Weekend Wildcard - Mad World by Tears for Fears

This Weekend's Wildcard is Mad World by Tears for Fears. This was originally released in 1982 and was also on the British band's 1983 debut album The Hurting. It was the band's first international hit.

This track saw a resurgence in 2001 when it was covered by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the cult classic film Donnie Darko.

I was inspired to post this after reading Dan Briggs' (Between the Buried and Me) Top 10 List of concept albums.
