message: I removed the following paragraph from article because there seem to be some factual problems with it (see below):
:"The song samples a portion of the score from the spaghetti Western film "Last Man Standing" by the brothers Gianfranco and Gianpiero Reverberi. The specific track is "Nel Cimitero Di Tucson" and can be found on the Reverberis' album Preparati la Bara."
According to the album booklet, the sampled song is called "Last Man Standing", not "Nel Cimitero Di Tucson". "Nel Cimitero Di Tucson" is apparently from the film Preparati la Bara (the film has multiple English titles, but Last Man Standing doesn't seem to be one of them). Maybe "Last Man Standing" is another title of "Nel Cimitero Di Tucson"? 
For now, I changed the sentence to "The song samples a portion of the song "Last Man Standing" by the brothers Gianfranco and Gianpiero Reverberi.", which is the information given in the album booklet. "Last Man Standing" is also listed as a song on the BMI Repertoire --Fritz S. (Talk) 12:10, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, I made the edit before, I see I was wrong to say "Last Man Standing" is the name of the film as that is clearly incorrect. However, my guess is that "Nel Cimitero Di Tucson" and "Last Man Standing" are the same thing, if you listen  to the 30 second snippet on amazon to "Nel Cimitero Di Tucson," specifically the last 5 seconds or so, it's clear that it is it. I have no idea what the discrepancy in title is about, but one way or another I think we should explain where the original song can be found as I think that's important information. Does anyone know what the deal is/how this can be reworded appropriately? --DanyaRomulus 20:41, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hi everybody. The italian society for copyright etc, the SIAE Societa' Italiana Autori ed Editori www.siae.it, has a huge database. In this databare you can find both titles, "Nel Cimitero Di Tucson" and "Last Men Standing". The reasons can be : 1) Same tune, different titles for commercial purposes; 2), 2 different tunes. If you listen to he Youtube versions, it's very clear they are exactly the same. Anyway, I emailed Gian Franco Reverberi, whom I know personally, and asked explanations. Maybe his answer will not be considered as a primary source here, but I will let you know if you care. And I hope he can give me some source to quote here. Talk to you all soon. Ciao!

message: I'm not sure, but are there two videos to this? I vaguely remember seeing one that was similar in style to the one mentioned here but was more "cartoony" - the pictures more resembled those on the album cover. Maybe it's a British version?

::"The image to the right is the official video to the single. The original or rough draft of the video was redone and was massively improved with the help of an additional artist. That would explain why the current video bears no resemblance to its pictured description at the far top. The rough draft can still be found on video sites like Youtube and Google.

message: Hi. In the "Composition and ispiration" chapter, you write this song is inpired by the "spaghetti western" movies music, and this is true in general. But the sentence referring to the music of Ennio Morricone is wrong because, as you write elsewhere, Crazy is directly based on the tune "Last Men Standing" a.k.a. "Nel Cimitero Di Tucson" composed by the Reverberi brothers for a specific film (the 1968 Preparati La Bara"). How can a song be inspired by the music of a composer if it is based in fact (de facto) on a precise song composed by another? No sense. And, this song is not only "inspired to", but it contains the same chords. And, in fact, the Reverberi brothers are quoted everywhere as the co-authors of Crazy. 
I will change the sentence cutting away the refernce to Morricone if you all agree.
Ciao!
