“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”

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.)

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”
