The new Pick the Rick Video of the Month has been decided by you! Now showing in the Video section is The Craziest Thing. It is the first video to air for a second time on www.ricktippe.com since the launch of the new site in August 2007. In October 1996, this song and video were the first released from Rick's sophomore CD Get Hot Or Go Home. The video was an instant hit at CMT Canada receiving heavy rotation while the song also did extremely well finding its way into the Top 15 at Canadian Country Radio.

Voting has begun for the May Video of the Month, so remember you can cast your vote once a day, every day throughout the month of May to determine the next Rick Tippe video to play here at www.ricktippe.com.

Fun Facts about The Craziest Thing music video - The Craziest Thing video was a two day shoot filmed in Vancouver, BC in an empty warehouse. The entire set was built on site. This was director Ulf Buddensieck's second video working with Rick and his goal was to capture his high energy from the stage and bring it to the small screen. The Kings of Cool then known as Stetson Moon (including original keyboardist Andy Smyth) made a couple of brief appearances in the video. Sportsnet Connected broadcaster Don Taylor also made a cameo appearance in the video. Rick always enjoyed watching Don's broadcasts on Sports Page which aired week nights in Vancouver on TV station VU-13. One night after Don had completed his broadcast he came over to MV Video, which happened to be just up the street from VU-13, where he ad-libbed his part in the video. Unfortunately the opening scenes that featured Don reading out the stats, as the camera panned the living room full of passed out band members, were axed by CMT. Since there was no music playing during these scenes CMT decided to delete the majority of Don's performance. But don't fret, here at www.ricktippe.com we are pleased to bring to you The Craziest Thing video in its entirety. Enjoy!
