From what I understand, he bought the entire rights to the song and I suppose came out OK in the end.

I read he maintained that he was copying Oh HAppy day--and actually I am inclined to believe him.
My Sweet Lord sounds a lot more like Oh Happy Day, than He's So Fine--but all three have some overlap.

It was just a cool demonstration of that common chord progression we all know so well.

I found it annoying to keep hearing the same part of Don't Stop Believing play over & over again.
I did also say that I realized there was a joke to the video.
At least in the Pachelbel video it's a guy on a guitar so each time he plays it there are some differences, plus some explanation in between some--and humour.
The reason I didn't watch the whole Don't Stop Believing one was that chord progression repeating over & over. The actual song does have other parts to it. SO do the songs I heard on the video.
