I live outside of Atlanta and everyone's batty over Gnarls Barkley "Crazy." Personally, that freaking song drives me crazy. It's repetitive and reminiscent of a bad '70s one-hitter. Am I alone in this opinion?

I'm a big fan of Charles Barkley...when he was a Sixer.

(Sorry, couldn't resist)

i wonder if they did that on purpose (gnarls, charles). if so, what is the connection? seriously, i don't know what the message is in the song. I'm crazy, you're crazy, we're all crazy, are we? am i? GAH!!

It's the freaking beat that makes my skin crawl. The same thing over and over and over and over. It's not that they suck on a Cher/Shakira level. They definitely surpass those oxygen thiefs (that was harsh). But why do I have to hear it every day? Need XM.

The first time I heard it, it did nothing for me. But somehow, it's gotten stuck in my head. I can't explain it. It's infectious.

I looked it up and listened to it and it's not bad for what it is, (a contemporary dance song), but it can't begin to compare to the original "Crazy" written by Willie Nelson and first recorded by Patsy Cline. (now, THAT's a CLASSIC).
