Song from crazy Rhode Island girl (8)
I believe the answer is:
madrigal
'song' is the definition.
(madrigal is a kind of song)
'crazy rhode island girl' is the wordplay.
'crazy' becomes 'mad' ('mad' can be a synonym of 'crazy').
'rhode island' becomes 'ri' (US postal abbreviation).
'girl' becomes 'gal' ('gal' can be a synonym of 'girl').
'mad'+'ri'+'gal'='MADRIGAL'
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for madrigal that I've seen before include "Old part song" , "Drag Liam around to hear an unaccompanied song" , "Without exaggeration" , "Unaccompanied song in several parts" , "Part song for unaccompanied voices" .)
