your wrong.
It was Daniel who, as a 17-year-old in 1997, sat down in front of his computer and recorded himself imitating his friends' souped-up mopeds. Although he didn't know it at the time, his funny little recording would one day become the Crazy Frog.
The world would be better off if this wasn't constantly played on its TV screens
Blogger Tim Ireland
"We had many laughs because it's so characteristic, this two-stroke engine sound. My friends found it funny when I started imitating it," he says.
"When we recorded it, we found it very, very funny. We laughed until we got tears."
Before long, an acquaintance of Daniel's had posted the recording on the web, where a researcher on Swedish TV found it and persuaded Daniel to perform the sound live on television.
Daniel Malmedahl: 'I don't know if I can apologise.'
From there, it was used on various websites, particularly on one called the Insanity Test, which had the sound playing alongside a picture of a racing car, with the challenge for people to listen without laughing.
In 2003, Daniel's fellow Swede, Erik Wernquist, drew the now familiar animated frog to go with the sound, christened it The Annoying Thing, and put it on his website for download.
Not rich
And then the final piece in the tale came late last year, when ringtone company Jamster contacted Erik and Daniel for permission to sell it as a download for phones.
The good news is that both men are making some money of their creation.
"Actually Jamster is making a hell of a lot of money," says Daniel. "It's one of the best-selling ringtones in the world. And yes, they give me a cut of it. But I don't think it's even a little percent of how much they are making from it."
"Will it make me rich? No," he laughs. "Actually that's none of your business, but no it's not going to make me rich."
He's more pleased at the attention his sound has got.
"I'm very, very, very stunned that it's gone so far, almost too far. It's such a little creation, it's less than a minute and I would guess that most people actually would have no idea that it's an imitation of a two stroke engine."
