Undoubtedly it had to be about Pachelbel's most famous work, Canon in D. I loved that piece and knew a host of others who did as well, so I was curious as to why someone would want to rant about such a lovely tune!
I haven't laughed that hard in MONTHS. This dude was hilarious! He was a cellist in high school who had the unfortunate experience of playing this piece. You'll have to watch the video to find out why it was called such. By the end of the video, all I had was a name that I could barely read through my tears: Rob Paravonian.
Over the course of the next year, I'd occasionally look up this hilarious comedian to see if he had any new videos posted. Every video I saw, I was crying. This guy RULED! So one day, I thought I'd actually check his website to see what all was new. I Checked his schedule and I saw it:
Sept. 6 - University of Illinois at Springfield
Price: Free (?!?!?!?!)
Oh yeah, the legend was coming to MY campus and it wasn't going to cost me a dime!! Unfortunately it wasn't publicized well, as I surely expected a comedian of this magnitude to pack the Brookens Auditorium on campus.
So there he was at about 9:30 standing up on the stage, dishing out jokes from the ridiculousness of strobe lights on school buses to Justin Timberlake's "manly" voice. Later, he busted out his guitar and played us several hilarious songs about being politically correct during a breakup, the stupidity of lyrics in famous songs and without fail... the Pachelbel Rant.
I laughed incredibly hard over the next hour and a half, but I think others laughed MUCH harder.
Rob playin' a funny tune.
Me with the legend himself!
