i read a lot of retarded comments like "this song is too speedy" or "jules version is better cuz it fit the mood of the song" or "jules mastered this song" and shit like these
now i don't wanna be a brainless hater like lot of you guys, everybody got his point right? but if i can give you advise: before you all talk about something, and in this case about music you better remember two things:
1st jules just sang on a slow piano
and 2nd the name of the song is mad world... not SAD world
I commented on the re-make that I prefer the original because it has an edge and is angrier. I feel the new version is too mopey and depressed, and takes away the angry message behind the song. Someone told me I was a "dumdass" because the Gary Jules version "is the original".
@railynnelson I saw your comment there and the "dumbass" reply. Crazy! It's like these people would insist an Elvis impersonator is really Elvis! Anyway, I posted a comment there too saying no one cares if they hate the 80's, whether they like it or not this song is an 80's baby! I'm sure they are still going to deny the facts ..yadidahh... more eye rolling from us...
@kippetjeuh1 Oh, duh, I've always heard the Gary Jules version thinking it was his original song. Can't beleive I've never heard this great song by one of my favorite 80s bands,Tears for Fears until just now. I like both the Tears for Fears and the Gary Jules versions.
i prefer this version . the gary jules and adam lambert version is too depressing . when people listen to this song they are often depressed so the nice melody brings up their mood. and just look at that dancing 8D
I SO prefer Gary Jules and Lamberts versions! This sounds like a bad modern pop version, I just don't like it. Though it's a very good song that they have written but I like Jules and Lamberts much better ;)
@shampayne69: WHO did they 'steal' it from? This is THEIR song, produced long before all other versions of it. Please, who do you think they stole it from?
I think I love both versions, for different reasons. ultimately, both of them get the idea of the song across. I'd like to see versions of this song in -every- genre.
I think we should always respect the originals, hullo, Gary's version wouldn't EXIST without this one. But I will admit I like his better, this one feels rushed. And don't get me wrong I ADORE 80's music. Just doesn't work for this song. It doesn't give me the same feeling the slow version does.
The video though, well that's just.... no comment xD
i accidentally removed my previous comment. in an earlier response to dumb, err, masterskull, i informed him that the reason why jules' version has more views is bcoz youtube was not yet a very "in-thing" in the 80s worldwide. had it been so, this would surely have more views. the 80s kids are now professionals that they don't have enuf time to visit youtube unlike today's kids who are constantly glued to the net. it's only now that they're discovering who "created" this wonderful song
@masterSkullXXXXXXXXX do u know why? had youtube been an "in-thing" worldwide in the 80s, this would surely have more views. plus the fact that the 80s kids are now professionals, they dont have enough time to visit and watch videos on youtube. today's kids are constantly glued to the internet. it's only now that they are discovering who the real geniuses are behind this great, original song. need i say more, dumb skull? hehehe
just as Jules popularized this song, a real punk version would be even better. TFF sucked balls, literally and figuratively I was there I know. They paved the way for the shite emo garbage. Cash did a more popular version of Hurt by Reznor and a thrashed version of that would be better also. I like to listen to both songs doubled in speed...
@NOmeansnoFAN hmm....I sometimes think Depeche Mode paved the way more for emo shite. " I want somebody to share, share the rest of my life, share my innermost thoughts, know my intimate details...." sounds similar to slow version of this song.
this song was created for another generation which was the 80s, not for the sad, depressed people of today who prefer the emo thing. to 88GTi, yeah dude, i noticed that too, i mean the tambourine at the end of this song continues into the next song Pale Shelter. i thought then it was a continuation. :-)
the gary jules version is better but this is pretty good too. for somereason it doesnt seem like it would be the original. and it seems very old styled
i hate it when bands take a song and make it so sad..if your gonna make it sad and personal make your own fucking song... pisses. If this songs tempo was a little slower i woulda loved it
@ShagZthaClown this song isnt super sad..so y did that guy have to cover it and make it sad..if ur gonna change a song so much just create ur own lyrics and make a new song
I dont remember this song growing up... but I was born in 86. I remember the song being in ' Donnie Darko ' (sp?) but it had been updated by another band. Excellent song :)
Mad World, true dat! The Cold War was at its absolute PEAK in the 80's and the more socially conscious artists were commenting on it within their pop music genre. The renewed sense of impending annihilation was at the back of EVERY conscious persons mind and this song speaks to that. Living in the UK with the US warheads on YOUR land made you a PRIMARY target and one that would get stuck, just by way of proximity, before the United States. Thankfully we've set the clock back a few strokes.
@Yapostadodat you act like you were the only one under the crosshairs. FYI, hundreds of US cities were targeted by russian nukes too. I live in a rural area, but because of our specified industry, we would have been vaporized too.
@Yapostadodat ...Yeah But Yapo...Kids Now Hear A Song And Go....OHHHHHHHHH I Dont Like That...I Prefer The New Version lol...Like Yer Comments...^5 For 80s Thought There
OK so the first version of this song I heard was the Gary Jules version in the movie Donnie Darko. I liked it a lot...then I heard this I like this one a lot too. Why is it all about which is better why can't be all about the love of the song
@sharkwave13 because bands like evergreen terrace prove that even the best of songs can be ruined if you just scream loud enough so then everyone has to argue about which version is best
