Snap Judgment: Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy'

Categories: Music

171522__gnarls_lI can’t stop listening to this song, which I’m pretty sure is a good sign. As their website states: Cee-Lo + Danger Mouse = Gnarls Barkley. Not a bad pedigree, ay? The Mouse’s layered dancefloor beats and Cee-Lo’s plaintive soul vocals are a maddeningly perfect (read: more addictive than black-tar heroin) marriage in my book. Like I said, I seriously can’t stop listening to it. And wait ’til you see the video. It’ll remind you of, um, college, and all those op-art concert posters you used to think were, like, so cool, man.

Apparently "Crazy" is all the rage in the U.K., having been released there earlier this year. Look for it to hit shelves stateside on May 9. In the meantime, try to maintain your own sanity as its warped grooves do a number on your cerebellum. I think I’m crazy!

    OMG, you werent kidding – I want to take it off repeat…but CANT! This is some spooky voo-doo going down right here :D

    Oh my lord thank you for leading me to this! It’s true, its addictive. I’m currently on my 5th consecutive play and I see no end in sight until I finish the paper I’m writing. If I would have known these two were teaming up before, well I’d be excited!

  • Nancy

    I’ve heard the song several times (it was in the background of a scene in Grey’s Anatomy a few weeks ago), but thanks for leading me to the video. Truly inspired and hypnotic.

  • Connie

    Even more addictive than Hall & Oates. Great music posts today.

  • Thad

    great great great! Something to fill the void until a new Outkast single

  • Bernard

    Wow, you folk are really late on this one. I’ve been grooving to this for about 4 and half months.

  • Martin

    I have been a Cee-Lo fan since he first came out with Goodie Mob. I have all of his records as a group and solo artist. He was supposed to be the 3rd member of Outkast. I hope people will now get to see how talented an artist he truly is. Along with Common & Andre 3000, Cee-Lo is one the most imaginative MC’s and artists in the game. “Beautiful Song”

    LOVE IT!!!!

    The song is going to be a classic. It doesn’t sound like it comes from a particular decade or genre and you know a lot of people wil enjoy it when it’s heard at a party 25 years down the road. That’s a classic.

    Wow Bernard, you sure out-cooled all of us!
