 The first breakthrough record and Smith’s biggest hit to date was a track entitled "Donnie’s Lament", better known as the "Mad World Remix" due to its extensive sampling of that year's Christmas number one "Mad World", performed by Gary Jules, originally by Tears for Fears.Its sample led to legal issues with the label Sanctuary, who did not sanction the remix, despite Smith's appeal to them.Smith was therefore unable to recoup any money despite the popularity of his version.
