It was used on House. Last season, I think. Irritated me, because, yeah, living the cliche.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

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 haven't heard a lot of Rufus (saw him open for Roxy Music, though)
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.

Shrek's irresponsible cousin?
Sorry.
Good to know Frank & I aren't crazy.

Snerk.
Who's probably also a cousin.

Yes it is. I wouldn't be surprised if the removed line was the reason for the problem of using it on the soundtrack.

I just looked up the lyrics of Cohen's Hallelujah, and they are not the lyrics I heard. The song was about dying, and there was definitely the line "blood is not a victory" or something like. The lyrics I found are about singing before God. So I'm looking for something else, apparently.
edit: Ah hah! There are additional verses from somewhere. It's "love", not "blood". Hubby and I obviously have our ears tuned to a different vibe.
