So I AM insane. Well, it's nice to finally be sure.
Thank you all.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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.

The Happy Mondays "Hallelujah" is a different song from the Leonard Cohen one, though.

I can't even.
Anything in the way of help would be greatly appreciated, as this is REALLY making me question my sanity. Well, more than usual. Erm, thanks.
A totally excellent Buffista de-lurkage, I have to say, with the insanity and all. I was on tenterhooks waiting to see what the hivemind could come up with, and I only have a passing acquaintance with the Pogues.

'Fraid not. In fact, I'm not entirely sure what that is. There are huge gaps in even my passing familiarity with pop culture (unusual upbringing, long story), which is one of the reasons I've shied away from posting here so far - you lot seem so damn up on, well, everything.

Is it really? In that case, it couldn't have been them because that was definitely Cohen's song I remember. And the more I think about it, the more I go back to feeling that it was MacGowan doing it. I mean, the bastard made me weep (he often does but that time it was special, particulary since it was the first time I'd seen/heard The Pogues)! My brain doesn't normally get confuzzled about things to which I have such a strong emotional reaction.
Grrrr!

See, rationally I can understand that The Pogues just aren't everyone's cup of tea. On a less rational level, however... What the hell's wrong with you??! (joking. Mostly)

Yes. The lyrics don't seem to be anywhere online, but it doesn't sound anything like the Cohen one. The Happy Mondays song is used to good effect in the film 24 Hour Party People.
(And most of us don't know everything, except for Hec and Jon, who use their powers for good. Me, I'm good from about 1982-1998, and a lot of everything before and after is mushy mush.)

I just stumbled upon a mention of the Happy Mondays' "Hallelujah" while looking for that elusive Pogues cover I remembered and glommed onto it as a possible explanation for why I couldn't find a trace of the latter. I've probably never even heard it - is it any good?

Well, that's still a lot more than I can say. I was pretty sketchy on who The Smiths were until a few years ago (I can almost hear the horrified gasps).

I won't gasp. I think I may have been the same way, and I'm sure I'm guilty of more grievous oversights.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Only as a group, Nara. It's more like, everybody's damn up on something.

Only if you take the gasps to mean "I'm not alone! I thought I was the only one! Sister!"
(it is sister, right?)
