How about "Mad World" by Tears for Fears.



My reasons.

1. The combination of fingerless gloves with long black coats and poofy hair.
2. The lyrics combined with the music kind of give a nice, mad spin to the entire song..but then it is called Mad World.
3. The bizarre dancing done outside. 99 percent of people who attempted to do that dance probably just looked odd..or mad.
4. Since a cover was made of this song that gave an allto depressing spin on it..and that one is much more remembered than the original.

and Dancing with Tears in my eyes by Ultravox. Since fear of nuclear war was a big topic back then and this is a great response to it.
