Its a worrying sign that the first company to actively spam TV commercials (I'm not kidding, this thing is on 2-3 times every commercial break) ends up with a hit single from it.

Jamster must be the most hated company in the UK by now and yet a bunch of schoolkids are sending them to the top of the charts.

Amazingly, I'm yet to hear any mobile phone ring with one of these tunes. This is probably a good thing, considering where the first phone that I do hear is likely to end up!

Jamster ads are the best thing in the world for getting toddlers to stop crying.

Lori,

I read an article about this in one Australia's national dailies this morning.

The one interesting point was that when things go in the other direction to this example, (i.e. song being made into ring tone) the artists get 11% of the revenue compared to 6% for a CD single.

If I see anyone buying this tune, I will kill them. No jokes. Anyone listening to this of their own accord needs to be removed from the gene pool ASAP.

A ringtone hitting top of the chart... what has the world come to?

Also, OP is right, Jamster (the company owning this ringtone) has a slot on EVERY commercial break... this [censored] is driving me mad & am sure is driving everyone mad in the UK.

Presumably by everyone except their shareholders Frog ringtone makes £10m

Personally, I can't wait for the villagers to attack Castle Jamster with torches and pitchforks one foggy night.

THE FROG MUST DIE!
