Mad World performed by Diva & Curt Smith of Tears For Fears
One of the songs that I played over and over again growing up was Mad World by @TearsForFearsOfficial. Hard to imagine a song that seems more relevant right ...
Damn, Curt Smith's STILL got it. Sure, I generally root for anyone named "Curt/Kurt" but Tears for Fears is the simply best. 😜

Tears for Fears, Songs From The Big Chair, 1985 on Mercury
Sophomore album from Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, following The Hurting. Hard to imagine trying to follow up that record, but this went to number one in the US. “Shout” and “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” fueled that success.
They’ve been touring again in support of The Tipping Point but I’ve not managed to see them (other than via YouTube).
Like (much of) The Hurting, produced by Chris Hughes (who had previously been a drummer in Adam and The Ants under the alias Merrick).
My copy—via Waterloo Records in Austin TX—is a PRC Richmond pressing from the mid eighties.
