"Futile Failure by Frogs"

I don't understand the title. Is/are the Frogs a group?

Well, part of it I think I get; "frogs" is an established derogatory expression for French people; a french composer is involved.
I think the rest of the title has more to do with a desperate effort at alliteration than with logic.

Merci, your royal highness. Trust an anonymous guest to throw an incomprehensible, if not ethnocentric, musical curve ball and then exit, stage left. Huff, indeed.

Widely read author, and prominent barrister, John Mortimer ("Rumpole of the Bailey" volumes) defended the Sex Pistols on obscenity charges with regard to their album, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols." QC Mortimer produced witnesses who were able to show that 'bollocks' was an English term which at one time meant 'priest,' and thet in the album title the word meant nonsense, although it also was a slang term for testicles or balls.

Although without musical talent, the group was notorious for a couple of years.
