"Busy Child" is a breakbeat single by The Crystal Method from the album Vegas. It is one of the group's most recognizable works, reaching #17 on Hot Dance Club Play charts, and remaining on even ten years later.[2] The song is featured in FIFA: Road to World Cup 98 and on many film soundtracks and electronic compilations.

Sample

The "I guess I didn't know..." in "Busy Child" is sampled from the song "Know the Ledge" by Eric B. & Rakim.[3]

Music videos

At least two music videos were made to promote the song.[4] The original 1997 version (directed by Lance Bangs & Eli Bonerz) was mostly CGI.[5] The second version (directed by Clark Eddy) is more recognizable and includes live concert footage interspersed with clips from the Lost in Space movie.[6]
