if you go to www.myspace.com and then to "music" and type "Michael Andrews" you will see a guy in a red looking shirt i guess and listen to it. You start to think about hoe your world is mad right?

I really like that song. Even though it's kinda depressing. I like it. And indeed, it is "a very very mad world."

Great movie top song but not as good as the original. This song was bought out about 1983 by Tears for Fears.Gary Jules covered this for the 2001 movie Donnie Darko. The director Richard Kelly hoped to end the film with the U2 track "MLK," but he couldn't afford the rights. So composer Michael Andrews and childhood friend Gary Jules made a rough recording of this Tears For Fears song to see if Kelly thought it would be suitable. Kelly was so impressed that he used that same recording on the film.
Jules' cover was much slower and more melodic than the upbeat, dance tune by Tears For Fears, which some believe is more in keeping with the lyrics. Others believe the original to be ironic, and that this was lost in the Gary Jules version.
Jules' version was the surprise UK Christmas #1 of 2003, holding off The Darkness and Ozzy & Kelly Osbourne.
Hope you found that interesting!! Check out the original song!!!
