Ahem

Hallelujah is a Leonard Cohen original.

That was my point. Buckley’s version was not the original, but it is the most popular, and considered by many to be the definitive version. Same goes for Nirvana’s “Lake of Fire” and Led Zep’s “When the Levee Breaks.”

(btw, I like Cohen and think the original “Hallelujah” was great, maybe even better than Buckley’s. It’s hard to deny that Buckley’s is the most well-known, though.)
