Crazy (Aerosmith song)

The song is set in A major and follows the time signature. It was written earlier, around the same time as "Angel," but the band felt it had to "spread out their ballads to retain their rock image." ==Critical reception==

Terry Staunton from Melody Maker said Aerosmith "go mando mondo on this syrupy Black Crowes pastiche". He added, "A last dance lecherous ballad with Steve Tyler giving us his best bad-ass drawl." Emma Cochrane from Smash Hits gave it two out of five, writing, "The fact that the video is ace is probably enough to make it a big hit, but the song itself is less inspiring. It has a nagging chorus and droning guitars. Still, the girl is classy." ==Music video==

The music video for the song was directed by American director Marty Callner and received heavy rotation on MTV, being one of the channel's most requested videos of 1994. It featured the third appearance of Alicia Silverstone in the band's videos, and was the career debut of Steven's then 16-year-old 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. "I understand why people might have a problem with ''[the video's content]''," she remarked. "But I have no problem with it, and Steven has no problem with it. And if other people have a problem with it, it's their problem." The film-like video depicts Silverstone and Tyler as schoolgirls who skip class and run away, driving off in a 1993 black Ford Mustang GT convertible in a manner similar to the 1991 film Thelma & Louise. ==Accolades==

The song 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 overall. The video for "Crazy" was ranked number 23 on VH1's "Top 100 Music Videos of All Time". ==Track listing==

The song appeared on several compilations including Big Ones, A Little South of Sanity, O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits and ''Devil's Got a New Disguise. Despite bringing much success for the band in the mid-1990s, Aerosmith rarely performed it on tour until it was added to international shows on their 2007 World Tour due to overwhelming demand from fans. It was covered in Glee'' by Jacob Artist and Melissa Benoist, mashed up with Britney Spears' "(You Drive Me) Crazy". ==References==
