Would be happy if I never heard another cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Especially not by a John Farnham loving opera singer.

Es gewittert, es gießt in Strömen und Leonard Cohen singt Hallelujah. Es ist toll.

I just bought Leonard Cohen's 1984 classic Various Positions, and it's a pretty sick album...even if "Hallelujah" has been played out.
