Sheep take on Crazy Frog
The ringtone industry will never get over that Crazy Frog, and since imitation is the best form of flattery, a UK tourist board has come up with their own sheepish version.
The BBC reports that a selection of sheep bleating shave been added to a remix of the William Blake classic, Jerusalem, to create a ringtone.
"And just as the Crazy Frog craze appealed to the young and urban, it is hoped the Baarmy Sheep will appeal to those with a love of the countryside.
The ringtone can be downloaded to phones with MP3 capability or real music players from Cumbria Tourist Board's website.

"The recordings were made by Charley Darbishire, 27, who runs a recording studio in Ulverston.
Mr Darbishire added: "Unlike some famous musicians, sheep are easy to work with and don't mind doing re-takes."
