Has "(You Drive Me) Crazy" been forgotten by the general public?

[Dcarp999]

I suspect that it has been forgotten. Most people I know who are not fans, do not recognize nor remember it.

It was LITERALLY the theme song of a global #1 Netflix movie a few months ago.

And even then most of my friends do not know it. And those who do, do not necessarily know it is Britney.

The movie doesn't mention her by name either. So even if someone goes "I know this song!" will they know the artist? Or the references?

It's one of my favorites of her older songs too, so I keep trying to revive it in my own circles but people are "meh" about it. I don't get it.

mostly forgotten

such a bop :(

Unfortunately, mostly forgotten by the GP. I think it's my favorite song from her first album, though, it's so good!

I prefer the choreography and music video of Baby, but Crazy is my favorite song on the album.

I remember as a kid seeing the music video for Crazy on the TV and being so captivated by Britney, it was the first song of hers I actually truly loved. I liked Baby and I thought Sometimes was cute, but Crazy made me a fan.

I wonder why it was forgotten. Overshadowed by BOMT? 

My theory is that the album version got overshadowed by BOMT, and the Stop remix came out a bit too late and was too close to the release of Oops. It just did not come at the right time.

I don’t think the Stop remix was released too close to Oops.  If anything, I think we were all dreading FTBOMBH and were ready for what was next.

[PickleSpears]

no

[Britney4President]

No I sing the chorus everytime I meet someone that makes me crazy 

[Peter Pan]

yeah I feel like it’s losing its status a bit. It used to be super recognizable. 

It doesn’t help that the stop remix doesn’t play right after BOMT on streaming services. The GP doesn’t really recognize the original.

I mean just like any smash hit it tends to be forgotten after 20 years. My local stations still play it sometimes here in boston though. I think most can remember it tho. Not to the degree of baby oops toxic womanizer and circus but I think it’s in the field of lucky sometimes stronger and the britney era singles where if u are familiar w early 00s music u def remember it and love it

[Stefani]

Sis how would we know? Do you expect us to ask all 7 billion+ people on Earth if they know the song or...?

[DanjaMouse]

Everything about this song was perfect. The remix, the video, that damn green glitter top. Perfection.  
 

[PokemonSpears]

if they don't know it or "forgot it" it must be because they didn't know it in the first place / weren't born at the time / were too young, etc.

 

Crazy was definitely the hit that put her out there as someone that wasn't just a one hit wonder. Sometimes did good, but she could've still faded away after that, only to be remembered as the one hit wonder singing BOMT. Crazy was like the song that showed she was here to stay.

I don't know in the US, but at least internationally, BOMT, Crazy, Oops, Lucky, Stronger were like her signature songs back then.

 

I mean, it even has a Funko figure.

 

Just yesterday it was her 8th most watched video

Same 

[JP9101]

I think is a song that everybody remember when they listen in the radio or a party 

[princessmimi]

Yes unfortunately it is kinda forgotten or at least not as known as her other hits at the time.

Only people who were around at the time or fans would know the song.

I dont think anyone else really knows it but then again,

it might have gotten a new fan following after being featured in the Senior Year movie on Netflix.

[Emil87]

I dunno about the GP (nor do I care) but the song will never be forgotten by me. When I first heard the Stop remix and saw her slayage in the MV, I instantly applied for my stan card. She was perfect.

 

[ElToxico]

The song has aged badly which is one of the top reasons why it didn't stand
