"Let me go 'Crazy On You'!" (Ann Wilson and Heart, 1977)

“Let me go ‘Crazy On You’!” (Ann Wilson and Heart, 1977)

Seeing as how it’s been almost six weeks since we last heard from Heart, I think it’s time for another hard rocking hit tune. Here’s Ann and Nancy Wilson and the band performing “Crazy On You” live on The Midnight Special in March of 1977.

“Crazy On You,” written by the Wilson sisters, was recorded in 1975 and appeared on Heart’s February, 1976 debut L.P., Dreamboat Annie. The song reached #35 on the US Billboard “Hot 100.” Go crazy, you wild kids.

The Perils of Penelope Pitstop, a spin-off of Hanna-Barbera’s Wacky Races cartoon, originally ran from September, 1969 to January of 1970. Just qualifying for 1970s pop culture. The show ran in reruns in the 1970s as well, so I’m laying it on you free of any 60s-era guilt, man.

Penelope Pitstop is perpetually perturbed. Phew!
