Johann Pachelbel was a musical composer in the late 1600’s.
He is best known for his Canon in D.
The chord progression of the canon (“I V vi iii IV I IV V”) is one of the most common in many popular songs produced since.
Comedian Rob Paravonian’s rant about Pachelbel is humourous and educational when in comes to understanding the deju vu syndrome of hit music and how we can look to the long deceased composer as a true patron of the parallels.
