As long as it isn’t Leonard Cohen himself singing it :)
I heard that once and it traumatized me for life :) Never again. Fabulous songwriter, lousy singer.
But it’s a great song. It just sticks in your brain. A similar song like that for me is “Bird on a Wire”. Johnny Cash did a wonderful cover of it. Check it out on YT.

I know exactly what you mean. I got on a similar jag with this song a few years ago and spent hours on YouTube tracking down every version I could find.
The one I liked best was on the soundtrack recording for Shrek. I thought it was Jeff Buckley but it turned out to be Rufus Wainwright.
