Ding Ding Ding Ding, Dididing Ding Bing

Crazy Frog's "Axel F" isn't so much infectious as it is incessant.
The first ringtone to top the British singles charts, this song bores itself into your head and remains there like a computer virus.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding, Dididing Bing Bing Pscht Weeeeeeeeeee!"
I downloaded the song last night, after reading about its chart success on the BBC Web site. Crazy Frog outsold Coldplay's comeback single by four to one last week.
Jill, the girls and I listened to Crazy Frog's novelty version of the "Beverly Hills Cop" theme about five times in a row. We also watched the video -- a computer-generated cartoon in which the big-eyed, invisible-moped-riding Amphibian eludes a massive robot chasing him on a flying motorcycle.
Of course, such a technological marvel was first concocted by a Swede. Read about Daniel Malmedahl's Frankenstein-monster-like creation here and here.
Then a German company grafted the original "Annoying Thing" ringtone to the "Axel F" song.
Pray that this fad never makes it big in the United States: You will never dislodge this song from your brain.
