If you don't see the song in that way, when someone comes along and changes it for you,
without you putting in any effort whatsoever, it's just
We've done Mad World in many different ways.
We've done it with an orchestra.
We've done it in the Michael Andrews, Gary Jules way.
I mean, I found that whole thing surreal because initially, obviously living in LA,
the Gary Jules version I'd heard a year and a half before, I guess, on KCRW.
The other surreal part was the fact it became a number one like a year and a half later,
in England, at Christmas time.
Shows you a little bit about the English mentality.
