    if i learn canon in d, i'll apparently learn a ton of other songs for free!

    redotted from x: Did you know that half of pop music is really the Canon in D thinly disguised. The end of this video medley is great.

    Quoted: A comedian rants about how much it sucks to play Pachelbel's Canon in D on a cello. Recorded live at Penn State, this piece by comedian/musician Rob Paravonian has been a favorite on the Dr. Demento

      my musically challenged wife just accidentally picked out this melody from a Bob Schneider song.

      At first she was like "Oh I love this song!" which was a surprise in itself - that she recognized a song. Then when the singing started she realized that it wasn't classical music playing. So we did some back and forth with some humming and stuff, and realized that she was thinking of the canon in d.

      I guess that chord progression is just very ingrained in western musical ears.
