| 1 | * "Tower of Song". It's not exactly a happy song, but nearly every verse has a gag in it. An especially hilarious moment is when Cohen drops his voice right to the bottom of his range on the second line of the couplet "Well I was born like this, I had no choice/I was born with the gift of a golden voice." |
| 2 | * When accepting a Juno Award (Canada's answer to the Grammys) for "Male Vocalist of the Year"... |
| 3 | --> "Only in Canada could somebody with a voice like mine win Vocalist of the Year." |
| 4 | * While it still has his typical dark edge, "Don't Go Home With Your Hard-On" (as might be guessed by the title) has a bite of acid humor. |
| 5 | * Early in his career, he was about to go onstage at a big rock festival and he had an attack of not so much stage fright as un-confidence. As he told it, he turned to his then-manager and said "What am I doing? This is ridiculous. I can't even sing." His manager replied [[BrutalHonesty "None of you guys can sing.]] [[DamnedByFaintPraise If I want to hear singing, I go to the opera."]] |
| 6 | * In a DeadpanSnarker sense, his response to Phil Spector holding him at gunpoint: |
| 7 | -->'''Spector:''' I love you, Leonard. |
| 8 | -->'''Cohen:''' I ''hope'' you love me, Phil. |
