A kids' album that has Rasputina on it?! Oh dear, I sense a purchase in my future ...
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
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.

Appeal to the hivemind:
Just watched an old episode of Scrubs, the one about the odds of someone dying in a hospital being one in three and all of their patients end up dying, and the end musical montage had a male singer who sounded a lot like Springsteen doing a song about dying. There is what seems to be a chorus of "Hallelujah" to the song. Is it Springsteen? Does anyone recognize it? I've tried Google with no love.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I don't watch Scrubs, but the song is probably one of the numerous covers of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," none of which have been done by the Boss. It could be Cohen, or Rufus Wainwright, or Jeff Buckley, or John Cale.
And upon further research, it's Cale. [link]

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I'm just amazed that connie has only til now managed to avoid one of the umpteenth million montages done to one of the versions of "Hallelujah"
I swear there was a period there that you couldn't swing a dead cat at your TV without hitting one.

Oh, is that the song you keep mentioning? I only watch House and Bones, and I guess they haven't used it yet--or I missed it.

Connie - Have you seen Shrek? Rufus Wainwright's version featured prominently.
(actually, until I just looked it up, I thought it was the John Cale version. Bad DJ!)

Huh, I could have sworn that SHREK DID use the John Cale version. I remember thinking how strange it was to hear a John Cale cover of a Leonard Cohen song in a kid's movie.

I did see Shrek but I have no memory of that song. I rarely pay attention to the actual songs of montages, but Hubby found the song interesting and asked me to track it down for him.
Well, no, "Holding Out For A Hero" in Shrek II made me very happy, but I'm proud of my unhip musical tastes.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Connie, just for you, I popped in my season 1 Scrubs discs. It's not the Rufus Wainwright version. It is also not Leonard Cohen or Jeff Buckley.
And the Scrubs soundtrack lists "Hallelujah" by John Cale, so there you go.
ETA: Huh. DX answered that question like twelve posts ago, didn't he? t sigh
