The Crazy Frog has labeled uberboyband Westlife 'has-beens', following the news that Westlife & Diana Ross are current favourites for a Christmas no.1 with their joint effort 'When You Tell Me That You Love Me'. The Crazy Frog's Christmas single is yet to be named, but the annoying amphibian says "I'll be revealing it soon enough. But you can expect it to be everything a perfect festive single should be and, without a doubt, it will be THE song at parties and in the playground this Christmas."
The yet-to-be-named single is slated for a 12 Dec release. On the Frog's chances, HMV's Gennaro Castaldo had this to say: "Westlife won't have forgotten that they came off second best to Bob the Builder in Christmas 2000, so they may not relish a chart encounter with the Crazy Frog this time around. It might be an irritatingly catchy tune, but novelty songs always sell well at Christmas and you'd be foolish to write off the Crazy Frog's chances."
Crazy Frog is also confident that Westlife can be batted away from the top slot. "Those has-beens haven't had a number one since November 2003," he croaked. "People have moved on now, life doesn't stand still and nor does the record buyer - it's all about loving frogs now."
Of course it doesn't do to doubt the word of the Frog. He did, after all, have the power to keep Coldplay off the top spot. We should however point out that although Westlife may be even more tedious than Coldplay, not to mention musically bankrupt, we don't feel that they can as yet be described as 'has-beens'. They are, after all, number one in the singles chart. Right now, in fact.
