"Butterfly" is a song by American rap rock band Crazy Town. The song was released in October 2000 as the third single from their debut album, The Gift of Game. It gained mainstream popularity after being released physically on February 19, 2001. It is based on a sample of "Pretty Little Ditty" from the Red Hot Chili Peppers' 1989 album Mother's Milk, so band members Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Chad Smith, and John Frusciante are credited as writers.

"Butterfly" peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for two nonconsecutive weeks. Outside of the United States, the song topped the charts in seven countries, including Austria, Denmark, and Norway, and it peaked within the top ten on the charts of several others, including Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Crazy Town did not choose to release "Butterfly" as the first single from The Gift of Game. Guitarist Kraig "Squirrel" Tyler explained: "We knew all along we didn't want to release 'Butterfly' first because we didn't want to be known as the band that does 'Butterfly'. We are looking at this like we want to have a career. That isn't who we are".[2] In describing the song, frontman Shifty Shellshock said: "Well, a song like 'Butterfly' is a no-brainer, everyone seems to love that no matter how hard they are, it's very radio friendly, the female audience loves it and at the same time I think we kept our integrity with it, it's not a sell-out song, it's very real and cool and I like it".[3]

"Butterfly" was described by George Lang of the Oklahoman as a "a deft blend of hip-hop and rock".[4] Alan di Perna of Guitar World magazine noted Crazy Town were predominantly a rap-metal group, with their music containing the "streetwise guitar rage" of the genre combined with "a dash of Eighties alternative melodicism" and declared the song as a "hip-hop flavored ballad".[5] This was echoed by Tim Kenneally of Spin who noted that the band avoided "descending into rap-metal's typical bitch-done-me-wrong jeremiads"; he declared it a sappy hip-hop love song.[6] Michael Steele, a music director of the pop radio station KIIS-FM, noted the song's crossover appeal in an interview in the Los Angeles Times, declaring that among rap-rock songs, "Butterfly" was "the one that completely crossed over from the rap-rock genre."[7] Spin labelled "Butterfly" as a "nu metal power ballad" and possibly the biggest love song of the entire genre.[8]

In the lyrics of the song, Shifty calls a lady he has been with butterfly. He references "Sid and Nancy", which is Sid Vicious of the English punk rock band Sex Pistols and his American girlfriend Nancy Spungen.[9] In the chorus, he repeats the refrain "come my lady" and calls her several terms of endearment. He describes how she has changed his life for the better and wonders if she will stay with him, ending the final verse by thanking her.[9]

It was named the 34th "Most Awesomely Bad Song Ever" by VH1.[10] It was also rated number three on Billboard's chart for one-hit wonders of the 2000s, compiled in 2009.[11] Spin named "Butterfly" as the 13th best nu metal song.[8] "Butterfly" was featured in Metal Hammer's "The Top 40 Best Nu Metal Songs Ever Made" list and ranked at #18.[12]

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

kendrick lamar is one of my favorite artists, he has a ton of masterpieces and obviously one of his best is TPAB. i am very enthusiastic about this album and talk about it frequently with my friends. personally, a song i really like off the album is Institutionalized (underrated asf), i think it has a lot of meaning and plays an important part on the album, but my friends disagree, they say Institutionalized is the WORST song off TPAB, i disagree.

A deliciously creamy, savory, and sweet goat cheese ice cream turned blue with butterfly pea flowers ribboned through with bright red strawberry habanero jam. The ice and fire, together, to commemorate the end of Game of Thrones.

I am not quite as taken by this song as you are. To me it sounds like I have heard this song a dozen times before, albeit sans cheerleader chants and disjointed rap verse. (If there was a rap verse, it blended in well, so well I have missed it six times listening just now.)

My main issue with the song is probably the lack of noticeable rises and falls, that being said still find it enjoyable and catchy if not quite as good as their last two titles.

Thoughts on the album?

