The song Maiden Wine was featured in the Star Trek episode, Platos Stepchildren. It is the song sung by Spock while he was being manipulated by the Platonians in 2268 (hence the serenade from the laughing spaceman, as originally named).
Leonard Nimoy wrote three sections, only the first and last were used in the Star Trek episode:
Take care, young ladies, and value your wine.
Be watchful of young men in their velvet prime.
Deeply theyll swallow from your finest kegs,
Then swiftly be gone, leaving bitter dregs.
Ahh-ah-ah-ah, bitter dregs.
Your time hold precious, for youth is your gold.
Your beauty, like silver, will tarnish when old.
Memories and dreams shall comfort you not.
When the flow of your sweetness is gone and forgot.
Ahh-ah-ah-ah, gone and forgot.
With smiling words and tender touch,
Man offers little and asks for so much.
He loves in the breathless excitement of night,
Then leaves with your treasure in cold morning light.
Ahh-ah-ah-ah, in cold morning light.")

Mad World is a 1982 song by the British band Tears for Fears. Written by Roland Orzabal and sung by bassist Curt Smith, it was the bands third single release and first chart hit, reaching number 3 on the UK Singles Chart in November 1982. Both Mad World and its B-side, Ideas as Opiates, appeared on the bands debut LP The Hurting (1983).
Mad World achieved a second round of success 20 years after its release, when it was covered by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the film Donnie Darko (2001). While the Tears for Fears version featured synthesizers and heavy percussion, the Andrews/Jules
version was stripped down; instead of a full musical backing, it used only a set of piano chords, a mellotron imitating a cello, very light touches of electric piano, and modest use of a vocoder on the chorus.
Their version was originally released on CD in 2002 on the films soundtrack, but an increasing cult-following spawned by the films DVD release finally prompted Jules and Andrews to issue the song as a proper single. It was released through Sanctuary Records on 15 December 2003, in time for the race for the UKs Christmas number one, beating Christmas Time (Dont Let the Bells End) by The Darkness to take the title the following week.")
