songs aren't written, they're rewritten

Self-pimpage" I am doing my Project 365 here.

And now, I bring you two brilliant pieces of YouTubage.


Pachelbel Rant. God, I hate that song. Ever tried playing 1st trumpet for Canon in D in a brass quintet? NOT FUN. Well, this guy played the cello part for the string quartet arrangement, which means he got stuck with the stupid same 8 notes repeated 54 times, and then shows us how the damn 8 notes have wormed their way into modern pop.


A variation on a theme, an Aussie shows us just how many songs are constructed on the same four chords. No, really.
