It was also featured on the movies Orange County, Herbie Fully Loaded and Something’s Gotta Give. The band’s hit songs include “Butterfly,” “Revolving Door,” “Hurt You so Bad” and “Drowning.” The single “Butterfly” was such a big international success that it was number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and number 3 on the Canadian and UK Singles Chart. Their follow-up album, Darkhorse, was made available to the public in 2002. Their first album The Gift of Game was released in 1999 and went platinum. They got Kraig Tayler, Kyle Hollinger, Doug Miller and Anthony Valli to join the group. In 1995, he and Bret Mazur formed the rap core band Crazy Town, where they were both lead vocals. ![]() The tattoo was a marijuana leaf, located on his right arm. Binzer eventually became a member of the 1990’s hip hop group The Whooliganz at age 15. During his teenage years, he was engrossed with the West Coast hip-hop scene. The family moved to Marblehead, Massachusetts but also returned to LA after some time.Īs a young kid, Binzer was fond of writing poems and later moved on to discovering the art of rapping. He was the son of Rollin Binzer, an artist and a filmmaker who worked on the 1972 Rolling Stones film Ladies and Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones. Binzer was born Augin Los Angeles, California. His uncle, illustrator Ruby Mazur, designed the Rolling Stones’ logo (the lips-and-tongue one) and has purportedly painted 5,000 album covers over an incredibly long career.Shifty Shellshock is a pseudonym used by Seth Brooks Binzer. He began his music production career at just 18, producing a song for R&B group New Edition. This is band co-founder Bret 'Epic' Mazur, who one-in-five YouTube commenters pretend to mistake for Ben Stiller. Shifty Shellshock’s star tattoos get a lot of play later, but it’s worth pointing out this other set of star tattoos, encircling the nipples of bassist Doug Miller. Today, he is sober and merely an enthusiastic coffee-drinker, and continues to perform with Crazy Town (using their new name, Crazy Town X). He has had multiple messy divorces and legal issues, mostly based around his addictions. Before Crazy Town’s success, he spent three months in prison for burglary, and as the band were on the way up they nearly lost it all, being thrown off the Ozzfest tour after Binzer got drunk and threw a chair through a window. He has had his fair share of problems over the years.

The line ' You’re my butterfly, sugar, baby' came from real life. Despite coming out in 2000, when smartphones were a madman’s dream, a reasonable amount of the video looks like every available effect has been layered one on top of the other. Something that is immediately clear is that the makers of this video really, really like the FX tab of whatever they’re using. It comes from the song Pretty Little Ditty, from the 1989 album Mother’s Milk. The sample this song is built around comes from none other than the Red Hot Chili Peppers, giving John Frusciante and Flea co-writing credits and a few big bags of money they probably didn’t even notice. ![]()
