1987 Big Trouble – Crazy World (US:#71)
“Crazy World” is a song by the American female pop group Big Trouble. It was released as the leading single from the band’s debut and only album Big Trouble.
The song was released in 1987 within America and the UK, where it peaked at #71 in America for one week but failed to chart in the UK. During 1988, and as the band’s last release, the song was issued once again in the UK as a Maxi CD Single. The release attempted to follow the minor success of the 1988 single “When the Love Is Good”. The CD Single managed to peak at #96 for one week. As a result of the small success for the release, the group dissolved soon after.
“Crazy World” was produced by Grammy and Oscar winner Giorgio Moroder, and was written by Moroder and songwriting partner Tom Whitlock, who together wrote such songs as Berlin’s 1985 smash hit “Take My Breath Away”. The duo also wrote the Big Trouble album track/single “When the Love Is Good” and the 1987 promotional single “All I Need Is You”, featured in the film Over the Top, starring Sylvester Stallone.
The song was recorded with the rest of the band’s album at Oasis Recording Studios, North Hollywood, California. It was mastered at Bernie Grundman Mastering, Hollywood, California.
As of 2004 and noted in the official Billboard Magazine, the single itself was the last single written by Moroder to appear on the American Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart
