One of the most beautiful versions of the song was sung by the "Canadian Tenors" who were on Oprah earlier this week. They were surprised by Celine Dion who joined them.

OK, I Googled the question, and found out the song had been used on "House". I thought that was the one show on which it would be used to good effect, I just can't remember which episode it was. ;o)
I also found out that Leonard Cohen had ultimately written at least fifteen verses to the song, and when John Cale asked for the lyrics, that's what he got. He pared it down to the ones he uses in his version of the song, and most folks now use Cale's version, including Cohen, himself!

Cale really has a decent ear, he studied with Leonard Bernstein.
He strips things down a bit because he knows his own musical limitations.

Loved the Canadian Tenors, but frankly, I’ve never cared much for Celine Dion. She’s one of those singers who, like Mariah Carey, does that warbly thing that I just can’t stand.

Is John Cale related to J.J. Cale?

Nevermind, I shoulda just gone to Wikipedia. ;o) J.J. Cale was given that nickname by a nightclub owner. His name is John Weldon Cale, so the club owner called him J.J., so folks wouldn’t confuse him with John Cale, of the Velvet Underground.

"...Earlier in the ceremonies top Canadian pop stars Nelly Furtado and Bryan Adams..."
Okay give them credit. At least they didn't call them rock stars. Nelly Furtado is a joke. Has Canada ever produced a real rock star outside of Robby Robertson. And please don't say Neil Young, another pretender. It's strange that the US & UK produce rock stars glore but Canada with essentially the same DNA doesn't do anything or next to nothing. Hell, Australia does better than Canada. Always look to Canada for mediocre talent. Stick to POP stars Canada and leave rock to the adults.

I’ve heard it on House. I think it was the episode when Cameron left Chase.
