In 2005, "Popcorn" was covered by Crazy Frog, and this remixed version was released on August 22, 2005. Jamba! once again arranged the remix, and also marketed it as a ringtone. The song differs from the debut release "Axel F", as it does not contain the trademark "Crazy Frog sound" by Daniel Malmedahl. However, the music video is once again animated computer-generated imagery, produced by Kaktus Film and Erik Wernquist of TurboForce3D.
The single was a hit in various countries, but not as much as Crazy Frog's previous song, "Axel F". It peaked at number one in Belgium, France and New Zealand. In France, the single had its greatest success: it went straight to #1 on September 24, 2005, whereby Crazy Frog replaced its own song "Axel F", and stayed at this position for seven weeks. Its best weekly sales were 71,777 in its second week. The single remained for 11 weeks in the top 10, 21 weeks in the top 50 and 27 weeks in the chart. Certified Diamond three months after its release by the SNEP, this "Popcorn" version is the 622nd best-selling single of all time in France, with 480,100 sales.

—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

With a rowley, powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigh ho! says Anthony Rowley.”
