I know it was in Shrek, but I don't know why anyone would pretend Rufus didn't have the best version of that song...


Buckley has the 2nd best...

Rufus Wainwright's version was on the soundtrack, but I think (I'm not 100% sure) that John Cale's version was in the movie. Cale's is also my favourite version of the song.

Dude, Trent Reznor even admitted this version was superior. He now calls Hurt "The song that is no longer his."

Yeah, I just didn't feel like being hated on by the NIN fans. You know how it can get.
