"Butterfly"
Song

"Butterfly" is a song by American rock band Crazy Town. It was released in November 2000 as the third single from their album The Gift of Game. The song reached number-one in 15 countries, including the band's native United States.[2] The song contains a sample of "Pretty Little Ditty" from the Red Hot Chili Peppers' 1989 album Mother's Milk.

Critical reception

It was named the 34th "Most Awesomely Bad Song Ever" by VH1.[3] It was also rated number 3 on Billboard's chart for One-hit wonders of the 2000s, compiled in 2009.[4]

Music video

The song's music video, directed by Honey, features the band in a fantasy-like forest complete with butterflies where Shifty Shellshock and Epic Mazur sing their praises to two women with butterfly wings. At one point in the video, Shifty's star-shaped tattoos fly off into the air.
