Hallelujah! We Couldn’t Agree More…

Over at NPR’s Monkey See blog, Marc Hirsch says what we’ve been thinking for quite some time now: Leave “Hallelujah” Alone.

Yes. Enough with the ukuleles already! Unless you can top Jeff Buckley’s version (and you can’t) just leave well enough alone.

Andy,
We’ll have to disagree on this one. John Cale’s version puts even Buckley’s to bed. And while I too have had enough the Jake hype, don’t dis the uke. It’s a lovely, lovely thing.
All this said, please, Dear God, leave “Hallelujah” alone. You really can’t add anything to it at this point.
Michael
