Think you've heard Pachelbel's Canon in D? Think again.

You didn't even include the Pachelbel Rant to numb the pain? For shame!

That's cheating, they added a drum track.

Seriously though this could be a real shot in the arm for Pachelbel's career. I mean look at what duetting with Run DMC did for Aerosmith.

Hmm.

Thought this was going to be Brian Eno's fantastic "Three Variations on the Canon in D Major by Johann Pachelbel."

I was disappointed.

Try that shit with Mahler and he'll bust caps.

Sounds like the Intro to "Pulp Shakespeare".

I much prefer Delinquent Habits on Grieg.

Well, just when you thought that overused, overwrought, overplayed classic couldn't possibly get any worse...

And if you download it, you can play it at your wedding reception and shout along with Rich Boy, “I got some peanut butter ice cream!”

Well I'll be shouting along with the 'muthafucka' and 'niggas' bits, which I'm sure will go down well at any wedding reception.

Every time a hiphop dj/producer lays down a beat to Pachelbel's Canon and has an MC drop some rhymes on it, he thinks it's the illest, dopest, most original shit ever.

Every time.

"...or at least not Tom Waits."

Well, there go my plans on walking down the aisle to "Filipino Box Spring Hog."
