I don't know if this is a peculiarly British thing, but we make a pretty big deal of who is number one in the UK music charts over Christmas. This year, it's that cover of Tears for Fears 'Mad World' by Gary Jules and Michael Andrews. It was featured in the movie 'Donnie Darko'.

If you've heard it, what do you think of it, and how do you think it compares to the original? I just 'acquired' the TfF original, and it's not nearly as nice. The over production of it makes it seem a bit empty, even though the lyrics are so nice.
