'It's not a hymn!' Puzzled Jewish Leonard Cohen fans hit up social media to ask why Hallelujah was performed at Biden's national COVID-19 memorial when it's loaded with sexual lyrics
- Gospel singer Yolanda Adams sang two verses of Leonard Cohen's classic hit 'Hallelujah' at Tuesday's COVID-19 memorial
- The somber song has become a popular choice to sing at memorial and funeral services since its release in 1984
- But it's not a funeral dirge - it's lyrics are actually sexual, amused Jewish people posted on Twitter after hearing it performed - again - at a sad memorial
- While the lyrics do make biblical references to King David, they actually refer to his adulterous and sinful relationship with Bathsheba
NOTICE
The eagle-eyed amongst you will have also noticed that the Gonzo Multimedia websites have changed and are in a process of flux, so there are no individual sales links at the moment. But check out www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk for a thing of wonder.
There is a hunky-dory, all singing, all dancing, Gonzo Publications website is now pretty well done, although there arve still nine authors who need personal pages. You can find it at www.gonzopublishers.com and then tell me what a clever fellow I am. It even has a haiku to explain why some links are not finished:
"These links do not work,
now but they will do so soon,
we apologise"
Enjoy
