But do you know who invented it? It was a 17-year-old student in Sweden who created the original sound, by imitating his friendtasks moped. Then a graphic designer drew the frog, and the ringtone company Jamster began to sell it. Finally, a German band made a record based on the ringtone, and it reached "umber one in the UK singles chart.
