The Leonard Cohen song "Hallelujah" has been around since 1984, but reached global notoriety when it was featured in the 2001 film Shrek. It's been used in quite a few films since then. The tune is beautiful, and the lyrics are somewhat of an an enigma, mixing biblical and sexual themes. Besides, there are many versions of those lyrics, as Cohen took five years to write them.
But Dustin Ballard, also known as There I Ruined It (previously at Neatorama), took away all the ambiguity of Cohen's song by just substituting the lyrics of "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot. Poetry is poetry, after all, and in this mashup, there's no question of what the song is about. As you might imagine, commenters are now asking for the lyrics of "Hallelujah" be mixed to the music of "Baby Got Back."
There I Ruined It isn't just Dustin Ballard anymore. The vocals on this song are by Matt Bull, and the entire group does live shows in Texas.

Hallelujah is one of the worst songs in the world. A dreary dirge that seems to go on forever.

Anyone who has followed Neatorama for a long time. It's Alex's favorite song.
