I think it'd be funny to put out an album and call it "The Pachelbel Connection" where there's that subtle/not-so-subtle Pachelbel connection to all the songs...like there is in that video.

i love how he sings the first line of each song, and then finishes it with the second half of the Pachebels Canon melody

To be fair, he did make up several of them. Certain major key melodic patterns can be superimposed on top of most major key songs regardless of what the song actually is. For example Pachabel's thing, the 1-4-5-4 chord progression, and the lead guitar part from "Today" by the Smashing Pumpkins.

What we need to do is track down all of these common patterns and superimpose them on top of every pop-song ever. It will be the greatest compilation album evar!

[Obi-Wan zenabI]

by blues traveller is another one. good song, though.

I find this depressingly true: most top-10 songs have one of 3 or 4 chord structures.

That's why I vowed that I wouldn't write that crap... very often. I've written exactly one song, I believe, that is a 1564. That's what I call then: 1645s. Or in the relative minor, they're 6415s. Either way. And there's another common variant which is a 1645.

So I wrote exactly one... more to be a smart@$$ than anything else. The lyrics in the bridge are:

So open up a chorus,
sing it loud and clear.
Sing as if you just don't care if anybody hears,
then play a little louder...
'til the neighbors hold their ears....

Of course, the bridge chords are not 1564 chords.... In the key of G:

Amin7 Bmin7
F C (C/B)
Amin7 Bmin7 CMaj7 Bmin
Amin7 Bmin7
CMaj Dsus4

Then to a C major for the chorus, which is C G D Emin, C G D G, C G D Emin, F C/E Dsus4 D, C G/B Amin7 G. You get the idea.

*sigh* I definitely had too much free time back then. Oh, to have that much free time again.
