Top 5 Best Cee Lo Green Songs

Cee-Lo Green explained to Mojo back in December of 2010 why he believed this song proved to be so popular: "It rang true to a lot of my peers and fellow artists. Because the song was about insisting upon doing things my way, and the thin line between being crazy and being convinced that you're right."

Did you know Cee-Lo ang backup on this classic from TLC? Cee-Lo recalled to The Guardian newspaper March 22, 2008: "I was working at the same studio and of course I know the girls too, because we were on the same label, so they just asked me. I didn't realize at the time what a big song it was going to be."

This music video stars Jaleel White, who played the nerdy Steve Urkel in the 1990s sitcom Family Matters. Green is not seen at all and according to his twitter account he, "had no idea they shot a video for cry baby." The singer added, "I hear its cool though."

Cee-Lo explained the meaning of this song to MTV News: "This song, I think, just has a broader appeal, because it's just not talking about me, it's talking about us, he explained. "It's a song about the nightlife and just kinda being out and living for the weekend.

Cee-Lo told Entertainment Weekly that the lyrics about a gold-digging ex aren't strictly autobiographical. "I mean, it's based on something true… As far as me personally, it's not a current event. It's a figurative account. It's not completely fictitious, though."
