In a 2020 interview with Under the Radarmagazine, Green talked about the song-it’s origins and impact. Even Kacey Musgraves did a rendition of the tune (with Green) during a show in Nashville in 2019. “Crazy” has been covered by a number of artists, including the Violent Femmes, Nelly Furtado, Ray LaMontagne, and more. “I somehow got off on this tangent about how people won’t take an artist seriously unless they’re insane… So we started jokingly discussing ways in which we could make people think we were crazy… CeeLo took that conversation and made it into ‘Crazy’, which we recorded in one take,” said Danger Mouse. Lyrically, the song was born from a conversation. “Crazy” samples that track and the original songwriters for the tune are credited by Gnarles Barkley. The track, which won a Grammy in 2007, was inspired by Spaghetti Western film scores-specifically, the song “Last Men Standing” by Gian Piero Reverberi and Gian Franco Reverberi.

Elsewhere, in 2006 and the lead single was “Crazy.” The song peaked at No. Gnarles Barkley is the brainchild of singer CeeLo Green and producer Danger Mouse.
