The 20-year-old became an online celebrity when he released a heartfelt video on YouTube pleading for the world to "leave Britney alone".
Crocker has released a dance track titled 'Leave Britney Alone' under the name Double J. The track appeared on iTunes yesterday and it has had more than a million plays on YouTube.
The single features quotes from Crocker's famous web video with the fan yelling "You b******s, leave Britney alone!" as the chorus starts.
The original video, released last year after Spears's performance at the MTV Awards, has been seen by more than 15 million people worldwide.
Time magazine voted it the number one online video of 2007.

Some of us who remember the old process of music editing via snippets of tape and fantastically expensive editing hardware have basically died and gone to heaven with the advent of computers and software editing. Such programs as Cubase and Sonar have made the process of cobbling together a song just a few effortless drag and drops, with ultimate sound fidelity, perfect accuracy and zero loss of quality. Is there a downside to this? Oh there probably is none, since no one would dream of cashing in on such a technological blessing.
