gary jules - mad world.

i must say... this song is incredible.

anyone else hear it? its a little saddening, maybe your more
familiar with the Tears for Fears original.

this version is incredible IMO.

It's a nice song but it has been played to death on TV and
Radio. Also I think it is lacking in something but I'm not
sure what.

gary jules is an ugly talentless fat bastard. He rehashed a
tears for fears song and it got put in a movie. Big deal.

Its a good song but its been played to death over here. A
shame really. It sat nicely in Donnie Darko and now it has a
whole new context. I hate it when the masses get their
grubby little hands on things.

who said it was a big deal. it's a nice song and a nice
album if you like paul simon.

it's an incredible song, and it's not played very often here
(i think). I agree with you, jonesy, when the masses
discover the song ...

Scum. To quote someone else: little people in little houses,
like maggots - small, blind and worthless.

had to conciously avoid tv+radio so as not to get
overexposed to the song. they really did overdo it in
england..
not so much to preserve the track itself, but more so that i
can watch donnie darko without having flashbacks to gary
jules' chubby face, christmas with the relatives, only
fools+horses repeats + too much turkey.. because, lets face
it, that does sort of spoil the end of the film.

i'd have to avoid myself not to get overrexposed to a song.

I've been playing it at work since getting a DD download
early last year...

Amusing that the pigs in the office thought it was
crap....but since it finally got a UK release, & made it way
into thr charts, they've all become very fond of it...

People are STRANGE....

It is a nice song. What gets me so is it sounds as if he is
saying "and I find it kind of fanny", which over here means
"I find it rather vagina".

Resultingly, a new twist is added to said song.

i thought it was an old r.e.m. song the first times i heard
it, must have recognised it from donny darko than, it plays
a big role in it?

its a tears for fears song.
but gary jules sounds like he's doing a michael stipe
impersination..
its played over the last few minutes of the film - when you
see all the principal characters for the last time.
fits in really well.. in that context.
but it made christmas number one single in the sales chart
here in england + was played everywhere on every radio+tv
station.

yes, tnx, i thought that was the case in the movie,
hate to see what'll do to it watching it now.. i too am
overexposed to it, sounds so commercial, that'll pass
though, ive seen it a lot of times on a nypd-trailer on the
telly

i've actually never ever heard it on tv or radio and i
think it's insanely better than the original.
also, the donnie darko sdtrk, in my opinion is absolutely
amazing. i think gary jules is incredibly talented.
