"Axel F" is 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 German dance production team Bass Bumpers. "Axel F" was originally a 1984 hit for Harold Faltermeyer, and was the theme from the film of the same year, Beverly Hills Cop. Axel Foley, whom the song is named after, was the main character Eddie Murphy played in the movie. Jamster! arranged the remix, and later marketed it as a ringtone.
