The Real Leonard Cohen

You know in all the media kerfuffle about what was, to be fair, not one of the miserable Canadian's best tunes but the one everyone knows because it was in Schrek when Dragon and Donkey rediscovered each other and some talentles twatess sung it in a talent contest you could have overlooked that said miserable Canadian actually was a pretty grumpy dragon in his day.

For me this is his finest hour. I really hope what is in those suitcases is very, very nasty.

Dragon, you're right! People look at me funny when I say 'hallelujah' is not one of his best (most of them reel off the fucking annoying 'music to slit your wrist by' line... grrrrr)
Truth be told, the man has produced whole albums that are better than that song - which is not to suggest that it's a bad song - but to have it murdered on prime-time tv is annoying.
On the positive side, I guess it will go some way to rebuilding Lenny's pension fund.
