“Mad” Songs, Vol. 2

As promised, here's part 2 of 2 featuring songs with the word "Mad" in the title. Don't get mad...just enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Puddles Pity Party & Haley Reinhart  ~  “Mad World”  (Mmkay, so this is the same root song as the Tears For Fears classic in Vol. 1, but it's completely different when performed in a neo-vaudeville style. Especially when the singers are a seven-foot-tall clown with golden pipes and a feisty young songstress with exemplary lungs of her own.)

11)  The Veronicas  ~  “Mad Love”

12)  The Waterboys  ~  “Mad As The Mist & Snow”

13)  Jasmine Thompson  ~  “Mad World”  (Yes, this is another version of the Tears For Fears song, and no, I didn't run out of good songs to pick. I just liked all three versions for different reasons, and couldn't leave any one of them out.)

14)  Neon Trees  ~  “Mad Love”
