Hair/Crazy in Love from/by Hair/Beyoncé feat. Jay-Z is a mash-up featured in Hairography, the eleventh episode of Season One. It is sung by the New Directions, with solos from Artie and Mercedes.
They sing it in the choir room for the Haverbrook School for the Deaf. The performance contains a lot of "hairography," or frequent hair tossing (with all of the boys wearing long wigs). This performance was inspired by the Jane Addams Academy girls' performance of Bootylicious (they introduced the hairography). After the performance, the Haverbrook Glee Club looked freaked out and Will didn't look impressed with what he had done.

Artie:

Most incredibly, it's ya boy Artie
It's ya girl Mercedes
Mercedes:
You ready, hey
New Direction Girls:
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no

I look and stare so deep in your eyes
I touch on you more and more every time
When you leave I'm begging you not to go
Call your name two or three times in a row
Artie:
I'm hairy high and low
Don't ask me why I don't know
Oooh

Down to where it stops by itself
Where it stops by itself (Mercedes: Ooooh)
