There’s a little bit of crazy in all of us. Of course, when you’re a musician, that little bit of crazy is there for all to see. Calling all mad-hatters and cuckoo clocks, here's the top 10 crazy-ass songs we love. .jpg)
1: 'One Way or Another' Blondie You can hear the crazy in Debbie Harry’s voice as she belts out “One way or another, I’m gonna find ya, I’m getcha getcha getcha,” you wouldn’t want to mess with this chick. Even though she may be prone to the odd nut-out, this Blondie hit has reached cult-like status for a reason – pure rockin’ gold. 2: 'I Don’t Wanna Know (If You Don’t Want Me)' The Donna’s More Crazy, stalker-like antics, the Donna’s hit single ‘I don’t want to know’ has all the pscho-girl-trimmings; talks of restraining orders, using a shirt to “guess all the things you do” and driving by “almost everyday”. Lucky for them, those traces of nuts are hidden under a nice little pop ‘n roll track.
3: 'Smile' Lilly Allen We think Lily’s entitled to a little crazy in this track – what cheating boy doesn’t deserve to be messed with? We think a little bit of manic post-dumb boy break-up in a”messed up my mental health” kind of way is perfectly acceptable. I would laugh if I saw him crying too. 4: 'Ladies of the World' Flight of the Concords Winning in the crazy-funny category, Flight of the Concords charmed us with this wacky track of pure hilarity. The kiwi boys are bringing silly back and we heart them for it! 5: 'Crazy' Gnarls Barkley Turning crazy into something dancable, singlable and with a smooth and simplistic hook, undoubtably catchy, Gnarls Barkley’s hit first single makes crazy cool. .jpg)
6: 'She Drives Like Crazy' Weird Al Yankovic Brilliant lyrics and a whole barrel of monkies worth of fun; Weird Al Yankovic’s less-than-conventional take on Britney’s ‘You Drive Me Crazy’ is a class act. A hilarious rendition of a less-than-inspiring track, ‘She Drives like Crazy’ is also likely to be respsonsible for some crazy laughs. 7: 'So What' Pink It’s funny how boys seem to be the common demoninator in the release of the inner crazy isn’t it? This finger-in-the-air song has Pink running around in the video chopping down trees and jumping on just-married couples' cars in what can only be described as a little bit of a breakdown. Crazy aside, it’s also responsible for some great car sing-a-longs and no doubt has seen many a girl though a nasty break-up. 8: 'Crazy in Love' Beyonce Time for some more of the good kind of crazy, Beyonce offers us this booty shakin', crazy-love makin' track. Both catchy and partytastic, this is one juicy pop song perfect for a boogie with the girls.
9: 'Mmmbop' Hanson So it’s a guilty pleasure, but in the spirit of the 90s (ahem childhood), boys that sound like girls and of course the crazy, Hanson are still making the charts all these years later. You know it still makes you laugh whenever it gets dragged up for a revival and who would have thought three kids could have such success with a song that doesn’t even have real words in its chorus. Or name.
10: 'Unwell' Matchbox 20 So he think’s he’s not crazy just a little unwell, however, we are not entirely in accordance (there was Rob Thomas’ disastourous attempt at a solo career after all). While this may be a bit of a crazy-themed track, it’s also a classic tune that showcases Matchbox20 in their prime.
