Crazy People

Crazy People (stylized as Cяazy People) is a 1990 comedy film starring Dudley Moore and Daryl Hannah, and directed by Tony Bill.

Plot

Emory Leeson is an advertising executive who experiences a nervous breakdown. He designs a series of "truthful" advertisements, blunt and bawdy and of no use to his boss Drucker's firm.

One of his colleagues, Stephen Bachman, checks him into a psychiatric hospital. Emory goes into group therapy under the care of Dr. Liz Baylor and meets other voluntary patients, such as the lovely and vulnerable Kathy Burgess. There is also George, who can only speak one word: "Hello."

By mistake, Emory's advertisements get printed and the new campaign turns out to be a tremendous success. Campaigns like: "Jaguar — For men who'd like hand-jobs from beautiful women they hardly know." and "Volvo — they're boxy but they're good."

Drucker grabs credit for the ads. He assigns Stephen and the rest of his employees to design similar new ad campaigns featuring so-called honesty in advertising, but nothing works.

Crazy People is an album recorded by The Rowan Brothers in 2002. The album cover was photographed by Peter Rowan's daughter, Amanda Rowan.

    Crazy People

    by: Staggered Crossing

    I don't mind living with crazy people
    who are living day by day
    I don't mind living with lonely people
    living life their own way
    Held up for ransom I can't remember my name
    and I don't know where I come from
    Held up for ransom I don't remember my name
    and I don't know where I come from
    I don't mind living with Crazy people
    with their heads stuck down between their knees
    I don't mind living with lonely people
    with their hearts stuck up on their dreams
    Held up for ransom I can't remember my name
    and I don't know where I come from
    Held up for ransom I can't remember my name
    and I don't know where I come from
