Crystal (song)
"Crystal" is a song by the English rock band New Order, released as the first single from their seventh album Get Ready. The song entered the UK charts at number 8.

New Order performs this song live a semitone higher than the recording.
The song is notable for a remix contest in which there were thousands of entries around the world.
The music video featured a drum set with the words "The Killers" on it, which was the inspiration for the name of the American rock band The Killers. It also inspired The Killers to shoot the video for their first single, Somebody Told Me, in a similar style, using projections that mimicked the light panel in Crystal.

Famous quotes containing the word crystal:
“If Los Angeles has been called “the capital of crackpots” and “the metropolis of isms,” the native Angeleno can not fairly attribute all of the city’s idiosyncrasies to the newcomer—at least not so long as he consults the crystal ball for guidance in his business dealings and his wife goes shopping downtown in beach pajamas.”
