Suzanne: part II

Alanna's post was so good that I have to keep it going a little longer.  For anybody out there who hasn't heard Leonard Cohen's Suzanne (which is the original)... it's not to be missed. From Cohen's first album:
Leonard Cohen - Suzanne (1967: Songs of Leonard Cohen)

Another great cover of this song comes from French pop star Françoise Hardy... she did a version in English too but you know the words by now:
Françoise Hardy - Suzanne (1968: Comment te dire adieu?)

While we're on the subject, Leonard Cohen wasn't the only person to write a great song called Suzanne... Hope Sandoval did too:
Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions - Suzanne (2001: Bavarian Fruit Bread)

And lastly, to cleanse your palette, here's one by Weezer... from the Blue Album era! Slightly different spelling:
Weezer - Susanne (1994: Dusty Gems and Raw Nuggets)
