Music video
The video for "Crazy Cool" was directed by Matthew Rolston. Originally, MTV said they wouldn't play the video if it wasn't edited into a cleaner version. In the clip, Abdul holds a black cane on and against herself; she also pours a bottle of beer over her breasts while riding a mechanical bull. Rolston and Abdul claimed that it was simply part of the dance and choreography but MTV still said they would not play the clip unless it was edited. In the end, Rolston and Abdul admitted defeat and edited the video.
The "Single Remix Version" was the remix being played as the video version.
Chart performance
The single proved unsuccessful for Abdul. It failed to make the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 (reaching #58), but proved to be a success in clubs, becoming a hit on the dance charts. The single also found significant success in Canada were it peaked at #16 and it remained on the charts for 15 weeks.
