Mad World, performed by Michael Andrews for the Donnie Darko soundtrack.
Originally by Tears for Fears but this Version hits it out of the park, where the original is rather insignificant

This song gave birth to Tears for Fears. The original is definitely significant. One of all time techno songs.

Maybe I should have added "...rather insignificant for me, especially in this thread".

I don't like the original too much (where as I really like Tears for Fears in general), but I really love the Michael Andrews cover for the Donnie Darko soundtrack. Completely transforms this song for me
