OK...I have to comment 1) that made me pee my pants 2) We make fun of that song at school all the time 3) i have to be a total geek and explain the theory behind it.
Pachebels canon is based on a technique called sequencing. You might have heard of the circle of fifths before. Well, that bass line is called a decending fifths pattern and is common in all forms of music. Basically, Pachebel isnt a musical genius, he just ran out of ideas and used the simplest thing possible and some how made this hit. Think of the canon as the pet rock of music.
hope you are well. Merry Christmas and all that jazz :)
