• Love you, OP! Love Tears for Fears. Break it Down Again and Head Over Heels instantly take me back to good times.

• I love THIS Head Over Heels.

• Not true though. Most people don't want to rule anything.

• It's not even the best Tears for Fears song. "Mad World" would be it for me.

• Genius

• It's the perfect pop confection with the perfect accompanying video.

• Mad World is great...if you wanna be DEPRESSED!

• That is a Very old song.

• And yet it never gets old.

• "Woman In Chains" is an amaaaaazing song

• "And yet it never gets old." Umm yeah, it really did.

• R12, no, it never did.

• I disagree. Everybody Wants to Rule the World is a classic. I never get tired of hearing it and the first few notes are ingrained in my head. I have an immediately happy reaction when I hear them.

• Welcome to your life; there's no turning back Even while we sleep we will find You acting on your best behavior Turn your back on mother nature Ev'rybody wants to rule the world

• I think not. Like R4, I don't believe everyone *does* want to rule the world. All the song does for me is remind me of the second biggest control queen I've ever known. I have 12,900 songs on iTunes, and not one of them is "Everybody Wants to Rule the World."

• I love to bellow along to "There's a room where the light won't find you! Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down!" When I'm not alone, I have to do it in my head but that's not as much fun.

• It was the song in my head on election day.

• [quote]I never get tired of hearing it and the first few notes are ingrained in my head. I have an immediately happy reaction when I hear them. Me too!! I wish they'd have re-used that epic little intro jingle a few more times throughout the song because it's THAT good.

• this song is about the cold war. USSR vs US. real serious stuff.

• !2" Mix...loves it!

• Sowing the Seeds of Love still makes me long for those afternoons I spent lanquishing away my future in the campus bar.

• Yet another reason why 1985 was the height of human civilization.

• R23, LMAO.

• It's a great song, OP. I created a thread recently about another great song from this album, "Head Over Heels". I acutally prefer EWTRTW and HOH over "Shout". "Broken", which is a sort of segue to "Head Over Heels", is another gret track from Songs From The Big Chair.

• Head Over Heels is indeed amazing!

• Not even the best Tears For fears song. Shout and Mad World are much better.

• No, no, girls. The best ever TfF song is "Advice For The Young At Heart" !!!!!

• [quote]Not even the best Tears For fears song. Shout and Mad World are much better NOT! Those are great songs, but neither is the undeniably catchy ear candy that EWTRTW and HOH are.

• Good call OP. Love this song. The video too. I remember staying up to watch Friday Night Videos on NBC (as a kid who never had cable TV) and this was one of my favorites, especially the guys dancing in front of gas station.

• OP ftw. I've always loved this song.
