Re: totally OT question

Actually, John Cale's was the version used in Shrek, according to this article:

http://www.clapclap.org/2007/04/hallelujah.html

The writer points out that Wainwright's version is almost identical to Cale's, and speculates that Cale was beginning to refuse use-permissions of his recording. so Wainwright was brought in as a "ringer".
