    BS. They got the lyrics from Chester. Chester got them from me, Eugene. It will be proven in court but they say I am too evil to benefit from it.

    I've read this reason for them not playing it and am not convinced. Why this song and not any other? I suspect having to bring a pipe player to every gig has something to do with it.

    “A darker meaning behind the sound”? Who on earth didn’t know the song was about gunning others down the first time they heard the song? Every word of the song is about getting his dad’s gun and feeling cool making all the rich kids run for their lives! That’s like saying “courtesy of the red, white and blue” has a “hidden patriotic, saber rattling, pro military meaning”. There is nothing obscure about either song!

      @anotheryoutubesailingchann5710 7 годин тому

      ​@@gslgregoryI wonder if Bon ever played them at all on the record. He played drums in a pipe band. I suspect they never wanted to drag a pipe player to every gig for just one song.

    John Berry and Kate Schellenbach were in the original, post-Young Aborigines lineup. Ad Rock replaced Berry when he left the band, and they were a 4 piece until they kicked Kate out and decided to focus on rap.

    @sillybilly100XD 22 години тому

    fun fact!!!: the traditional folk song is almost always told from the point of view of a woman!!! the "its been the ruin of many a poor boy" line generally is either "poor girl" or "poor soul" in traditional versions!!!

    • @sillybilly100XD
      @sillybilly100XD 22 години тому

      this also makes sense for the house being a brothel!!! prostitution is a job that no one wants but people go into for financial need, it can make your life feel like shit all for a very small paycheck. it would make sense for this to be the ruin of many poor girls!!!

    I was 15 in the UK when the original was released. It blew us away back then. I was recently blown away yet again 42 years later by Sierra Hull’s Bluegrass style version: www.google.com/search?q=bluegrass+mad+world&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari# And again by Curt Smith and his daughter with their ethereal harmonies: www.google.com/search?q=mad+world+curt+smith+and+diva&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari# A true classic song stands the test of time by being invented over and over again by new generations and genres.

    Chris the bassist from Nirvana said it best back in 92’ he said it was a wanna be Seattle band that took the name Stone from the guitarist from Pearl Jam and Temple from Temple of the dog … and pilots because Seattle was home to so many piltots and they made planes there. Haha. He was always pretty hilarous

    I thought it was because of a book that Laurence Tolhurst had read, and Robert Smith didn't like it because he felt it sounded too hippie, so they changed it to "The Cure" because every group they liked had "The" in front of their name.

    I always felt that the song was about someone who was fighting to keep a relationship going where his/her partner was constantly F'ing up and the protagonist was reaching their limit. Losing their faith.
