“Wild” & “Crazy” Songs, Vol. 1

I've posted "Wild" Songs before. And "Crazy" ones, too. But never "Wild" & "Crazy" Songs together. And none of these songs appeared in either of those posts. So here they are...oh, and there were lots. So this'll be a three-parter. Enjoy!  ~  JH



1)  Alessia Cara  ~  “Wild Things”




2)  K-Ci & JoJo  ~  “Crazy”




3)  Gloriana  ~  “Wild At Heart”




4)  Robin Thicke  ~  “Still Madly Crazy”




5)  Birdy  ~  “Wild Horses”




6)  Milow  ~  “We Must Be Crazy”




7)  for King & Country ft. Andy Mineo  ~  “Run Wild”




8)  Nicole Atkins  ~  “A Little Crazy”




9)  Lissie  ~  “Wild Wild West”




10)  Paul Simon  ~  “Still Crazy After All These Years”




11)  Kat Cunning  ~  “Wild Poppies”




12)  Mark Morrison  ~  “Crazy”




13)  Troye Sivan  ~  “Wild”




14)  Charlotte Church  ~  “Crazy Chick”




15)  Beach House  ~  “Wild”




16)  The Vaselines  ~  “Crazy Lady”




17)  Hinder  ~  “Born To Be Wild”  (Some classics don’t need to be remade, and this song was certainly one of them. But I have to admit that this band did a really good job of staying faithful to the original while also putting their own distinctive mark on it.)




18)  Heart  ~  “Crazy On You”




19)  Faul & Wad  ~  “Wild Love”




20)  LeAnn Rimes  ~  “Crazy”  (Only one other person can sing Patsy Cline like Patsy Cline and that’s LeAnn Rimes. Case in point, this flawless cover.)




21)  MVNDA  ~  “Wild And Free”




22)  Sam Smith  ~  “Baby, You Make Me Crazy”




23)  Black Rebel Motorcycle Club  ~  “Little Thing Gone Wild”




24)  Ólöf Arnalds  ~  “Crazy Car”




25)  Anika Nilles  ~  “Wild Boy”




26)  Newsboys  ~  “Crazy”




27)  John Denver ft. Pat Hawk  ~  “Wild Montana Skies”




28)  Aerosmith  ~  “Crazy”




29)  Ladyhawke  ~  “Wild Things”




30)  The Osmonds  ~  “Crazy Horses”  (I’m kind of at a loss as to what to think of this song. Is it a precursor to heavy metal and therefore highly innovative? Or is it a pitiful, even comical attempt to be “cool” after establishing a reputation of only producing disposable bubblegum pop? Either way, here it is…)




31)  Kacey Musgraves  ~  “Love Is A Wild Thing”




32)  Francesca Battistelli  ~  “When The Crazy Kicks In”




33)  Escape Club  ~  “Wild, Wild West”
