I've known for, like, 20 years that Chevy Chase's real first name is Cornelius, and have watched Community for three years.

Except his version was a quite slow instrumental, and even though it topped the Billboard chart, you rarely hear it anymore.   This is the version that's probably better known today (thanks, "Anchorman" trailer!)

It was great to hear the whole crowd sing "Wonderwall", but I think we can all agree that "Waterloo Sunset" and "Running Up That Hill" were the true highlights of the Closing Ceremony.
