Here’s a complete history of the Leonard Cohen song, “Hellelujah.” It comes complete with sound clips tracking the progression of the song and its popularity as a cover ditty, right up to and including the recent cover of it by The Fall Out Boys that sounds pretty heinous.

I cop to being completely out of touch with the kids these days.
Wow. I can’t believe someone has taken that much time out of their lives to document this. Wow.
But it’s a great song. What an odd quirk of fate that L. Cohen is better with someone else on vocals.
