Great song.
Too bad it has been beaten to death via repetition on commercial radio.

As I've posted before: If you get tired of the original versions of this and other Seal songs, there are some really good remixes floating around out there...

Whenever I hear this I think of cutting beautiful lines in the back bowls of Whistler.
A bunch of his music was used in a snowboarding video back in 95 or so and it ran so beautifully with the images it sort of became a Whistler anthem.
At least among the old-schoolers.
Crazy plays in the background of Greg Stump's ski/snowboard movie "Groove...Requiem in the Key of Ski" during a segment filmed at Whistler/Blackcomb. I'll always associate this song with the freedom of skiing and snowboarding. |

Brings back memories from highschool. Excellent song, but pretty much the only song of his I really like.

I agree that too much Seal could result in insanity, but this is a great song on a great album. You must take everything in moderation, my mother always said!

I agree...to date, his first album is still my favorite, and he's never come close to "Crazy" since...
Lyrics are hopeful, soulful, a 10 on my list.

FWIW, the album linked above is wrong. This is on Seal <1991>.
Good tune, the whole album is pretty upbeat and poppy, but fun to listen to, and pretty smart.

I think Seal has one of the most outstanding voices in the world. His accustic album is a cracker!

Just saw him here in the Old Pueblo a few weeks ago...put on a good show. Not incredible, but solid. "Crazy" was one of the few standouts.
Still an excellent tune.

Wow, to hear Seal on RP!

Well said! |

I do have an open mind, but I really can't grasp or even explain how he and my other colleague, who does not use headphones with RP like me as an antidote, haven't gone completely bananas.  
Well hey, I can relate to that. "Crazy" by Seal may be a good song, but I'm not going to spend the next hour listening to Seal. I mean, it's one thing to be objective. But seriously. |

I wouldn't reccomend that. I used to work in a restraunt where the cable music feed was so repetetive you could set your watch by what song was playing. "Kissed By A Rose" came on every day a 11, like clockwork. I nearly took a butcher knife to the speaker a couple times.
Too much Seal = rapid descent into insanity.

the reason why it made 'top 40' was because it is a good song...not as good as Killer...granted...

This is good...but check out remixes of this song and other Seal songs - they really lend themselves to some creative work by DJ's and producers...
And, b/c I tend to agree with him, I try to get a little crazy every once in a while to shake things up and get the blood flowing.

This man is a hero in Whistler BC.
Whenever I hear this I think of cutting beautiful lines in the back bowls of Whistler.
A bunch of his music was used in a snowboarding video back in 95 or so and it ran so beautifully with the images it sort of became a Whistler anthem.
At least among the old-schoolers.
