SONG: VIDEO: IMPACT:
Almost everyone knows Madonna's biggest hits from the early '80s -- stuff like "Material Girl" and "Like A Virgin" -- but "Crazy For You" is the song that has stood the test of time. Even today, numerous radio stations play the song regularly, and you'll find far fewer people mocking this sweet love ballad. It is also one of only two songs to be featured on both of Madonna's major collections -- "Something to Remember" and "The Immaculate Collection."

"Crazy For You" also stands as Madonna's second #1 single -- she would rack up five more in the next four years. In the UK, "Crazy For You" is one of several singles that were later re-released. In both runs it peaked at #2, although the 1991 re-release saw it hold on to the runner-up spot for two weeks. The video shows Madonna singing in a nightclub, along with other clips from the film "Vision Quest."


TRIVIA: In the United States, "Crazy For You" was released just three weeks after "Material Girl." Also, "Crazy For You" became so popular that in several countries "Vision Quest" was renamed "Crazy For You" to capitalize on name recognition.
