вЂњ Ideas as OpiatesвЂќ is a song that originally served as the B-side to the вЂњMad WorldвЂќ single. A later remix by noted British music producer Afterlife was featured on the 2005 reissue of the Tears for Fears greatest hits collection Tears Roll Down (Greatest Hits 82вЂ“92). This mix is very similar to the album version, with the most notable differences being the additional echo added to the intro and middle sections and the subtraction of a subtle keyboard part from the bridge. The song had only one remix on its initial release, the World Remix that was featured on a 7вЂі double-single. The 7вЂі version of вЂњMad WorldвЂќ is the same mix of the song found on The Hurting. Not that Bath is very madВ вЂ“ I should have called it вЂњBourgeois WorldвЂќ! That came when I lived above a pizza restaurant in Bath and I could look out onto the centre of the city. At PolygramвЂ™s insistence, the band instead decided it may be something people would like to hear on the radio and held back its release, waiting to issue the song as a single in its own right after re-recording it with producer Chris Hughes, a former drummer with Adam and the Ants. It began life intended to be the b-side for the bandвЂ™s second single вЂњ Pale Shelter (You DonвЂ™t Give Me Love)вЂњ. After a few false starts with Orzabal on vocals, Smith took over and вЂњsuddenly it sounded fabulousвЂќ. вЂњMad WorldвЂќ was originally written on acoustic guitar when Orzabal was 19, it was a deliberate attempt to write something in the vein of Duran DuranвЂ™s вЂњ Girls on FilmвЂњ. 8.5 Chart positions for Adam LambertвЂ™s version.8 Michael Andrews and Gary Jules version.
