"She Drives Me Crazy" is a song recorded by the Fine Young Cannibals, included on their 1988 album The Raw and the Cooked. The song peaked at Number 5 as a single in the band's native UK in January 1989 (it was released on New Year's Day) before hitting Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US on 15 April 1989. It also reached Number 3 on the Dutch Top 40.
The unique snare drum "pop" sound was created by recording the snare drum portion separately. A speaker was then placed on top of the snare drum, and a microphone below. The original recording of the snare drum part was played back through the speaker and re-recorded.
Dolly Parton recorded a cover of the song for her 2008 album, Backwoods Barbie, titled "Drives Me Crazy". It was released as a single to Adult Contemporary stations in January 2009.
American singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten performed a version of the song in May of 2011 for The A.V. Club's A.V. Undercover series.
American electronic-industrial musical project Aesthetic Perfection covered the song as a B-Side on their 2012 single 'A Nice Place to Destroy'.
