A radio edit was made which had the frog saying "This is the Crazy Frog!" and removed some sounds, and a third edit was made for the Crazy Hits album with the frog saying "I am the Crazy Frog!" This song used the "What's going on?" samples twice throughout the song and the "weeee!" sound is heard before the motorbike section of the song. The original version of the song can be found at most P2P networks. The bounty hunter receives notification of a $50,000 reward for capturing the frog.

The Ministry of Sound hired Kaktus Film and Erik Wernquist of TurboForce3D, the original creator of the 3D Crazy Frog, to produce a full-length animated music video to accompany the release of the song. The song also uses the "What's going on?" vocal samples (as well as the instruments) from another 2003 cover of Axel F, by Murphy Brown and Captain Hollywood (dubbed "Axel F 2003" and sometimes "Axel F 2004" also produced by Matthias Wagner and Andreas Dohmeyer ).
It uses mainly the same part of the two-minute original that was used in Jamster's ringtone release. The song consists of vocals taken from the Crazy Frog recording by Daniel Malmedahl in 1997. Wolfgang Boss and Jamster! arranged the remix, and later marketed it as a ringtone. The cover was produced by Matthias Wagner and Andreas Dohmeyer, the two members of Off-cast Project, and Henning Reith and Reinhard "DJ Voodoo" Raith, two members of the German dance production team Bass Bumpers. The novelty song is Crazy Frog's first and most internationally successful single. In 2005, Crazy Frog recorded the song, releasing it as "Axel F", though it also became known as the "Crazy Frog song".
