Did anyone else know that "Mad World" was originally by Tears for Fears? And have you heard the original verion? Because it sounds very, very wrong.

In other news, my phone now has the GetPix feature, but it's having connection problems >_<

Hee. I knew "Mad World" with Tears for Fears first (I have the CD, even), but it wasn't my favorite of their songs. But then I fell in love with the Gary Jules version and now the TfF version does sound wrong. :)

I'd never heard the Tears for Fears version.. didn't have a clue. I feel musically ignorant :-P

Yes! Love Donnie Darko. I can't wait to see the Director's Cut; hope the theaters around here will show it.

I found out about the Tears for Fears version of "Mad World" last year after watching Donnie Darko for the first time. Jules' version is light years better. Personally, I'm a much bigger fan of the song Tears for Fears had represented themselves in the movie..."Head Over Heels", one of the better 80s songs I've ever heard.

Is it just a problem with GetPix or can you not connect to all of GetNow? Because when I first got my phone I had that problem too, I just took it into Verizon and they fixed it.

GetTunes works fine, so I'm assuming other stuff works. GetPix *just* showed up on the phone last night. Tried MyWallpaper, which lets me into the app, but I can't view anything - the download screen just sits there. They might still be working on getting it compatible with the new model. I'll give it a few days.

It might just be a setting that verzion can fix.

Yep. Loved it. One of my favorite TFF songs.

I love the new version too... But I tend to hear the original as I'm listening to it.
