I think both versions of Mad World are complimentary. The original is a panic attack, not wanting to be a part of the monotony, and crying out while actively fighting it. The cover is resigned to the state of everything, and feels somber and defeated. I think both work back to back really well.

I love cover songs - everything from reinvented mega-hits to experimental versions gone awry. As a result Iâve lived this series youâve released about reinvented covers more popular than the original. There are some that Iâm surprised that didnât make your first three episodes:
If you start chanting Hooga-Chaka Hooga-Chaka you might be Hooked On a Feeling, and it is the Blue Suede version that covers the B.J. Thomas original in a very different way.
A reggae reimagining of Neil Diamondâs Red Red Wine had UB40 playing on those hot summer 80âs nights.
Barenaked Ladies outdo the original Bruce Cockburn version of Lovers in a Dangerous Time with their fun harmonies and the long bows on the cello really set it apart.
If you had the Friends soundtrack CD in your car in the 90âs you were probably singing along to Hootie and the Blowfish singing I Go Blind. This one stays pretty true to the 54-40 original, but popularity of Hootie and of Friends certainly make this the better known version.

Iâm 24 and I wasnât even aware there was a cover of Free Fallinâ the Petty version is the only version Iâd heard until today.
