All I want is the "Mad World" cover off the Donnie Darko Soundtrack. But iTunes wants me to buy the whole damn album? I thought we were living in the future, man! What the hell?

That's what they do sometimes- to get the one good song you really want, you have to buy the whole damn album.

Curse their black little hearts.

And curse this damn commercial that made me want the song.

Holy crap! And then there's this.

Psst, try here.

Okay, and now here's what an idiot I am:

I used Audio Hijacker to...um...let's say "sample" the song from the youtube link. (Once again, Audio Hijacker pays for itself!)

And then, I load it into iTunes. But then, when I try type in the artist name, I see that I already have a song by Gary Jules in my library. I take a look and...whadda ya know? An acoustic version of "Mad World" from a KGSR Broadcast cd.

Oh well. Now I have two versions if anyone wants one.

Thanks, fenriq.

An hour ago, there was a song I wanted. Now, thanks to MeCha, I have three different versions.

Woot!

From a few days ago in case it's a better rip. Also I would love it if you would share the acoustic version.

By the way, the easiest way I've found to find music is g2p.org.

Glad to be of service, ColdChef!

See, that just proves I don't come around here often enough.

Thanks, arse_hat. Your file should be on its way.

Got it. Thanks so much ColdChef.

This is what you get when you take stage bows, you know.

Yet another instance of "Mad World" as commercial soundtrack — in this case, a poignant road-safety campaign (NZ).

Rob, that link won't work for me...

And thanks for the video, ColdChef!
