Song 'Hallelujah' in a West Wing episode

[MB]

This was a song played in one of the episodes somewhere in series 3 or 4 I
think...It was on another TV show here in Australia during the week and it
prompted me to ask if anyone in this group knew the artist and/or origin of
the track?

Cheers...

FWIW, I like one of the original recordings by Leonard Cohen better (I
believe he's done it more than once, but it may just be the same
recording anthologized differently).

There is also a beautiful version of this song by Rufus Wainwright. It was
featured in a first season episode of The L Word.

The Rufus Wainwright version is also featured in the movie Shrek.

Also a fine version -my favorite- by John Cale.

I believe that it's actually John Cale's version in the movie, although
Wainwright's is on the soundtrack album.

Either way the movie sucked.
