Four year old outselling Kylie and Robbie in Germany

Four-year-old Joy Gruttmann's nursery song 'Snappy the Little Crocodile' is outselling the latest Kylie and Robbie Williams singles in Germany.

Forget the X-Factor and Pop Idol - if you want pop success these days you need an irritating song, a website - oh yes, and a four year old. Or at least that's the case in Germany anyway, because four year old Joy Gruttmann is currently outselling the latest Kylie and Robbie Williams singles there with her track 'Snappy the Little Crocodile'. The toddler's parents put the joke nursery song online where it was picked up by a radio station in Cologne. Now everyone is playing it, her website is selling a whole range of Snappy merchandise, and a dance remix is doing the rounds in Germany's clubs and getting airtime on MTV. Marvellous.
