Songs & Hallelujah
http://www.clapclap.org/2007/04/hallelujah.html
So this is a really interesting article on the evolution of Leonard Cohen's song, "Hallelujah." I... am not sure what to say about this. It's not my usual reading or linking, but I find it fascinating all the same. Maybe it's because I have a soft spot for songs with a bit of irony and I'm wishing somebody would cover the original properly now, so that I could listen to it without being embarassed.
meganbmoore asked the other day what songs you see being misused for fanvids, but I'm curious: Can anyone think of any songs whose meaning, in your opinion, departs from their common usage?
