Driving from Bristol to Nottingham this evening, my iPod served up a couple of things.
On shuffle.
The first thing it served up was the entire playlist for the next podcast.
Seriously.
Six tracks, back to back.
And an amusing anecdote to follow the first track.
The second thing the iPod served up was The Pet Shop Boys ‘Go West’.
No, I have no idea how I have it either.
But I do.
Anyway.
I am unable to listen to ‘Go West’ without singing along to the melody of Pachelbel’s Canon.
Or vice versa.
No, really.
Try it for yourself.
But adjust for speed, obv.
Here’s ‘Go West’:
And here’s Pachelbel (and his Canon):
You’re welcome!
A remarkable similarity that implies blatant plagiarism.
Pachelbel should be sued for every Deutsche-Groat he’s got!
