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.

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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
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.

Thrive to spite them
According to John Cale's Wikipedia entry his version was used in Sherk with the line "maybe there's a God above" edited out but Rufus Wainwright's version was used in the soundtrack.
