In 1994, I noticed that Blues Traveller's "Hook" was the single most blatant rip-off of Pachelbel's Canon in D Major ever written. I told a co-worker... he didn't believe me, even when I played both songs one after the other.

I've read Lynn of A Sweet Familiar Dissonance lamenting that no one knows where "Christmas Canon" comes from.

I've seen the Taco Bell Canon video.

So, yeah, I know what Rob Paravonian is talking about when he says that you're not being paranoid if you think Pachelbel's following you.

Watch the video.

Know the truth.

You're being followed...

1 Never being a Blues Traveler fan, I never noticed. Now I'm going to have to find a recording of it, to listen for myself. That video clip was hilarious, Mainly because I do like that song.

2 Wait! People don't know where Christmas Canon came from? I also know where that guy in the video is coming from. I played Upright Bass in Orchestra, so I got to play those eight notes. Of course, I was a lazy kid who didn't like to practice, so I thought it was the greatest song ever
