After watching a song on American Idol that got a standing ovation from the judge Simon Cowell, and also hearing the song that sounded kind of familiar, got me checking it out on the web. I couldn’t view any of the original videos in youtube because they are blocked for my country (bad youtube! What has Sri Lanka ever done to you?).
Anyway, I managed to fish them out through other sites or fan uploads in youtube: The song is called "Mad World" turns out the song was featured on an award winning ad for Gears of War and on the sound track of cult movie Danny Darko.
The version on Gears of War is also a remake (by Gary Jules), and to me sounded a little better than the version on Idol - which got me curious about the “real” original. After some fishing around, I managed to dig up the original, and was a bit disappointed. To me it sounded like it was sung to the tune of tapping trash cans with beer bottles :D.