Ha! Love the "New Wave" dancing in the background. THOSE were the days. Oh how I miss the 80's and 90's. Lots of these people weren't even born back then. Wow. Haven't seen dancing like that in years... Funny!!! I be my brother can still get down like that. I gotta show him this!
Super awesome music, amazing Video!!!! Fuck the Gary jules\adam lambert version
This way far better gary/adam couldn't even make good music themselves so they just copy just as many of the modern crap singers\band- I really the miss the 80's
@goonchistaw jajajaja....ok...I will say this in spanish...la puta de la madre que te parió a tí y a toda italia macarroni de mierda..vete a tomar por culo con el maricon de tu padre,...cuando te pille te voy a meter una que no vas a saber ni por donde te vienen...ok?..translate this...JAJAJAJAJAJAAJA
In 1982, there was a sort of modern post punk soft goth thing, but TFF had captured the contemporary expressionism that later was copied by Madonna, and to a large extent many other modern artists in including JT and Lady G.
When this version came out, it was part of the 'techno' sound that was prevalent at the time. Jules was more in line with the "Emo" schtick that was in the air, everybody was Damien Ricein out...aannnnnnnnnggggggssssstttttttt was the tone
Somehow talking about dreams where your dying with poppy little synth beats behind you just don't sound right. I know it's the original but I much prefer the Gary Jules version. Much more impactful.
wow.. is this the original? the first version I've heard of this song was the version of Adam Lambert, then the one of Gary Jules.. I like those versions more then the original.. this music is almost funny.. :P but this song is also good, not so depressing as the other ones ;) (my opinion)
I grew up with this song...I bought the album 'The Hurting' on vinyl back in 1983 when I was 15 years old, long before CD's MP3's or iPods even existed...Did any of you realise on the Album the tambourine at the end continues straight into the next song 'Pale Shelter'? Didn't think so...Don't expect many of you were even born then?
This fantastic song was written in a different time for a different generation of ears...Please stop comparing it to Gary Jules modern depressing version....
@88GTi The original works off the juxtaposition of tempo and message. Gary Jules simply didn't understand the song when he covered it. I can't imagine any reason to do it the way he did other than he simply didn't understand what was going on.
@Secturis He did it that way because thats the way he interpreted it. When you do a cover of a song it doesn't need to be in the same style as the original. It doesn't even need to convey the same emotions, musically speaking. He made the song his own in a way. He probably did understand the juxtaposition of tempo and message but felt a better connection with the message and wrote a sad song. Whatever, both are great in my opinion.
@twistedwish20 The video of the Gary Jules version is on Youtube...As I type I can see a thumbnail of his video is just to the right...haha!!!
Today SO much new music is only old music remixed and messed about with!!
You can find a Dubstep version of almost anything now..haha!!!
I'm 42 & my Son is 19....I'm not aloud to play original versions of 'New' songs around him because he gets upset "Oh Dad...You've ruined it now"...I still do it though...Makes me laugh so much...haha!!! :)
@88GTi I was there dude! As you know running one song into another was a favorite technique for these guys. They did the same thing with Songs From The Big Chair (Funny How Time Flies). Really good days, Jody Watley, Chris Isaak, Don Imus as a VJ on VH1, 10,000 Maniacs, Edie Brickell, on and on. When the world was young and the days were warm and sunny, and...well you know.
How the hell could anyone think the original sucks? All that gary jules douche did was sing this song fucking slow! How the fuck is that talent? Im going to take a really good song and sing it slower, what a genius!
@Sja620 Is that what you really think? then you are a fucking dumbass SHIT!!!!! because the only reason I know this song is that I heard it in a movie ,i don't listen to this shit music I don't even care ,I'm not homosexual just like you so stop barkling shit around if you don't know FUCK YOU !!!
@RAY3336661 Is that what you really think? then you are a fucking dumbass SHIT!!!!! because the only reason I know you is cause i saw you comment ,i don't listen to faggots like you usually but I don't even care ,I'm not homosexual just like you so stop barkling shit around if you don't know FUCK YOU !!!
@RAY3336661 Wow nice paragraph, too bad all you said was complete nonsense. Rage more faggot, then gtfo the internet because you fail so hard it hurts. Also learn English faggot because half of your response was poorly structured and nonsensical. FYI no one gives a fuck how you know this song you twat, nor do they care whether or not you're homosexual.
@Sja620 I don't need to make a perfect paragraph to make you understand what I said , cuz it's `actually clear ,even though is not well structured or its because you are pathetic and retarted that can't even understand a word .I don't need to write perfectly to make you understand that you are barkling like fucking dog ,I don't give a fuck who are the homosexual singers just like you ,this music is shit and I understand you like fucking gay motherfucker.
@RAY3336661 "Barkling"? What the fuck does that even mean? Jesus Christ you're a bigger moron than I originally gave you credit for kid. Where are your parents? 13 yr olds like you shouldn't be allowed on the internet.
@Sja620 You again motherfucker ? you have nothing to do ,why don't you ask your mom to take you to the park instead of typing shit online and I bet you wont even say a word in front of me you fucking gay homosexual ,by the way is barking ,i never noticed but i dont fucking care !!! get the fuck off homosexual!! go and suck your dad's dick.
@frederick909 It is good but I think that Adam Lambert is trying to hard to sound like the Gary Jules version of slow and depressing with more screaming. It is good for American Idol but not good enough if you want to call it the best by far. In comparison to the original and to the Gary Jules version it is not that good.
This is the original version produced in 1982. I did not know that till now :-D

