The song is certainly an anthem for how the world is today: “I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take / When people run in circles it’s a very very / Mad world, mad world.”

While many people have put their own spin on the song, Tears for Fears was the band that helped the song come to fruition. it was the band’s third single release and the first chart hit. It reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart in November 1982. The most notable cover of this song is by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules, which gives a much darker and somber vibe.
