"Mad World" is a song by the British band Tears for Fears. Written by Roland Orzabal and sung by bassist Curt Smith, it was the band’s third single release and first chart hit, reaching #3 on the UK Singles Chart in November 1982. Both "Mad World" and its b-side, "Ideas As Opiates", would turn up on the band’s debut LP The Hurting the following year. "Mad World" is also the first TFF’s international hit, reaching the Top 40 in several countries in 1982/1983.
