Synopsis!
"Crazy" is a song performed by American hard rock band Aerosmith and written by Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Desmond Child. It was the final single from Aerosmith's wildly popular 1993 album Get a Grip. It was released as a single in 1994 and peaked at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #7 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

The song's lyrics are about a woman who comes and goes and is unfaithful, and the woman's "crazy ways" drive the narrator "crazy."

The video for the song (which was directed by Marty Callner) received heavy rotation on MTV and was one of the most requested videos of 1994. It featured the third appearance of Alicia Silverstone in the band's videos, as well as the career debut of Steven's then-teenaged daughter Liv Tyler. The decision to cast Liv in the video for "Crazy" was based on the video's creators having seen her in a Pantene commercial, with absolutely no knowledge her father was in the band.

The video was very film-like and depicted the two as schoolgirls who skip class and run away, driving off in a black Ford Mustang convertible. The two use their good looks to take advantage of a service station clerk, and needing money, enter an amateur dance competition. The video is noteworthy for its very risque and suggestive sexual scenes, many of which may suggest lesbianism in the characters. The video also shows the similarities in stage moves of Steven Tyler and daughter Liv. In the end, the girls win the amateur dance competition. They continue their joyride the following day, where they encounter a young farmer tilling land in the countryside. They persuade him to join them in their journeys, where they all go for a skinny dip in a lake, and nearly abandon him. The final seconds of the video show the word "Crazy" spelled out in cursive in the cropland by the still-running tractor.

A slightly altered director's cut of the video appears on the video compilation Big Ones You Can Look At.

The song was the second highest chart performance for the band out of all the singles for Get a Grip. The song also earned the band a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal in 1994. This was the band's second Grammy win for Get a Grip and third Grammy award overall.
The video for "Crazy" was selected #23 in VH1's Top 100 Music Videos of All Time.



.....Lyrics.....

Come 'ere baby

(You know you drive me up the wall
The way you make good for all the nasty tricks you pull
Seems like we're makin' up more than we're makin' love
And it always seems you've got someone on your mind
Other than me
Girl, you gotta change your crazy ways - you hear me)

Say you're leavin' on the seven thirty train
And that you're heading out to Hollywood
Girl, you've been givin' me that line so many times
It kinda gets that feelin' bad looks good, yeah

That kinda lovin' turns a man to a slave
That kinda lovin' sends a man right to his grave

I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy
You turn it on - then you're gone
Yeah you drive me crazy, crazy
Crazy, for you baby
What can I do, honey
I feel like the color blue

You're packin' up your stuff
and talkin' like it's tough
and tryin' to tell me
That it's time to go, yeah!
But I know you ain't wearin' nothin' underneath that
overcoat and that it's all a show, yeah!

That kinda lovin' makes me wanna pull down the shade,
yeah
That kinda lovin' yeah, now I'm never never never never gonna be the same

I go crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy
You turn it on - then you're gone
Yeah you drive me crazy, crazy
Crazy, for you baby
What can I do, honey
I feel like the color blue

I'm losing my mind
Girl, 'cause I'm goin' crazy

(Guitar solo)

I need your love, honey, yeah
I need your love...

Crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby
I'm losin' my mind,
Girl cause I'm going crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy for you baby
You turn it on - then you're gone
Yeah you drive me.....End
