A comedian rants about how much it sucks to play Pachelbel's Canon in D on a cello. Recorded live at Penn State, this piece by comedian/musician Rob Paravonian has been a favorite on the Dr. Demento Show.

  • As a cellist who occasionally plays weddings, it is my responsibility to count all the tramp stamps on the bridesmaids as they proceed slowly up the aisle to my endlessly-looped 8 freakkin' notes. I'm then required to give an accounting to the rest of the quartet, as they are too busy to look up from their endless, noodling prattle.

    Gawafullest piece of pseudo-music written in the past 300 years.

    Rob is my hero.

  • At my father's wedding about a month ago the organist played Canon in D and all I could think was "Suckitinsuckitinsuckitin if you're Anne Boelyn or Rin Tin Tin! Make a desperate move and then you're in! Ahhdadadada DAA dadaDA dedadadadada!"

    Pachelbel follows me too and I don't even play cello. =\

  • Listen to Kansas, Rob. I think the closest they ever come to the Pachelbel Canon chords are in "Nobody's Home."

  • Watch "Coolio - I'll C U When U Get There" and try not to laugh :-)

  • They are PED STATE!

  • One of my former music teachers was a cellist and she told us about this one time where she was asked to play with a bunch of awesome musicians and they were worried that she didn't have the music with her--until she pointed out that she played the same 8 notes the whole time.

  • 0:56 THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!

  • Pachabell, Pachabell, I'll see you in hell.

  • @carmelawashere actually, that all depends on how it's written. I've seen canon in D written all three ways.

  • u said it man! we did that in orchastra and i play cello, that part pissed me off!!!!!!!!!

  • LOL :D I was lucky to play the violin part, but I feel your pain! :D
