Wikipedia:
In early 1972 the Aztecs released what became their biggest hit, and Thorpe’s signature tune – Most People I Know (Think That I’m Crazy), a song now widely regarded as one of the classics of Australian rock.
…propelled to the top of charts by the band’s triumphant appearance at the 1972 Sunbury Music Festival.

Lyrics:
Most people I know think that I’m crazy and
I know at times I act a little hazy but

in every way help me to show it
oooooooo yeah, yeah, yeah
