NIM NIM NIM REDUX

I make no apology for what is going on in the video. It's an animated donkey. Pouting. Aieee. But the song has wormed its way into my brain and now will not leave.

Oh is that a *donkey*? I thought it was a dog. That makes marginally more sense anatomically, now. Not a lot more sense, obviously, since last time I checked donkeys didn't have only the two breasts but what with all this GM stuff you never know, etc.

HORRA. Oh god I hate Jamster, so much but to be fair, this is actually the sort of thing which would be Radio One's *Jo Whiley voice* 'I can guarantee this will be the big Ibiza anthem and if not I'M GOING TO PLAY IT UNTIL IT MAKES YOUR BRAIN BLEED' if it wasn't being sung by a cartoon dog.

Has a certain Star Wars cantina appeal, too.

I know someone mentioned Holly Dolly a while back--maybe Chuck on the teenpop thread? Anyway, I got totally fascinated by this and then totally forgot about it, which is why I'm a bad music critic. Point is, the rest of the album was nowhere near as good, and seemed to involve a lot of repurposed nursery rhymes, which was fascinating inasmuch as it makes it like Donkey Konga, but also not very pleasant to listen to.

For the non-euros in the audience, what's the context of this?

Jamster take over the advertisement breaks of every single channel (particularly music channels) with this and flog it to pre-teens as a ringtone for about £3 a pop and get them hooked up to a subscription to buy more ringtones. And it counts in the single charts every time someone buys it.

Thus: the Crazy Frog.

Still not as good as Holly Valance. NEXT.
