"The Closest Thing To Crazy" is the debut single of Georgia-born songstress Katie Melua. It is featured on her hugely successful album, Call Off the Search. The song appeared first in 1995 on Mike Batt's album Arabesque (album).

The single was originally due out in January 2004, but it was released a month early in an attempt by Terry Wogan to make it that year’s Christmas number one. In fact, the single reached only number ten in the UK charts.
