Hallelujah - Dan Haythorn (with Rich H), Frankstock 2006

[tootiredfilms]

I think Bill Bailey would be proud.

[squizznut]

a work colleague is a big lc fan and absolutely hates this cover...

ive played it about 12 times already today!!! ha ha ha

[soccerguy130]

SHREKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[Eagleray99]

Chas & Dave do LC....awful, even to someone like me who does have a sense of humour!

[afleececooper]

Much better than some of those self-aggrandising covers out there, I suspect Leonard, having the cheeky sense of humour that he does, would appreciate this :)

[dananddanfilms]

We like to think so.

Glad you like it.

But we kind of hope you gave it one star nevertheless.

[afleececooper]

T'is the very genius of cockney... ol' Bill Bailey would be proud of you :)

[kungfucolin]

Legendary - I discovered a little nook you were hiding out in :)

Dan for the win ^_^

[dananddanfilms]

shhh... don't tell anyone... ;)

[kungfucolin]

It will be our little secret then, eh? ^^

[dananddanfilms]

Yes uncle.

[JonathanPhillips]

Hey everybody, guess who prefers this version to the original.

(I'll give you a hint. Naw, I won't, it's me)

[dananddanfilms]

Thankyou Mr Phillips, I'm glad you like our take on it. I feel it has more soul and nuance than any of the other versions. Cohen himself admits he couldn't do it better, actually.

[stoph2]

is it supposed to be cockney music?  Woah! knees up mother brown!

[danhaythorn]

No, this is a genuine and heartfelt interpretation of the music. Cockney? Hah! I'm trying not to be offended.

On the plus side, your favorites contain Focus by Hocus Pocus, which is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written.

[stoph2]

Well I know all about cockney music lol it does seem to have that root down a fourth bass thing in the left hand (as i remember.... speakers broken now)

[CowInParachute]

This is brilliant.

[Nibblhans]

Oh Gott...sone bescheuerte Scheiße sollte verboten werden! Wie kann man sonen geilen SOng so kaputtmachen?! Wenn man nix soll mans einfach lassen!

[danhaythorn]

Thanks man. (I'm hoping that was full of praise).

[cmessier51]

it's just... wrong

[Skateh20]

Better than Jeff Buckley? Ha! This is complete and utter garbage. its like i died and went to hell!

[tootiredfilms]

@Skateh20 It's a joke.



[frontmanmike]

this is fucking terrible, you should be ashamed of yourselves, especially comparing this version to Jeff Buckley .. this is not a bluegrass song. What in hell were you thinking?

[danhaythorn]

I wouldn't call this style bluegrass, it's more 'cockney knees-up'. But bluegrass... hmmm, you're giving us ideas...

[tootiredfilms]

@frontmanmike It's a joke!

[Edmondo1337]

This is quite insulting to the beauty of the real song

[SGspoonmanCC67]

wtf is this?

[GutoDafydd]

I know I should hate this but I actually like what you've done with it.

Powerful song though.

[dadillon]

OK BUT NOT BETTER

[domtravers]

Haha brilliant, you guys are actually good despite the fact that ur taking the piss..have you got any serious stuff?

[Tournesol1982]

absolutely horrifying if you love the original (or the many other beautiful versions) and take this seriously. Although I do love em, I take this for what it is: very funny

[kokeshi]

you...you cockney bastards what have you done?

[danhaythorn]

Button up kokeshi, or Nick Drake gets it...
