Daniel Malmedahl (also known as Britt-Erik in Sweden) is the creator of 2TAKTARE.MP3, the sound effect which inspired the creation of The Annoying Thing.
Early Days
Daniel was born in 1980 in Gothenburg, Sweden. In 1997 he recorded himself imitating his friends' souped-up mopeds[1], sound effect. At peak of Crazy Frog in 2005, 24 years old he was computer components salesman.
Britt-Erik
According to Swedish users, Daniel was known in Sweden as Britt-Erik[2][3], person who made his popularity by creating musical jokes that were transmitted on CDs. The only evidence for this is that original file name of 2taktare is "Britt-Erik - 2taktare" (or "Britt-Erik" is in audio tags), and that scream in "Gullefjun" is very similar to the voice from Jamba! ringtones, but there is no official confirmation that they are the same person. He is most famous for parody of Bamse and 2taktare.
List of musical jokes:
- Britt-Erik - Bamsesagan (Bamse saga, Bamsesaga)
- Britt-Erik - 2taktare (tvåtaktare, tvåtaktarn, tvåtakt.mp3)
- Britt-Erik - Äta farfars bajs
- Britt-Erik - Gullefjun
- Britt-Erik - Imse vimse spindel
- Britt-Erik - Ekorrn satt i granen
- Britt-Erik - Elefanten på tråden
Interview on Swedish TV
An acquaintance of Daniel's had posted the recording on the web, where a researcher on Swedish TV found it and persuaded Daniel to perform the sound live on television. On may 27, 2001 he appears under his real name on youth program “Best of Wimans By Night”.
Connection with Crazy Frog
Jamster contacted Wernquist and Daniel for permission to sell it as a download for phones.
"I'm very, very, very stunned that it's gone so far, almost too far. It's such a little creation, it's less than a minute and I would guess that most people actually would have no idea that it's an imitation of a two stroke engine."
