Jingle Bells / U Can't Touch This
2005 double A-side single by Crazy Frog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Jingle Bells" and "U Can't Touch This" are two cover songs by Swedish CGI character Crazy Frog. The two songs are the traditional Christmas song "Jingle Bells" and MC Hammer's 1990 single "U Can't Touch This". In Australia, New Zealand, and several mainland European countries, a cover of Wham!'s "Last Christmas" was added as an A-side instead and issued as "Jingle Bells" / "Last Christmas".

"Jingle Bells" / "Last Christmas" was the more successful of the two versions, as it was released in late November 2005 to coincide with the Christmas holiday period. It peaked atop the charts of New Zealand and Spain and was also a top-five hit in Australia, Belgium, and France. In France, its 2005 sales were estimated at 84,367.[1] "Jingle Bells" / "U Can't Touch This" was released in the British Isles instead, peaking at number five on the UK Singles Chart and number 11 in Ireland.
Music videos
"Jingle Bells"
The video starts with the Crazy Frog playing in the snow with the bounty hunter robot from previous clips (in some clips, Crazy Frog's genitals are censored). It then shows flashbacks from clips of "Axel F," the Hall of Mirrors video, and the Crazy DJ clip, then more of the "Axel F" clip. The flashbacks end, and the bounty hunter robot begins to throw a snowball at the frog. But instead, he kisses the bounty hunter robot, and his lips get stuck to it, until the robot pulls him off. They then make snow angels, and a message reads "Have a ding dong Christmas, everyone!"
"U Can't Touch This"
The video shows a shortened version of the events of Popcorn, another video by the Crazy Frog. The video starts with the Crazy Frog fishing on a raft. He catches something (that turns out to be a giant robot under construction) and tries so hard to reel it in that he is pulled off the raft into the water. He then puts on a pair of goggles and starts swimming away from a group of robots. The Crazy Frog starts DJing, and the robots who were once chasing him all dance in unison. The giant robot then tries to stomp on him and kill him, so he comes back to the surface, which is where the video ends.
