In 2000, Crazy Town was signed to tour with Ozzfest ; however, they were forced to withdraw after only two weeks when Binzer was arrested after he threw a chair through a window while he was drunk. Crazy Town then released their third single in 2001, “Butterfly” (which uses samples from Red Hot Chili Peppers’ ” Pretty Little Ditty “). It reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Soundscan reports 100,000 album sales of The Gift of Game prior to the release of “Butterfly”; after “Butterfly” reached number 1, sales exceeded 1.5 million.
