreshed and rejuvenated from his mid-career sabbatical on the lily-pads, The 
Frog now resides within Crazy Frog Entertainment, a subsidiary of Söderberg's 
Kaktus Film and the original producer team Reinhard Raith, Henning Reith and 
Wolfgang Boss. Under their creative guidance a new album is in-bound for 2022, 
along with regular singles, videos, a live performance and even a TV series.  

Crazy Frog is even set to disrupt the nascent NFT market place with their own 
Non-Fungible Token release on December 23rd  through METABEATS
