    Help me settle a debate - is this a Mandela effect? So many people believe Leonard Cohen either wrote the song (he didn't, it was Alabama 3) or that he covered a version of the song. Many online sites report that he sang the song for the version used as the theme song of The Sopranos, Google Gemini says he did, but ChatGPT says he didn't. There are Youtube videos titled Leonard Cohen - Woke Up This Morning with a picture of him and there are ongoing debates in the comments about whether he ever sang it or not. What is going on here?? Why can't we get accurate information about this?

      Why can't we get accurate information about this?<

      Because the Internet has been broken by tech "innovation". But no, no he didn't.

        on the Sopranos wikipedia page it clearly says the theme song is by "Alamaba 3". Reading the article, it says:

        The show's opening theme is "Woke Up This Morning" (Chosen One Mix), written by, remixed and performed by British band Alabama 3.

        With no references of Cohen anywhere. So a good chunk of the internet is wrong. Thus why AI shows conflicting information too.

          He was a Buddhist who spent a good many years living in a monastery on Mt. Baldy. The Sopranos is exactly the kind of project he wouldn't be involved in.

            I mean, the Sopranos is all about people who hurt others for their own materialistic desires slowly losing everything, including their own lives. When it aired it just sort of had this problem among the American public:

            A doodle of a Gundam and a person. The person is saying “Wow!! Cool robot!!” while a message fired by the Gundam that says “war is bad” sails over their head.

                  That's weird, in She Hulk series, Wong is living in a kind of monastery on a mountain and watching The Sopranos there and dancing to the theme song (Woke Up This Morning) supposedly believed by many to be sung by Leonard Cohen. It does kind of sound like his voice.

                    Reminds me of how people saw Okja as a simple adventure movie and tried really hard to ignore the message it was conveying about animal rights (the creators even went vegan for the movie but we're not ready for that convo...)

                      Seems to be settled that he didn't cover it, but damn, I wish he had. Would love to hear that.
