Okay, fine, Leonard Cohen. (Also covered by Joseph Arthur, and now by Imogen Heap. And Rufus, and John Cale…) :roll:

I think it's a pretty well known fact that Buckley's rendition is the best ever…

And Tee wasn't necessarily saying it was a Jeff Buckley song. There are other covers posted above.

Uh, yeah, it's a fact. Though that conflicts with the fact that Cohen's original was the best. ;)

I wasn't implying that she specifcally was saying that it was a Buckley song. I've just seen it done at least a couple of times in the past.

does the saying "more cowbell" mean anything to you?

Perhaps the next variation on your moniker should be "Charles Windsor, self-pitying individual."
