A Musical Interlude for Sunday
I was at a Bill Bailey show* yesterday and there was a skit about how many songs use the exact same chord progression. Today I listen to this tune and think "bloody hell, he's right", and he wasn't even talking about the chords in every rock and roll song ever.**
*Quite good as it turns out. He doesn't put out tunes as catchy as he used to, .i.e. Insect Nation, but there was a hilarious bit involving a Bizet aria and bad subtitles.
**It was Pachelbel's canon, if you're interested.
As an aside, does anyone know if his lockdown show was ever released on DVD/streaming? I've searched far and wide but can't even find the name of the show. There was a hilarious part towards the end about heavy metal fans answering the doorbell.

Pachelbel's canon and Green Day's Basket Case, by any chance?

Perhaps you're thinking of "Bill Bailey's Bunker Blog", although that was years before lockdown.
During lockdown, I think he was pretty busy with Strictly Come Dancing, and then writing En Route To Normal.

No, it was a live show held outdoors just outside Gosforth.
I was there.
