David Lee Roth's "Goin' Crazy" was to be the theme song to his $20 million (in 1985 US dollars,) CBS motion picture debut, "Crazy From The Heat." The soundtrack was originally pitched to Van Halen as the follow-up to the band's huge "1984," but ended up being one of the many reasons for Roth leaving Van Halen.
"Crazy From The Heat" was the title of Roth's successful 1985 solo EP, which he released while still a member of Van Halen. It later became the title of his 1997 autobiography.
Roth's movie, "Crazy From The Heat," was entirely written and ready to shoot -- and judging by the movie's script (accessible online,) it was basically an extended Van Halen/David Lee Roth video, (e.g. "Hot For Teacher," "California Girls," "Just a Gigolo," etc.) Interestingly, a reunited Aerosmith had been contacted and tentatively slated to contribute to the movie's soundtrack.
CBS Pictures was sold before shooting commenced on "Cazy From The Heat," which ultimately sidelined the movie, along with numerous other films.
