No quiero Pachelbel

One day in 1680, Pachelbel composed the super mega hit called Canon in D. Today, Phobos realized that Ratatat's Tacobel Canon was based on the theme of Pachelbel's canon. After a few minutes in google, it turns out that everybody and their mothers have used this theme. It is a very popular melody for many pop songs.

Don't believe? Check out the following video of a guy describing the torture that he has suffered since he recognize how this baroque song was all over the radio.



Here is a list of popular songs based on Canon in D.
