[edit] Music video
The video "Crazy Cool" was directed by Matthew Rolston. Originally the video was deemed "too hot for TV" when MTV said they wouldn't play the video if it wasn't edited into a more cleaner version. In the video Abdul holds a black cane on and against herself, she also pours a drink on her breasts. Rolston and Abdul claimed that it was simply part of the dance and the choreography but MTV still said they wouldn't play it unless it was edited.
Rolston and Abdul ended up editing the video so it was able to get played on MTV and other video channels.
The "Single Remix Version" was the remix being played as the video version.
[edit] Chart performance
The single ended up not fairing too well on the charts where it faltered. It made an appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 where it failed to make the top 40. It proved to be a success in the clubs and became a hit on the dance charts.
