Crazy Like Me is a song that everyone can relate to. While I rarely, if ever, write in the first person, I thought I would take the opportunity to introduce myself. I am Dean’s content contributor; however, I have also been his partner for 17 years, 18 in August.
We are Crazy Like Me
I’m revealing myself as Deans most recent podcast, Crazy Like Me, holds a special place in my heart through both tumultuous and over the moon moments. I know every word and every inflection in this song.
I have always told Dean that he wrote this song for me before he even met me. Then again, I do think that our paths may have crossed at the Starwood. That was back in the early 80’s before I moved to Australia.

As Dean explains, “Everyone feels a bit crazy. Everyone feels a little nuts sometimes.”
During this podcast Dean delves into the mechanics of this popular rock ballad. Crazy Like Me, which has been recorded and performed by the composer himself, as well as other artists.
Dean also performs the song live and plays the recorded version in the Dean Von Music Podcast studio breaking down the elements of Crazy Like Me.
Never to See the Light of Day
Written in the mid-80’s Crazy Like Me is one of Dean’s most requested tunes whether he is performing live or hanging out with friends, which is funny because Dean never thought anyone would want to record this song, much less his bass player.
Needless to say Mark Canaday loved it even though Dean didn’t think the rest of the band Danger would want to perform the song live, much less record it. How wrong he was.
Throughout this episode of the Dean Von Music Podcast Show, Dean talks about the various layers of production and how working with great musicians will make or break the tune.
