IMO, this man is taking a slightly different spin on this sift, but in a much funnier and more interesting way.

Judge for yourself.

Fan-foogoo-tastic. I am sending that to a number of my classical music friends.

I have high hopes for this sift, swampgirl.

As I cellist, I can back him up. I think the score gives us two measures of the notes, and then has a repeat sign for, like, the rest of the thing. I'd get so bored that I'd make up my own harmonies which, come to think of it, was my first experience in playing by ear. So thanks Pachelbel for boring me.

I played cello in 4th and 5th grades (got to middle school and the horrible teacher turned me off of playing music for the rest of my life) and I remember always liking Pachelbell's Canon quite a bit. That it was repetitive didn't really bother me because pretty much all beginning cello parts are obscenely repetitive.

Not to rain on the parade, but can someone explain to me why this video is so popular? I found it somewhat entertaining, but not that particularly entertaining to be #1...

Pallen, I would say something about the universality of appeal of this video, something about the Canon in D holding a special place in our society despite its age and classical nature, something about the relevance of such a classic, traditional piece in our modern day and age filled with formulaic, factory-line-assembled pop bands, something about laughter and music being universal languages and their ability to reach out to many people from many cultures and backgrounds...

but then I decided the video and votes could speak for themselves.

130 votes in less than 5 days. That has to be some kind of Sift record.

This is youtubes featured video of the day today. I can't help but think it's because they are checking out the sift for the quality stuff that may or may not be in their databases.

And it's already in the all-time top 10. Could this be a contender to unseat you-know-who?

^----- My sentiments, exactly. F**k your ukelele, Pachelbel for the PEOPLE!!! Onwards, comrades, onwards and upvotes!

There is no way Jake is going down. He's like the Dark Sith of the Sift. This just has only 1/4 the votes he possess, he pisses down on Pachelbel (and my Segovia sift) from astronomical heights currently...

I honestly feel like that sift reveals what I would say is a flaw in the VS voting process. I mean honestly, it's good, but that many votes? ...

Haha, I was referring to Jake in my above post, not Pachelbel. Thus the "that", as opposed to "this".

For those of you who were confused, UPVOTE THIS SIFT!!! PACHELBEL APPROVES THIS MESSAGE!!!*






*Pachelbel (as well as his immediate family and estate) in no way approves or in any way endorses this message.

rembar, I wasn't saying that this was a -bad- video. In fact, I'll even say it's a good video. But it's not hands-down the best video I've ever seen on Videosift ever, which is what that overwhelming number of votes suggest it should be.

I guess I missed the novelty of all the points on which other people were impressed. Namely, that Canon in D is a recognizable song, that band geeks have all their own inside jokes that no one else finds funny, and that pop music is incredibly unoriginal and repetitive and thus an especially easy target of criticism.

That said, I guess I'll go ahead and join the bandwagon and upvote this. As I said, it's a decent video.

Hey Pallen, no biggee. I was just joshing ya about the votes, VS suffers somewhat from the same effect pop music does - the more popular a particular sift is, the more popular it will become.

In any case, don't worry about what I think. Your vote is your own to cast or not.

It was a joke, WolfDemon. There's a habit among Youtubers to yell "fake!" whenever they see a video that shows something they don't believe could happen. It's terribly annoying. (Well, lots of things Youtubers say are annoying, but this is an obvious one.)

Unfortunate that I never put this one the sift... you get so used to seeing things here first that you don't realize when something hasn't been posted to the sift that you've seen quite a while ago and is actually quite awesome.

Good for you, rembar.
