Source-derived summary

"Deli Oğlan" (En. Crazy Boy) is the fourth single, ninth overall, by Belgian-Turkish singer Hadise from her second self-titled studio album Hadise. The single is the Turkish version of her song A Good Kiss and is the first single to be released in Turkey only. The song has officially established Hadise as part of the Turkish music scene, as her previous singles didn't receive heavy plays on both radio and television, with the exception of "Stir me up" and "bad boy".

Lyrics

The song was re-written in Turkish, by Turkish Pop legend Sezen Aksu, the Turkish version is entitled "Deli Oğlan", meaning "Crazy Boy".

Music video

A music video was shot for the song, which differs from A Good Kiss. The video was shot in Turkey and was released on June 6, directed by Emir Khalilzadeh. Before the release pictures emerged online of the music video. The images showed Hadise in a dress with a male model hugging, the Turkish media made a fuss about the music video looking too erotic. However the male model scenes were cut from the final edit.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Deli Oğlan” as 2008 single by Hadise. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Deli, Oğlan and single.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 182-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2008-06-06. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Deli, Oğlan and single providing the first useful test.