By Jeremiah TuckerGlobe columnistI'm going to cover two different topics today. The first is in honor of Halloween having taken place this week. Initially, I thought about trying to come up with a list of the creepiest songs of all time, but that would have required a lot of research and a lot of time, so instead I narrowed the list down to the all-time champ. The second is about the dangers of listening to independent music.The Creepiest Song of All-Time: Bob Carlisle's "Butterfly Kisses"Some may have gone with a Cannibal Corpse song or some other horror-metal act, but no song makes my skin crawl like "Butterfly Kisses."A big part of it is Bob singing the first-person dialogue. No grown man should ever sing the words: "You know how much I love you, Daddy, but if you don't mind I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time." Yes, Bob's impersonation of a little girl imploring her daddy to allow her to just kiss him on the cheek - please, just the cheek, just this time, daddy! - would get the song a respectable placement on my list of all-time creep-out songs, but the fact that the listener is obviously supposed to find Bob's daughter's obsession endearing, even admirable, wins this song the top prize.Now I'm not saying you can't write a nice song about your daughter growing up, but of all the things one man might love about his daughter, why fixate on her kissing ability? I mean, Bob loved - loved! - his daughter's sweet, sweet butterfly kisses, and he lets you know it. Most of the song is Bob saying he did a lot of bad things in his life, but, man oh man, he certainly did something right to deserve his daughter's "love in the morning and butterfly kisses at night."And this song is not a fun line-dancing number. No, this song is a lament! Bob's pouring out his emotion; his daughter's getting married. He knows his butterfly kissing days are over, and he's not happy about it.Now perhaps there are some people who love this song and find it touching. That's fine. I'm not implying this song is necessarily anything less than chaste. However, I wonder if the song would still be popular if Bob sang nearly the exact same lyrics, except the song was about how great a butterfly kisser his son was. Somehow I doubt it, and that's what I find most disturbing about this song, the whole special father-daddy's-precious-pretty-little-princess relationship it's supposed to represent. I mean, did Bob's son get a firm handshake every evening after dad had his fill of butterfly kisses? The whole sentiment is just creepy, but the song is great for Halloween and bad weddings.Weed and indie musicA new public service announcement links smoking marijuana with listening to "indie rock." The ad, which is put out as part of the White House's Office of National Drug Control Policy's "Above the Influence" campaign, is a girl talking in a robot voice that transitions into her normal speaking voice as a subtle way of saying "it's totally rad to just be yourself, kids."The girl in the ad says: "Being popular was all I could think about last year. I wanted to, like, be cool with everybody. I listened to music that I didn't like and laughed at stuff that wasn't funny. I programmed myself to be a totally different person to everyone. But I wasn't myself. Now I'm not pretending to like indie rock or anything like that. And people think that's cool."Then a professional male voice tells you to live above the influence, live above weed, check out our Web site.I didn't think I would say this before I was 65 or so, but this is what my tax dollars are going toward? For one, these kind of anti-drug campaigns are essentially useless. Two, while I wish more kids had a philosophic appreciation for Britney Spears' "Toxic," I'm slightly offended by the tone of the ad, which seems to be that pot smokers are a bunch of weirdo slackers listening to The Walkermens and their Deathrap Taxies for Attractive People and what not. I am sick of these negative campaign ads! The skyrocketing obesity rate among young people is a much more dangerous societal problem than marijuana, but if ads portrayed young people who eat too much as negatively as they do kids who choose to smoke weed, people would be outraged.Imagine a little boy on an abandoned street looking around for someone who isn't there, and then a stentorian voiceover saying: "Go ahead, tubby, tell your little brother you forgot him because you were too busy stuffing your fat face. Don't be disgusting; live above the calories."But no, we have to coddle the chubby kids and vilify the pot smokers and indie rockers. It's not fair. Especially when many parents would probably rather their children smoke pot than be obese.Address correspondence to Jeremiah Tucker, c/o The Joplin Globe, P.O. Box 7, Joplin, MO 64802.

So imagine the thrill my heart feels when Percy, my 3 year-old grandson wants to sing this song. He does the motions and he sings the parts he can. He giggles too. But remember the message? God has a plan for their lives. God loves them. God made them just the way they are.

After the Second World War, some of the lyrics were altered due to their association with Imperial Japan and only the first stance remained, taking on its final form as the popular song that Japanese children and their parents know and love. 2351a5e196
