Kristen Wiig’s Parody of ‘Hallelujah’ Is Not Something You Want to Miss

You probably didn’t know that Leonard Cohen’s original “Hallelujah” was 80 verses long — even though the version know and love is significantly shorter. Many musicians, including Jeff Buckley, Rufus Wainwright and Willie Nelson, have covered the song. And yet, the only person who sang all 80 verses is …  Kristen Wiig (together with James Corden). Wiig gave us her best on Cordon’s “The Late, Late Show.” Of course, it wouldn’t be Wiig if she didn’t infuse some humor in there.

Watch what she does:
