It's one of those nights, where the Muse saw something on Youtube... follow me below the dingledoodlesquiggliedividerthingie fold...
I was chatting w a friend of mine and somehow the subject of Pachelbel's Canon came up. Yeah, I know... but you already knew I get into weird conversations. Anyhow...
Pretty much everyone has done a version or variation of it, from the Boston Pops to the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet. Almost anyone who ever listened to "New Age" music has George Winston's version.
I searched to see if I could find an interesting version, and the first link in my search was not exactly what I expected. However, it had the word rant in it, and wondering if Hunter played cello, I clicked. And immediately started laughing. Then I giggled. Then I sent the link to my friend, who immediately responded "I have to forward that to my daughter. She played cello." K1 wandered down, and I had her watch it. She plays the viola, and giggled her way through it.
And so, gentle TC Reader, I present to you "Pachelbel's Rant" by Rob Paravonian:
My apologies for the earworm. Perhaps some comments and mojo will help...

Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
From Samer:
LeftHandedMan explains, in a diary-worthy comment, why Movement Conservatism should fear Herman Cain.
From Thinking Fella:
Here's a top comment for ya, from JoeBob. It's from kos's diary about that bastard Limbaugh.
From*Dragon5616*:
xrepub summarizes the 53% in this comment in Hunter's outstanding post Occupy Wall Street: the banks, the government and the 'mob'.
From Yours Truly, brillig:
In Adam B's diary Updated: Anti-Gay Petition Signers AGAIN Lose Bid To Hide Their Names, angry marmot highlights just how tough they've got it.
It's not quite Verb my FUCKING Noun, Kos, but cardinal distills Republican humor.
