The blog has already made known its feelings about the ascent of the Crazy Frog up the charts.
It comes as no surprise that the matter has also been exercising the Review desk. It is only a shame that it could not be included in our poll of the most atrocious song ever, in which the Birdie Song edged out Agadoo.
The suggestion of a special amphibian-related novelty record poll was floated, putting Crazy Frog up against the pond-dwellers featured in Paul McCartney's 1984 collaboration with Rupert Bear. The Crazy Frog is clearly more annoying, but Macca's tune is more dispiriting since it comes from the same hand that wrote Eleanor Rigby.
But then why deny all those other irritating records. Timmy Mallett covers Itsy Witsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini? Mr Blobby? Star Trekkin' by Dr Demento? Which is the worst?
Meanwhile, in the world of real music, both the White Stripes and Coldplay have albums out next week. So what the Review team are asking in their weekly poll is which, if any, of those two records are we rushing out to buy?
Blog shameless bias correspondent intervenes.
The correct answer, by the way, is the White Stripes. Meawnhile, nominations for most irritating novely act of all time go in the comments field.
