About this song: Mad World

"Mad World" was covered by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the film Donnie Darko (2001), achieving a second round of success almost twenty years after the original. While the Tears for Fears version featured various synthesizers and percussion, the Andrews/Jules version was stripped down; instead of a full musical backing, it used only a set of piano chords, a cello, and modest use of a vocoder on the chorus.
