Most of my favorite prophets and "priests" if you will sing their
material! One of my faves is a Gospel according to Mick! Even begins
with a nice choir opening:

My great-great grandmother on my mother's side married five (!) times.
One husband was an Irishman named Melvyn Kelly. Does that count?

What a great surprise for that couple's wedding.

For this purpose? Yes))) But you don't have to be Irish to enjoy that)

Wonderful Did you read the story? He is part of a group which sings for
charity. He says he likes to sing, but but not all the time and he prefers
being a priest best. I see they have also sung in USA

I did read the story. I wondered while listening maybe he'd missed his
calling, so to speak. Not really, but he's got a good voice.

The article said he had made records with the proceeds going to charity.
I've been trying to find them but haven't managed to I would buy them.

It was funnym, but several years ago my sister told me that the
minister where she and my father go to church in Sundays told his
"flock" about this wise theologian he's heard of that said "You can't
always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you
need!" And I was like, of course. The Gospel according to Mick! ;-)

Leonard Cohen wrote the original song and (according to an interview I
saw) is rather perplexed by its continued popularity. This is one of
those songs that gives me an earworm. I had to go listen to the
original version after Ophelia posted this fun version. The (original)
lyrics are rather strange. She tied you to a kitchen chair?

An aside, I think everyone should be allowed to sit down during most of
their wedding.

A lot of Cohen's lyrics are a bit strange, but I still listen to his
Live in London album frequently. One of my favorites is Dance Me To
The End of Love.

Hmmmm. To me it means sometimes after I hear a song it gets stuck in my
head. Cohen's 'Hallelujah' is one of those songs.

Listen to Halleluja done by K.D. Lang. It's amazing.

At least it's decent music! I once got the theme song from 'The Golden

I think k.d. lang is one of the greatest female singers of all time.
I guess Leonard prefers k.d.'s version too ;-)
She performed it at the induction of Leonard Cohen into the Canadian
Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2006.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYiMJ2bC65A
Cohen's partner, singer Anjani Thomas, said: "After hearing K.D. Lang
perform that song we looked at each other and said, 'well, I think we
can lay that song to rest now! It's really been done to its ultimate
blissful state of perfection'."

I didn't coin the phrase. Sheldon is talking about some sort of actual
worms. I'm talking about when you get a song stuck in your head. As if
you can hear it, over and over. That is known as an earworm.

Yeah, some are good, others drive you nuts. Like some stupid commercial

No - I don't think he meant that at all. He knew the term and I didn't, so it was just a good op to gimme da needle.

LOL! Having spent a bit of last night watching singing bird videos on
Youtube, my current earworm is [I left my heart in] "San Francisco".
Except it's not Tony Bennett I'm hearing, it's that damn parrot, Pancho.
