What Classical Melody Is Being Used In This (1993) Pop Song?

Go West,” by the Pet Shop Boys, who were themselves re-doing a Village People song from two decades earlier.

The melody may also be familiar to people who worship at churches that utilize contemporary praise & worship. The song, “Give Thanks With a Grateful Heart,” which I remember singing with a, uh, thankful attitude, back in my days when I was an evangelical Christian (they’re long gone). I can assure you that whoever wrote that bit was most certainly not inspired by the Village People.

According to this source, I think you’re referring to Canon in D Major by Johann Pachelbel.
