"Jingle Bells" and "U Can't Touch This" are two cover songs by Swedish CGI character Crazy Frog. The two songs are the traditional Christmas song "Jingle Bells" and MC Hammer's 1990 single "U Can't Touch This". In Australia, New Zealand, and several mainland European countries, a cover of Wham!'s "Last Christmas" was added as an A-side instead and issued as "Jingle Bells" / "Last Christmas".

"Jingle Bells" / "Last Christmas" was the more successful of the two versions, as it was released in late November in the year 2005 to coincide with the Christmas holiday period. It peaked atop the charts of New Zealand and Spain and was also a top-five hit in Australia, Belgium, and France. In France, its 2005 sales were estimated to 84,367.2005 French Singles Chart [http://fanofmusic.free.fr/Site-Charts-Top100single2005France.htm Fanofmusic.free.fr] (Retrieved 16 December 2007) "Jingle Bells" / "U Can't Touch This" was released in the British Isles instead, peaking at number five on the UK Singles Chart and number 11 in Ireland.

The video shows a shortened version of the events of Popcorn, another video by the Crazy Frog. The video starts with the Crazy Frog fishing on a boat. He catches something (that turns out to be a giant robot) and tries so hard to reel it in that he is pulled off the boat into the water. He then puts on a pair of goggles and starts running away from a group of robots. The Crazy frog starts DJing and the robots who were once chasing him all dance in unision. The giant robot then tries to stomp on him and kill him, so he comes back to the surface which is where the video ends.

="Jingle Bells"=

The video starts with the Crazy Frog playing in the snow with the bounty hunter robot from previous clips (in some clips, Crazy Frog's genitals are censored). It then shows flashbacks from clips of "Axel F," the Hall of Mirrors video, and the Crazy DJ clip, then more of the "Axel F" clip. The flashbacks end, and the bounty hunter robot begins to throw a snowball at the frog. But instead he kisses the bounty hunter robot, and his lips get stuck to him, until the robot pulls him off. They then make snow angels and a message reads "Have a ding dong Christmas, everyone!"
