when did the crazy frog song come out
Crazy Frog Crazy Frog, originally known as The Annoying Thing, is a Swedish computer-animated character created in 2003 by Swedish actor and playwright Erik Wernquist. Marketed by the ringtone provider Jamba! (later known as Jamster), the animation was originally created to accompany a sound effect produced by Australian singer songwriter Sav Martino and Daniel Malmedahl in 1997 while attempting to imitate the sound of a two-stroke engine.
I Heard It Through the Grapevine The Miracles recorded the song first and included their version on their 1968 album, Special Occasion. The Marvin Gaye version was placed on his 1968 album In the Groove, where it gained the attention of radio disc jockeys, and Motown founder Berry Gordy finally agreed to its release as a single in October 1968, when it went to the top of the Billboard Pop Singles chart for seven weeks from December 1968 to January 1969 and became for a time the biggest hit single on the Motown label (Tamla).
