'Objects In Space'
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 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]
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.
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
The hivemind is very kind and effective. Thank you.

Me too! I wonder if they used Rufus on the CD soundtrack because of licensing issues with the JC version? Unless Rufus just sounds a lot like John Cale?

That's what I was just wondering. I wonder why they'd let it be on the DVD, though (which is how I saw the movie). Or maybe the Rufus track was substituted because that version had become popular?

I haven't heard a lot of Rufus (saw him open for Roxy Music, though), but I don't think he does. I mean, as someone who owns several of his 70s albums and saw him do a solo show once I thought it sounded unmistakeably like John Cale.
