I don't remember when I first heard Hallelujah. But I do remember that I was mesmerised from the first verse.


I definitely first heard John Cale’s version in Shrek.

Until today I thought it was Rufus Wainright’s version.

But for some reason the version in the film itself is Cale’s, and the version in the official soundtrack is Wainright’s!

I did. I really appreciated that. It definitely mirrors, in hyperbole, my own sense of shock and irritation!

It certainly says a lot that the Wainright version has 167,633,627 plays on Spotify, and Cale's has 3,823,629.
