Crazy Train

Madness on rails

Crazy Train is the title of a 1980 heavy metal song by Ozzy Osbourne, known for its distinctive opening guitar riff.

The phrase has entered general speech to describe chaotic situations or erratic behavior: This project has gone completely off the rails—I'm getting off the crazy train.

To ride the crazy train is to participate in something wild or irrational.
