The very first day I ever took my very first music theory class, on my very first day of college, our prof sat down at the piano, and plunked out Pachelbel's Canon. Why? Because, he said, Pachelbel's Canon was the Alphabet Song of music theory.

And then we learned the ever-infamous I-V-VI-III-IV-V-I chord progression, the first time I'd ever been introduced to chord progressions despite a lifetime of studying music. I was so impressed, hahaha, because I'd always hated Pachelbel's Canon, and now I had a legitimate reason to back up my instinctive dislike.

I laughed so very hard at this comedy routine. Utterly classic! Thank you for sharing!
