    "comment": "\"Mad World\" was never meant to be a single. Roland Orzabal had written it as the B-side to \"Pale Shelter,\" and it would have stayed there if Mercury A&R man David Bates hadn't pushed for it to be flipped. Released as the band's third single in September 1982, it climbed to No. 3 on the UK chart and became Tears for Fears' first international hit — a full two years before \"Shout\" and \"Everybody Wants to Rule the World\" turned them into stadium-sized stars. \n\nhttps://consequence.net/2021/10/tears-for-fears-mad-world-story-behind-song/\nhttps://tearsforfears.com/",
