Ozzy Osbourne went into No Rest for the Wicked, his fifth solo studio album, with a new gunslinger, and "Crazy Babies" is part of Zakk Wylde's debut on record: he landed the job off a demo tape and an audition after Jake E. Lee was fired in 1987. Wylde shares the writing credit with Osbourne, drummer Randy Castillo and bassist Bob Daisley, back in the fold for the first time since Bark at the Moon, with newcomer John Sinclair on keyboards.
Ozzy chased Roy Thomas Baker for the job after hearing the drums on Slade's You Boyz Make Big Noize, and Baker produced alongside Keith Olsen, who also mixed. The lineup didn't outlast the sessions: Daisley was gone again once recording wrapped, with Geezer Butler taking his place for the tours.
