Mad World, bad memory - help me, Gondry!


Where the Hell did I hear that song? Mad world, by... Gary Jules? Never heard of that name. Did I hear it in a movie? Did one of you link to it in a recent post? Am I losing my head? Well the song helps you lose your head alright, with its never-ending melody you can't get rid of for days. Nonetheless. It feels so strange when half a memory comes to you and tickles your brain until you grasp the other half.

They say it appears in Donny Darko's OST. Sure, but the last time I saw that movie, it was in early 2002! So where was it that I heard it recently? --I can feel I'm getting older.

What if it is the music of a publicity that is on the television? (Or something that we heard in a pub or in a shop...as you might have guessed we heard it together :-) ) I even remember humming along with it when we heard it - where the hell do I know it from?!?

It really must have been in CSI :-)

It is a Tears for Fears song, re-tuned a bit for the sake of Donnie Darko.
I can't send a link to it right now, but I have it in many copies at home, I can upload it if you want me to...
