Call Me Crazy

By Stella Z. Hu (aka Twig) & Emma Winters

A parody of “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen.

You see me chasing a squirrel
Or spinning ‘round till I hurl
Though I look like a teen girl
I feel seven, not fourteen

Looks like I’m talking to air
Can’t see a face anywhere
But I know my best friend is there
She’s just imaginary

Sliding down the railings
Screaming loud and flailing
Trying to stop and failing…
Want some sprinkles on that pizza?

Hey, I just met you
So don’t you hate me
When I sing too much
Cause you can’t change me
Do I have problems?
Let’s just say maybe
But I’m proud of each one
So call me crazy

Hey, I just met you
So don’t you hate me
When I scream too loud
Cause you can’t tame me
When everyone stares
It doesn’t faze me
I’ll laugh in their face
Yeah, call me crazy

Dodged mannequins at the mall
Then grabbed that broom by the wall
Now I’ll ride it straight down the hall
So get out of my way

I laugh at whatever I see
My favorite show’s MLP
I’ll never stop being me
No matter what they say

Pancakes in my hat
March hares say I’m mad
Pigs fly, that’s a fact
Want some sprinkles on that pizza?

Hey, I just met you
So don’t you hate me
When I toss confetti
Cause you can’t change me
Do I have problems?
Let’s just say maybe
But I’m proud of each one
So call me crazy

Hey, I just met you
So don’t you hate me
When I scream too loud
Cause you can’t tame me
When everyone stares
It doesn’t faze me
I’ll laugh in their face
Yeah, call me crazy

I know it’s not really “normal”, but that’s not so bad
And you should know that
It’s really not so bad
I know it’s not being “normal”, but that’s not so bad
And you should know that
It’s really not so bad

Yeah, I know playing tag
Should be for babies
But I still think it’s fun
Come on and chase me

Hey, I just met you
So don’t you hate me
When I dance in the streets
Cause you can’t change me
When everyone stares
It doesn’t faze me
I’ll laugh in their face
Yeah, call me crazy

I know I’m not being “normal”, but that’s not so bad
And you should know that
It’s really not so bad
I know I’m not really “normal”, but that’s not so bad
And you should know that
So call me crazy!

Process

Stella wrote this song parody some years ago. Stella and Emma met at a library to record Stella singing it. Emma used Adobe Audition to add background music to Stella’s vocals. Stella and Emma worked together to improve the sound and make final edits.
