Sweety the Chick
Encyclopedia : S : SW : SWE : Sweety the Chick
As with many of the Jamba!/Jamster! characters such as the Crazy Frog, the computer-generated chick has been greeted with both love and hatred — perhaps due in part to the frequency of advertising for the ringtone.
Jamba!, together with a number of other ringtone providers, is a major source of advertising revenue for the German music channel VIVA. At its late-2004 peak, the Sweety the Chick song was sometimes played six times in a row during a commercial break. Sweety the Chick was released before the Crazy Frog in Germany.
Origin
Sweety is a licensed version of a strikingly similar chick created by Pierre Coffin in the U.K. for a series of animated commercials for Vizzavi (now Vodafone Live!) during the Pop Idol television show ([To see the similarity click here]). Sweety first appeared in a Rhino and Rat ringtone advert, in which he was one of a line of baby chicks who started bouncing due to the vibrations coming from a nightclub.Lyrics
"I may be small, I may look sweet.. but baby, I know how to move my feet! ... HIT IT!"(Tempo change: Upbeat)
"Cause when I start to feel the beat, I just got to move my feet and it makes me wanna tweet — tweet tweet tweet tweet tweeet tweet."
Fluffy
Sweety was paired up with another chick named Fluffy for two further ringtones, a rendition of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and a new song called "Little Birds Rock". They are both also in a song called "Sweety's Party".Sweety mobile phone game
