"Crazy" is the first single from Gnarls Barkley, a musical collaboration between Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo, and is taken from their 2006 debut album St. Elsewhere. The song became a top ten hit throughout Europe, North America and Oceania, reaching number one of the single charts in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Demark, Canada, New Zealand and other countries.
Musically, "Crazy" was inspired by film scores of spaghetti Westerns.
Going along with the psychedelic theme of the song, Gnarls Barkley's music video for "Crazy" is done in the style of the Rorschach inkblot test. Animated, mirrored inkblots morph into another, while taking on ambigious shapes. Both Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse appear in the shapes, as do the band's gunshot/heart logo and various animals, including centipedes, bats, spiders, and insects.
The video is nominated for three 2006 MTV Video Music Awards: Best Group Video, Best Direction, and Best Editing.
