If any of you music lovers haven't yet heard this nearly ubiquitous song, I encourage you to check it out. Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" is one of the best dang pop songs I've heard in ages. It manages to be soulful, danceable, and pretty all at once in a way I haven't heard on mainstream radio for some time. This is the song of the year.

Re: Gnarls Barkley: "Crazy"
This song, while it is catchy and I dug it when it came out a few months ago, drives me absolutely batsheeeee-it insane only because I'm tired of hearing over and over and over again...
This new collaboration known as Gnarls Barkley is pure genius. I was used to Cee-Lo with the Goodie Mob and loved Danger Mouse's remixes. DM mixed Jay-Z's The Black Album with The Beatles' The White Album to form The Grey Album. A lot of the Beatles' purists cried foul, but I absolutely loved it.Tessie, "Nuf Ced" McGreevey shouted
We're not here to mess around
Boston, you know we love you madly
Hear the crowd roar to your sound
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Tessie, you are the only only only

Re: Gnarls Barkley: "Crazy"
Don't forget Danger Mouse's excellent project with MF Doom, DangerDoom. Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse have done great work all over the place, but THIS song is a pop masterpiece. Pop music is usually crap. This is beautiful.But I'm disturbed! I'm depressed! I'm inadequate! I GOT IT ALL! (George Costanza)

Re: Gnarls Barkley: "Crazy"
This has been bouncing around for a few months now.
It has been a staple in the mashup world. For something different, click the below link to see what happens when you mash Supertramp and The Who to this catchy beat.

Re: Gnarls Barkley: "Crazy"
I'm not a rap or a remix/sample kind of music fan. However after hearing "Crazy" a few months ago, and seeing the CD selling for only $9.99 back then, I bought it. The song is very good and I play it all the time. It's in my 2 iPods on high rotation. I also like the remake of the Violent Femmes' "Gone Daddy Gone." Today the CD is selling for the normal $14.99.... I guess it is a hit.I'm still here. Are you?

Re: Gnarls Barkley: "Crazy"
It is good and it is creative, but I predict it will soon follow Outkast's "Hey Ya!" onto the pile of "wow that song was amazingly cool and different when it first came out but I am sick of hearing it for the four-thousandth time now" tunes. I think we're looking at another contribution to a future "one-hit wonder" compilation, as well as a spate of imitators.
Not denigrating the song itself, but I'm already very tired of it.

Re: Gnarls Barkley: "Crazy"
I'm with you, Leo. Except, of course, that as Nachodaddy notes, this song was the big, cool thing a few months ago, and would seem to be long past its day in the sun... but will nonetheless be rediscovered periodically, and will (like "Hey Ya!" -- which even I admit to seeking out!) surface reliably going forward, if even in a campy way.
But wait! It might turn out to be somewhat more than a flash in the pan... for better or worse.
Gnarls Barkley, Driving You 'Crazy'
This is "Crazy": Gnarls Barkley's soulful single, summer's inescapable anthem to incipient madness, has been covered by Nelly Furtado. And Billy Idol. And the Roots. And the Raconteurs, who might well do it Saturday at the all-day Virgin Festival at Pimlico Race Course, where Gnarls Barkley will certainly perform it. "Crazy" has also been covered by folk-soulman Ray LaMontagne, power-popster Butch Walker, indie-pop duo Mates of State, Greg Dulli's side project the Twilight Singers and Bryan Adams (Bryan Adams?). The list goes on, and it keeps growing. Even Paris Hilton has threatened a version, proving the perils of ubiquity.
Actually, though, the above is a pretty good article, explaining for example the irony in a Danger Mouse project suddenly topping every chart in every country on the planet. And while I'm very tired of 'Crazy,' I gotta be glad for him. The Grey Album was genius.

I haven't seen anything like "Hey Ya!" since it came out. Haven't seen anything else like "Crazy" since it came out, either.
