Butterfly
In 1999 the American band "Crazy Town" reached a No.1-Hit with the song "Butterfly" in Germany and in the US. But perhaps many people don't know, that the song was already written ten years before. The "Red Hot Chili Peppers" published this song in an instrumental version with the title "Pretty Little Ditty" in 1989. "Crazy Town" only added a text to the melody and the No.1-Hit was ready.
In my opinion the instrumental version is really upgraded with the remake, so my vote goes to "Crazy Town". Nevertheless the song doesn't reflect the true style of "Crazy Town". The rest of the album, which is a mixture of rock, metal and rap, is absolutely awful. "Butterfly" was the only real success.

Comments about Butterfly:
Nobody I talk to ever remembers any of the lyrics for 'Butterfly' (well, except for pieces of the chorus). What they remember is the instrumental part of it. Says a lot to me.

Look RHCP are a very good band , and may i say still going today, but crazy town made it a better song, fairenough they used the same guitar peice but they added their lyrics to it and it reached number one in two places, so really aswell as getting credit for them selves they got pretty little ditty recognised more. So for you lot who wanna suck RHCP knobs(me included XD) god give a bit to crazy town, they did get a number one. and clill out. it was over 10 years ago now.

I love RHCP! It is messed up that Crazy Town would sample Pretty Little Ditty. Most people that liked Crazy Towns version liked the guitar not the lyrics. What does that tell you. RHCP is awesome!

I don't really like the song 'Butterfly'. Crazy Town chose a soft opton. Red Hot Chili Peppers made their instrumental introduction and it was the mainstay of 'Butterfly'...
Fuck them and listen RHCP!!
