Кіріспе
1999 жылы Crazy Town тобының шығарған "Butterfly" синглы.
"Butterfly" was described by George Lang of the Oklahoman as a "a deft blend of hip hop and rock". 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". 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. 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." Spin labelled "Butterfly" as a "nu metal power ballad" and possibly the biggest love song of the entire genre. 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. 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. It was also rated number three on ''Billboards chart for one hit wonders of the 2000s, compiled in 2009. Spin named "Butterfly" as the 13th best nu metal song. Music video
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. Track listingsUS 7 inch singleA. "Butterfly" – 3:37

"Butterfly" әнін Oklahoman газетінің журналисі Джордж Лэнг "хип-хоп пен рок жанрларының шебер үйлесімі" деп сипаттады. Guitar World журналынан Алан ди Перна Crazy Town тобының негізінен рэп-металл жанрындағы екенін, олардың музыкасында жанрдың "көшелік гитаралық күйі" мен "сегізінші онжылдықтардың баламалы мелодикасы" үйлесіп, әнді "хип-хоп хош иісі бар баллада" деп атады. Spin журналының журналисі Тим Кеннелли де осы пікірді қолдады, топтың "рэп-металдың әдеттегі "маған қиянат жасады" деген ағымнан" аулақ болғанын атап өтті. KIIS FM радиостанциясының музыкалық директоры Майкл Стил Лос-Анджелес Таймс газетіне берген сұхбатында әннің кең таралғандығын айтты, "Butterfly" әнінің "рэп-рок жанрынан толығымен өзгешеленгенін" мәлімдеді. Spin журналы "Butterfly" әнін "nu metal power ballad" деп атап, бүкіл жанрдағы ең танымал махаббат әні деп санайды. Әннің мәтінінде Шифти өзімен бірге болған әйелді көбелек деп атайды. Ол "Сид пен Нэнси" туралы айтады, бұл ағылшын панк-рок тобы Sex Pistols-тың Сид Вишес және оның американдық әйелі Нэнси Спюнген туралы. Әннің қосымында ол "кел, сүйіктім" деген рефренды қайталап, оған мейірімді лақаптар айтады. Ол оның өмірін жақсартқанын айтып, оның өзімен бірге болатынына уайымдайды және соңғы шумақты оған алғыс айтумен аяқтайды. 2009 жылы құрастырылған 2000-шы жылдардың бір ғана хиті бар әндер тізімінде бұл ән үшінші орынды иеленді. Spin журналы "Butterfly" әнін ең жақсы nu metal әндерінің тізімінде 13-ші орынға қойды.

"Darkside" (видео CD қосымшасы)
"Butterfly" was described by George Lang of the Oklahoman as a "a deft blend of hip hop and rock". 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". 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. 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." Spin labelled "Butterfly" as a "nu metal power ballad" and possibly the biggest love song of the entire genre. 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. 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. It was also rated number three on ''Billboards chart for one hit wonders of the 2000s, compiled in 2009. Spin named "Butterfly" as the 13th best nu metal song. Music video
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. Track listingsUS 7 inch singleA. "Butterfly" – 3:37

Spin labelled "Butterfly" as a "nu metal power ballad" and possibly the biggest love song of the entire genre. 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. 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. It was also rated number three on ''Billboards chart for one hit wonders of the 2000s, compiled in 2009. Spin named "Butterfly" as the 13th best nu metal song. Music video
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. Track listingsUS 7 inch singleA. "Butterfly" – 3:37

"Butterfly" was described by George Lang of the Oklahoman as a "a deft blend of hip hop and rock". 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". 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. 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."
