Songoftheday 5/19/19 - You know you drive me up the wall, the way you make good on all the nasty tricks you pull...
from the album Get A Grip (1993)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #17 (one week)
Weeks in the Top-40: 16
Today's song of the day comes from blues-rock legends Aerosmith, whose Get A Grip album had already spun off three big pop hits with "Livin' On The Edge", "Cryin'" and "Amazing". A song they contributed to the soundtrack to the Beavis & Butthead movie, "Deuces Are Wild", climbed to #1 on the Mainstream Rock chart, but was never available for purchase other than the album. The fourth and final physical single released from the album was "Crazy", written by bandmates Steven Tyler and Joe Perry along with song doctor Desmond Child. The music video again featured Alicia Silverstone of Clueless...
"Crazy" became the fourth top-40 pop hit from Get A Grip in July of 1994. The song also climbed to #7 on the Mainstream Rock chart in Billboard magazine. Internationally, the song peaked at #3 in Canada, and was a top-40 hit in the UK (#23), the Netherlands (#28), and Switzerland (#28). "Crazy" would go on to win the Grammy Award for Rock Group Vocal Performance.