Well it wouldn't be an 80's pop song if it weren't over-produced with many layers of music.

wow.. is this the original? the first version I've heard of this song was the version of Adam Lambert, then the one of Gary Jules.. I like those versions more then the original.. this music is almost funny.. :P but this song is also good, not so depressing as the other ones ;) (my opinion)

I grew up with this song...I bought the album 'The Hurting' on vinyl back in 1983 when I was 15 years old, long before CD's MP3's or iPods even existed...Did any of you realise on the Album the tambourine at the end continues straight into the next song 'Pale Shelter'? Didn't think so...Don't expect many of you were even born then?
This fantastic song was written in a different time for a different generation of ears...Please stop comparing it to Gary Jules modern depressing version....

@88GTi The original works off the juxtaposition of tempo and message. Gary Jules simply didn't understand the song when he covered it. I can't imagine any reason to do it the way he did other than he simply didn't understand what was going on.

@Secturis He did it that way because thats the way he interpreted it. When you do a cover of a song it doesn't need to be in the same style as the original. It doesn't even need to convey the same emotions, musically speaking. He made the song his own in a way. He probably did understand the juxtaposition of tempo and message but felt a better connection with the message and wrote a sad song. Whatever, both are great in my opinion.

You can find a Dubstep version of almost anything now..haha!!!
I'm 42 & my Son is 19....I'm not aloud to play original versions of 'New' songs around him because he gets upset "Oh Dad...You've ruined it now"...I still do it though...Makes me laugh so much...haha!!! :)

@88GTi It sounds so much more modern than the wax cylinder 78rpm version from 1916 that I grew up with as a child.

@88GTi I was there dude! As you know running one song into another was a favorite technique for these guys. They did the same thing with Songs From The Big Chair (Funny How Time Flies). Really good days, Jody Watley, Chris Isaak, Don Imus as a VJ on VH1, 10,000 Maniacs, Edie Brickell, on and on. When the world was young and the days were warm and sunny, and...well you know.

frederick909 1 year ago
@frederick909 It is good but I think that Adam Lambert is trying to hard to sound like the Gary Jules version of slow and depressing with more screaming. It is good for American Idol but not good enough if you want to call it the best by far. In comparison to the original and to the Gary Jules version it is not that good.
