6. Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) and George Costanza (Jason Alexander) consider the video game Frogger.
7. The theme to the video game Frogger.
8. The one and only Michigan J. Frog in the Warner Brothers cartoon Some Froggy Evening.

Apologies to: The Wind in the Willows, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Mark Twain, TCU and Trevor the Frog. Maybe next time.
