The ‘Crazy Hat’ song was an iconic ‘WOWP’ Season 1 moment

Gomez, who played Alex Russo, and Stone, who played Harper Finkle, sang the song in the Wizards of Waverly Place Season 1 episode titled “New Employee.”

Alex and Harper sing it for the first time when someone at school is wearing a hat. They also sing it when Harper works at Alex’s family business, the Waverly Sub Station, upon seeing a customer in a cowboy hat. Then they break into the silly song when Harper works at a frozen yogurt store, and the machine breaks, leaving Alex with frozen yogurt on her head.

What’s that? A hat?
Crazy, funky, junky hat
Overslept, hair unsightly
Trying to look like Keira Knightley
We’ve been there, we’ve done that
We see right through your funky hat

Selena Gomez and Jennifer Stone recreated the ‘Crazy Funky Junky Hat’ song from ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’

Gomez and Stone took a moment from their recent get-together to record a TikTok video of them recreating the Wizards of Waverly Place song.

The singer and actor posted the video on her TikTok account on April 23 with text on the screen that noted, “We had to…”

The former co-stars looked casual with drinks in hand as they went through the dance routine while lip-synching the little ditty.

Stone also posted it on her TikTok account with the caption: “Reunited and it feels so good. #funkyjunky #wizardsofwaverly #harper #alex #yesteryear #nostalgia #whatsthatahat.”

Needless to say, seeing Gomez and Stone together again really had people feeling all the nostalgia. “This sparked something in me I haven’t felt in years,” one person commented on Gomez’s TikTok video.

“I get comments to this day — people are like ‘Do the crazy funky junky hat,’” he said. He excitedly said, “We should totally do that!!”
