Overview:
The Gift of Game is the debut album by Los Angeles band Crazy Town. It was released on November 9, 1999 in the U.S. by Columbia Records. The album yielded the band its biggest hit to date with "Butterfly" which reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on March 24, 2001. Worldwide the album sold more than 2.5 million units, with more than 1.6 million in the US alone.
The girl licking the lollipop on the cover of the album is a fictional character created by Crazy Town, known as "Little Lolita". Both the album title and the picture of Little Lolita are based on lyrics from the song "Lollipop Porn". The album cover was designed by co-lead singer Shifty Shellshock's father and uncle. A song titled "Lolita" later appeared on Shellshock's solo album Happy Love Sick and her image reappears on Crazytown's third album The Brimstone Sluggers.

Overall, a good rock album that I put on back in the day.

I still have (#16) Butterfly in my playlist.

It's such a horrible thing that fame can do to some people. Shifty could've had a long career with Crazy Town, but I think he had too many problems to continue music.

Crazy to think that the music video, or Shifty, inspired me to chase a physic. I fell just short of that, but it got me into weightlifting and training that helped me out later in life.

He recently passed away, so young.
