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.
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.
I remember thinking how strange it was to hear a John Cale cover of a Leonard Cohen song in a kid's movie.
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.
It was used on House. Last season, I think. Irritated me, because, yeah, living the cliche.

Me too! I saw this show at the Merriwether Post Pavilion in Maryland.
I am well familiar with "Hallelujah" but I don't remember it being in Shrek. Of course, I kinda hated the movie so I may be blocking. I hope Cohen gets royalties - he could probably live on just the royalties from that song.
I definitely remember "Hallelujah" from Shrek, but I thought the movie actually used the Jeff Buckley version...? I do remember reading that the Rufus Wainwright cover, which wasn't the version used in the movie, was put on the soundtrack album due to licensing issues.
The Buckley's a guitar version. The Wainwright is a piano version, which was the big difference in my head.

Heh, maybe the movie used Jeff, the DVD used John and the soundtrack used Rufus.
