If anyone has a doomsday device on their person . . .

this might be a good time to use it.

Could it become the worst British number one since The Birdie Song? Or even since Bohemian Rhapsody? The extinction of all life on Earth would be a kinder fate.

Dear god - it's almost enough to make me want to force everyone I know to go buy the Coldplay single.

[zotz]

Steady on - I'm not sure things are quite that serious.

Now let's be serious, it's not as bad as Bohemian Rhapsody.

jesus. it's... agh... that's it, we can't go any lower, musically, can we? How is it possible to create a single with any less substance or originality than that?

Actually, sod musically, we can't go any lower as a society... who was it who said you can control a society through it's music? If that's so, we're being turned into zombies. Hardly news, but... I think I need to go listen to some Joy Division now.

Bugger, it's bad enough the coverage it's getting on TV. I need to know where the remote is at all times.

I'm thinking that no TV is better than this.

I've not heard it, but surely it can't be worse than Coldplay?

[nils.livejournal.com]

My sentiments exactly.

[zotz]

Well, I have heard it. Once you have - and fear the future now, because it's inevitable - then you can judge.

I've heard it and I'd still rather buy a hundred copies of it than even one of that Coldplay rubbish.

[zotz]

The Coldplay I'm unlikely to hear much unless I buy it. The Frog I'm going to be having shoved down my throat for months regardless of my personal choices, including seeping out of people's phones in places where I should be safe from recorded music. Furthermore, Coldplay's main flaw is to be insipid, and therefore naggingly annoying but mostly background. The Frog is, infamously, designed to be as intrusive as possible.

Yes it can.

And I believe Gareth plans to get it played at Neon sometime. Please let me know when he's going to DJ, so I can safely run away.

I first heard the "Crappy Fuck" er, frog sound back in 1999, on the Internet as some kind of madness test. It was annoying then. In fact, annoying doesn't cover it, grating might.

And WTF must half the bloody web put it as a sound in flash on the heads of their websites? It just makes me close the site down instantly to make it go away. Negative advertising finally wins.

Hmm. Perhaps anti-handling devices could be fitted to the decks?

A web page with a picture of Rubens Barichello in his F1 ferrari as I recall adn the frog as an engine note. It was quite funny then.

Many bad UK No.1 hits since the Birdie Song, Mr Blobby, Bob the Builder etc...

The Chavvy Frog is horrible, to be sure, but no worse than Coldplay and certainly nowhere near as vacuous and po-faced as Chris Martin.

[zotz]

I refer you to my previous answer. Coldplay I can generally manage to avoid. Frogs get everywhere.

Oh, you've got to be fucking joking. I heard that original crazy bastard frog sound on an old Flash animation called 'insanity test', long before crazy frog came and force-fed the same pissy sound into the ears of all and sundry.

What's the world coming to when some lazy fuck can't even invent their own annoying, stupid sound? Not much, I believe.
