It's music, not Claws N Paws.

Don't ask me where it started, who started it, or why it started, but for some reason, there was once a trend where techno music featured computer-animated animals. I have a feeling it had something to do with the success of the mid-2000s group Gorillaz, who were not people, but cartoons. That said, their songs were actually good compared to the nonsense we're about to send packing.

Abu Dhabi, meet Crazy Frog (who apparently, according to Wikipedia, started with the name The Annoying Thing - they should have kept the literal name so that you knew what to expect before you listened to them...though, in reality, would you expect anything good from an act called Crazy Frog? Wow, I'm rambling...). I have no idea who Crazy Frog is...or, at least, I don't know who the person that made the music is. The track is harmless enough, I suppose, so I'm not sure why it could not have just had a human representing it. That said, they're clever enough to sneak in the thought-provoking lyrics of "ribbit ribbit" to hammer home the fact that, yes, indeed, a FROG IS MAKING TECHNO MUSIC. I had to look long and hard for a video to actually post here, as videos from their official Vevo page (who gave these guys one of those?!?) is blocked in America by the page's uploaders. Much appreciated, guys!

Also, watching the video, I haven't quite figured out why this frog is supposed to be crazy.  He's not exactly in some crazy situation - unless you count a frog going fishing to be crazy.  He just looks kind of disgruntled, which isn't really crazy at all, and just makes me think of one thing:

Just like shirts where Tweety Bird is the epitome of attitude, Crazy Frog needs to hop on over to Abu Dhabi.
