Oh goodness this is SO WEIRD. My friend Simon (who's Australian) knows these guys. He showed me a non-live version of the 4 Chord Song a couple of months ago. :D

Haha, that IS weird!

I love the Pachebel rant (if it's the one I'm thinking of, because I can't see it due to work cutting off youtube access).

[glass_icarus]

Probably it is? I haven't ever seen more than one (that I can recall, anyway).

[unavee]

Oh wow, those are both awesome :D

[glass_icarus]

:D

Hahahaha! I just laughed so hard :D There needs to be an epic mash-up of all 4-chord songs in existence. Nooo idea how this would work, but it would be AWESOME. :D

[glass_icarus]

LOL, I think such a mashup would take years off your life!

Just saw this the other day (and other parts of the Melbourne comedy gala) and laughed so hard at this one. They melded the songs beautifully!

[glass_icarus]
