There have been 11 different Top 100/Hot 100 hits titled Crazy:

Patsy Cline (9/1961)
Manhattans (72/1983)
Kenny Rogers (79/1985)
Icehouse (14/1987)
The Boys (29/1990)
Seal (7/1991)
Daisy Dee (73/1991)
Aerosmith (17/1994)
K-Ci & JoJo (11/2000)
Javier Colon (95/2003)
Gnarls Barkley (2/2006)

Another Crazy song, by British glam-rock band Mud, was a #12 hit in May 1973 in the UK but did not chart in the United States.

Javier Colon (95/2003)

That's an unfortunate name.

That being said, if it were my name, the album would of course be titled Oscopy.

 

[scotchandcigar]

That's an unfortunate name.

Colón is the currency in Costa Rica. It's pronounced cuh-LONE, like cologne. The guy's name is probably pronounced the same way. And besides, the word doesn't mean the same thing in Spanish.

 

[Channel98]

This 2016 Seattle Mariners commercial includes a cute reference to Mets pitcher Bartolo Colón:

Notes:

As you can see, Coolio and LV acknowledged the song is a rewording of Stevie Wonder's Pastime Paradise. Stevie appears partway through.

 

[sadchild]

Schmaltz I can't handle

I hated that damn album. The other annoying hit was "Hold My Hand"
