"Crazy Bitch" kicked off 15, Buckcherry's third album, in 2006, and it's sleaze-rock with the brakes cut: Keith Nelson's riff swaggers and struts, and Josh Todd spits out the words like he's daring somebody to bleep him. Todd wrote the lyrics, Nelson the music, and Nelson produced alongside Paul DeCarli and Mike Plotnikoff, who also mixed it. Todd has said the spark was the Paris Hilton sex tape from 2004, and that he first put the chorus down on his mother's answering machine.
The band never meant it to be the single; there was far too much swearing for regular radio. Satellite stations could run it uncut, though, and a few in New York City played it to death, which was all the push it needed. It became their first entry on the Hot 100 and picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance.
