I don't think those billion other people think the rest of the world counts as "virtually all".
How hot is that?
HOTTTTT!!!!!1!
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I finally head the John Cale version recently
I looked back, and I'm not sure if you're talking about Hallelujah , but if you are, I didn't like that version either. I just happened on one by kd lang, which I've yet to listen to properly, and I've tended towards collecting them.
I read on livejournal the other day how the original Cohen version and the Buckley version have different verses--apparently Buckley added some. And then, when Cohen recorded Hallelujah, he used Buckley's version. The ins and outs of this song get more fascinating the more I learn. And I just thought it was pretty when I first heard it.

It's my favorite. I just like Cale's delivery and the arrangement. This might be because it was the first one i heard, in the movie Basquiat.
And SA, I didn't know Buckley had added lyrics! Do yoou remember whose journal that was in?

Um. I can look. I should have flagged it, because at the time I thought it was really interesting.

I *love* the Ari Hest version that you put on one of the CDs that you sent me.

No big deal if you can't fiind it, SA. Thanks for checking.

He's a neat guy. That's pretty much a clear cover of the Buckley version, as is the Wainwright version, but I haven't encountered another style with such emotion.

Damn. I couldn't find the song title, so I extrapolated.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I know that a verse in the Buckley version isn't in the k.d. lang version, but I don't know if it was added or not. (It's the one with the line "Remember when I moved in you, and the holy dove was moving too, and every breath we drew was hallelujah". At least, I think that's how it goes.) I have several versions of this one too.
