“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.)

3)  Belinda Carlisle  ~  “Mad About You”

4)  Ne-Yo  ~  “Mad”

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”

15)  Jessica Biel  ~  “Mad About The Boy”

16)  Weezer  ~  “Mad Kow”

19)  Preservation Hall Jazz Band  ~  “Mad”

20)  U2  ~  “Love You Like Mad”

"Broken" Songs

Seeing as I recently broke my ankle and am currently hobbling around everywhere I go, it only makes sense that I should incorporate that fact into my music blog at some point. Since I've done a "Heartbreak Songs" post in the past, and have included my fair share of other songs with "Broken" in their titles in various posts, I challenged myself to find "Broken" songs that didn't have much to do with hearts and ones that I'd never posted previously. And by jove, I do believe I was successful. Enjoy!  ~  "Hopalong"
