Michael Andrews featuring Gary Jules do a cover of Tears for Fears' "Mad World".
"Mad World" is a song originally written by Roland Orzabal of the British band Tears for Fears. It was the band's third single release and first to crack the charts, reaching #3 on the UK Top 75 chart in October 1982.
"Mad World" would achieve a second round of success over twenty years later, after it was covered by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the 2001 film Donnie Darko. While the Tears for Fears version featured various synthesizers and could be considered somewhat of a dance song, Jules' version was much simpler. Instead of a full musical backing, it used only a haunting set of piano chords and a cello. The cover was originally released on CD in 2002 on the Donnie Darko soundtrack, but an increasing cult following spawned by the movie's DVD release finally prompted Jules and Andrews to issue the song as a proper single. The release was a runaway success in late 2003, becoming the Number One single over the Christmas holiday in the UK, a feat Tears for Fears themselves never accomplished.

I believe Gary Jules only covers this song. I think it was originally done by a band called Tears for Fears. This song has also been covered by Evergreen Terrace and the Red Paintings. My favorite cover is the Red Paintings version, its amazing.

Hell yes. Gary Jules. It's from the awesome movie Donnie Darko!
"All around me are familiar faces, worn out places, worn out faces."
"I went to school and I was very nervous, no one knew me, no one knew me. Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson? Looked right through me, looked right through me..."
"And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad. That dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had."
That is a great song.
