Pachelbel's Canon also known as Canon in D major, or more formally, Canon and Gigue in D major for three Violins and Basso Continuo (Kanon und Gigue in D-Dur für drei Violinen und Basso Continuo) is the most famous piece of music by Johann Pachelbel. It was written in or around 1680, during the Baroque period, as a piece of chamber music for three violins and basso continuo, but has since been arranged for a wide variety of ensembles. The Canon was originally paired with a gigue in the same key, although this composition is rarely performed or recorded today. It is well known for its chord progression which has become one of the most used in popular music.
Still don't remember about what song we are talking about?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wpPk8qk3uQWhat's amazing about this piece of song (that's incredibly catching) is the number of different versions that has been made for very different instruments. I attach a tecno-like one that I found pretty good.
Want more? Check out this rock version by JerryC (that is, if you haven't listened to it already):
