SchnappiChart Positions
Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil is a little crocodile from a German cartoon for children that "performed" a song which reached #1 on the German charts in January 2005. InceptionSchnappi was a character in a popular animated German children's TV show called Die Sendung mit der Maus (The Show With The Mouse). In the cartoon in which he appeared, Schnappi is seen singing a song about his life in Egypt. That song, which is sung in German, has a catchy tune and simple lyrics. The song, which first appeared in the Sendung mit der Maus show in 2001, was written by Iris Gruttmann and performed by her then four-year-old niece, Joy. SuccessIn 2004 Schnappi became popular on the Internet and was downloaded often. So in December 2004, the song Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil was released on CD. The single reached #1 on the German Pop-Charts by January 3, 2005. This phenomenon was widely taken as a counterexample to recent claims by representatives from major music labels that sharing music over the internet is harmful to the sales numbers of that music songs. The huge commercial success of Schnappi may not have been possible without P2P networks... Bringing this around full circle, a bootleg translation into English was recorded and released on the Internet on the 20th February, 2005 by the Bronx artist DJ Damien (in conjunction with b0n3m4n, and featuring vocals by French Girl). Somehow, despite being an unofficial cover, this version has made it onto the "official Schnappi website in English." Other translations by collaborations involving DJ Damien include a French version "Crocky le Petit Crocodile", and a forthcoming Japanese version "Togetogeshi, chisaii wani" (刺々しい、小さい鰐). The song reached number one in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden; it even reached the top 10 in Australia and New Zealand; a rare feat for non-English songs. The song was released in the UK on Monday 3rd October 2005, but it only reached the bottom end of the UK Singles Chart top 40. Alternative versions of the song - varying from simple remixes of the basic vocal track, to a full cover version by Belgian techno group Dynamite - were also at numbers seven and ten in Belgium, and at number two in the Netherlands. Swedish "humor metal" band Black Ingvars also recorded a cover version in heavy metal style with Rammstein-like vocals. The song was released on a compilation album in Sweden. With the popularity of the Crazy Frog ringtone, it was only a matter of time before Schnappi was also covered this way, and in August 2005 Jamba! released Schnappi in a number of downloadable formats.
