The 1st video from 5 time Grammy-nominated album St. Elsewhere by Gnarls Barkley. “You are the best. You are the worst … The 1st video from 5 time Grammy-nominated album St. Elsewhere by Gnarls Barkley.
“You are the best. You are the worst. You are average. Your love is a part of you. You try to give it away because you cannot bear its radiance, but you cannot separate it from yourself. To understand your fellow humans, you must understand why you give them your love. You must realize that hate is but a crime-ridden subdivision of love. You must reclaim what you never lost. You must take leave of your sanity, and yet be fully responsible for your actions.” -Gnarls Barkley, in a letter to the legendary rock critic Lester Bangs

! It can only get better from this point forward. … theremin gnarls barkley crazy cover moog etherwave pro minimoog … This video is an experiment to see how rapidly the theremin can be injected into the world’s collective consciousness. It’s amazing that not everyone knows what a theremin is. It was one of the first electronic musical instruments ever made and it was invented in 1919. Are Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse from Gnarls Barkley really theremin players? There’s only one way to find out!
some notes:
The main theremin was passed through iZotope Trash, an awesome software guitar effects plugin. The video was edited entirely in Adobe After Effects. The hand on the carpet was to simulate wind noise, definitely cause for confusion. This also means all the parts of the song were performed with hands only. CRAZY!
Randy – Moog Etherwave Pro Theremin, Moog Etherwave Theremin, Minimoog Voyager, carpet
KD – Akai MPC drum machine
OG – background vocals on keyboard
Elliot – Fender Bass VI
This video performance is dedicated to the pioneers, Leon Theremin and Bob Moog, who devoted their lives to music in the electronic medium. Without them the music world would not be what it is today.

These charts were synthesized on Microsoft Excel this morning of the “single” version, downloaded from iTunes, of Gnarls Barkley’s #1—for days on iTunes at least—of the song called Crazy.
I found the fantastic information at the blog of a college student working his way through school– a man from a college in Illinois. Taylor Johnston, writes a set of entries in wikipedia, at http://www.musicblogwiki.elwiki.com/index.php/Music_For_Kids_Who_Can’t_Read_Good and at http://www.musicformats.blogspot.com, and other places.
From TJ’s blog:
“…The Evolution of “Crazy”
Origin: You all have heard Gnarles Barkley’s “Crazy” (it’s pretty much impossible to get away from at this point), but have you heard “Nel Cimitero Di Tucson”, which is essentially a raw instrumental form of Crazy. Unless you check alot of random world-music blogs (like me) you probably haven’t. It seems that Gnarles Barkley heavily sampled the song, which comes from the soundtrack of the film, Preparati la bara! (IMDB link here). It’s very interesting to listen to the original version and be able to hear the progression to it’s current chart-topping form, most noticeably the trumpets from the original were replaced with strings for Gnarles Barkley’s version, but the bass line stays the same nearly the whole song though….”
Thank you TJ, I hope. I prefer doing the number to the words, and if you allow this post to stay: good job. If not…oh well.
Thank you also to “The Sexiest Man On 83rd Street,” 1999, 2000—the Yankees fan with perfect hair and a musical family: “JVC.” JVC told me over a month before Barkley broke through: Look out for that song. And JVC is one to believe—when there was a voting dispute in 2000, he said, “first, Pat counted all seven votes and he’s objective, and second, neither I or my wife ever vote for me. And, man, even if we had, you had plenty of other voters.”
So: Always good to take suggestions on songs—they are viewed the most—My Hometown by Charlie Robison, for example, an artist of whom I had no idea, suggested by the Texas Schneiders—so not many of you email me—you look but don’t email, which is fine. Suggestions get priority. JVC, a man who is a serious dancer–ballroom and “styles unknown”—an absolute fan of the Yankees and Dancing With The Stars. JVC’s “Russell Crowe meets John Travolta” moves on the floor are a factor in his 83rd Street sexual awards, no doubt.
Real Conversation
Me: “JVC, what do you like about Crazy?”
JVC: “ Definitely the groove, the beat, it’s just is a [driving energetic song].”
Me: “that song came out in the middle of my theoretical speed of Lust.”
JVC: “Does not surprise me at all—[I love that song].”
