"'''Axel F'''" is the [[electronic music|electronic]] [[instrumental]] theme from the 1984 film ''[[Beverly Hills Cop]]'' performed by [[Harold Faltermeyer]]. The title comes from the main character's name, [[Axel Foley]] (played by [[Eddie Murphy]]), in the film. It topped musical charts in 1985 and remains a popular [[remix]] track. Mixes of "Axel F" topped European pop charts in 2003 and again in 2005 as the [[Axel F#Crazy Frog version|Crazy Frog song]].
==Harold Faltermeyer version==
Faltermeyer recorded the song using three synthesizers: a [[Roland Jupiter-8]], a [[Roland JX-3P]], and a [[Yamaha DX-7]]. This version of the song reached #2 on the [[UK Singles Chart]] and #3 on the [[Billboard Hot 100]] in the US. It also spent two weeks atop the American [[Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks|adult contemporary chart]].

"'''Axel F'''", also known as the '''Crazy Frog song''', is a [[novelty song]] that was the debut and most internationally successful single by [[Crazy Frog]], released in [[2005]]. It is a [[remix]] of [[Harold Faltermeyer]]'s 1984 composition "Axel F", produced by Henning Reith and Reinhard "DJ Voodoo" Raith, two members of the [[Germany|German]] [[electronic music|dance]] production team [[Bass Bumpers]]. [[Jamba!|Jamster!]] arranged the remix, and later marketed it as a [[ringtone]].
The remix consists of vocals taken from the Crazy Frog recording by [[Daniel Malmedahl]] in 1997. It uses mainly the same part of the two-minute original that was used in Jamster's ringtone release. The song also uses the "What's going on ?" vocal shotguns from another 2003 remix of Axel F, by [[Murphy Brown (artist)|Murphy Brown]] and [[Captain Hollywood]] (dubbed "Axel F 2003" and sometimes "Axel F 2004").
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 video features the Crazy Frog character, is set in the future, and centers on his pursuit by a bounty hunter. The bounty hunter receives notification of a $50,000 reward for capturing the frog, who is only identified as "The most annoying thing in the world", a reference to Wernquist's original name for the character.
===Chart performances===
Released across Europe in [[May 2005]], "Axel F" went straight to number one in the [[United Kingdom|UK]], with some of the best weekly sales of the year so far (out-selling rivals such as [[Coldplay]] by four copies to one), and remained on top of the UK charts for four weeks. In other European countries the popularity has differed, with the remix failing to make the top twenty in [[Switzerland]] at first, before gradually climbing to #1, whilst only making #18 in [[Russia]]. It also reached #1 in the overall European chart, after initially being number two to [[Akon]]'s "Lonely" for several weeks, and stayed there until September. It also reached #1 in [[Australia]], [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]], [[Belgium]], [[Denmark]], [[France]], [[New Zealand]], [[Norway]], [[Ukraine]], [[Spain]], and [[Sweden]].
In [[France]], the song made an amazing jump, entering the French singles chart at number 77 on June 11, [[2005]], and moving all the way to number 2 in the next week. There it stayed for two weeks, and then topped the chart for 13 weeks. It left the first position being dethroned by its second single, "[[Popcorn (Crazy Frog song)|Popcorn]]" (it was only the second time that an artist dethrone himself in that country). The song remained in the top ten for 21 weeks, 30 weeks in the top 50 and 36 weeks in the chart. Its best weekly sales were 103,564 on its sixth week, which is huge in France<ref>Weekly sales in France [http://www.chartsinfrance.net/communaute/index.php?showtopic=10055 Chartsinfrance.net] (Retrieved December 16, 2007)</ref>. On December 1, 2005, it was certified [[Music recording sales certification|Diamond disc]] seven months after its release by [[SNEP]], the French certificator. According to the Infodisc Website, it is the 34th best selling single of all time in France<ref>Best selling
singles of all time in France [http://www.infodisc.fr/S_ToutTemps.php?debut=0 Infodisc.fr] (Retrieved December 16, 2007)</ref>, with 1,236,100 sales<ref>Best selling singles of all time in France [http://www.infodisc.fr/S_ToutTemps.php?debut=0 Infodisc.fr] (Retrieved December 16, 2007)</ref> (1,265,579 sales, according to another source<ref name="http://fanofmusic.free.fr/Site-Charts-Top100single2005France.htm">2005 French Sinles Chart [http://fanofmusic.free.fr/Site-Charts-Top100single2005France.htm Fanofmusic.free.fr] (Retrieved December 16, 2007)</ref>).
Despite the Crazy Frog not being hugely well-known in [[Japan]], the single release also charted there, peaking at #46. It has apparently failed to catch on in the U.S., peaking at #50. Although "Axel F" managed to find more success in Mainstream Markets, it proved to be a moderate success on U.S Rhythmic Top 40 where it peaked at #28 just scraping the top 30. It also peaked at #3 on the U.S Digital Sales beating the likes of Lindsay Lohan and the Black Eyed Peas. It's highest US success was just missing the top spot at #2 on the U.S Adult Contemporary Top 20.
===Music video===
The bounty hunter activates a killbot mounted on armoured hover cycle in the video, then it proceeds to track the Crazy Frog as he commutes around the City on his imaginary [[motorcycle]]. As the bounty hunter closes in on his prey, the Crazy Frog becomes aware of his pursuer and an unlikely chase begins over [[skyscraper]]s and through the city's sewer system, before the killbot launches a [[guided missile]] at the Frog.
However, the Crazy Frog is able to mount the missile as it approaches him, evidently confusing its [[guidance system]], as it then begins to loop and glide uncontrollably. The missile eventually locks onto the bounty hunter's van, destroying it and creating a large [[mushroom cloud]]. The Crazy Frog manages to escape (or survive, it is unknown which) the blast, covered in dust from the debris and appearing to deliver the closing '[[lyrics]]'.
===In the media===
In February and March 2006, the [[Canada|Canadian]] animation television channel [[Teletoon (Canada)|Teletoon]] aired the music video during times between programming, with the genitalia and the explosion edited out.
[[Cartoon Network]] aired the music video between programs (roughly 2:58 P.M EST) in February, March, and June 2006, with the [[genitalia]] and the explosion edited out.
===Controversy===
Some music video channels censored the Crazy Frog's genitalia in the music video. Some had also already done this on the ringtone advertisement.
