It's what musicians call a canon: multiple parts or voices (3 in this case) playing the same music but starting at different times. A round like "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" is a special kind of canon in which each voice starts over when it gets to the end, so that the piece goes on and on till you decide to stop. A regular canon has each voice running through the music just once.
The music of a canon has to be composed so that its different sections sound well together when played simultaneously by the various voices. That's why all the phrases in Pachelbel's Canon in D Major are the same length and have the same harmony. The accompaniment plays its harmonic underpinning over and over, while the upper voices play the melody, staggered by the length of a phrase. If we represent the phrases of the Canon in D Major by the letters A B C D etc., then we can represent what the three upper parts are up to this way:
1. A.... B.... C.... D.... E.... F.... G.... etc.
2. ...... A.... B.... C.... D.... E.... F.... etc.
3. ............. A.... B.... C.... D.... E.... etc
(Ignore the dots. They're just there to keep the letters spaced correctly on this page.)
Canon in D is Pachelbel's most famous composition. It was composed in early 1600's. It is paired with a gigue in the same key.
The keyboard serves the accompaniment for the three violins. It is recurring chords of D A b f# G D G and A. You can download the arrangement for solo keyboard for free at sheet music sites such as IMSLP or Free-Scores.
Duke johann Ernest and prince cöthen or something like that
Pachelbel wrote Cannon in D around 1680, while working at the Predigerkirche in Erfurt, Germany. It was written in or around 1680, during the baroque period, as a piece of chamber music for three violins and basso continuo, but has since been arranged for a wide variety of ensembles.

The Canon in D of Pachelbel stands alone in its own rite. It is used for as music for weddings frequently in modern times. A "song" that used this piece as part of its own would serve no purpose as there can only be one Canon in D. It either is or isn't, can't be both.

Iowa Public Radio has a great resource for pronunciation of Western classical music names and terms; they give the following...
Johann Pachelbel : YO-hahn pah-KELL-b'l
...which certainly seems like the correct German pronunciation, but they note that in the United States you will frequently hear an Americanized version,
YO-hahn PAH-k'l-bell
which I guess reflects our tendency to shift the emphasis to the first syllable. You might get some funny looks in the U.S. if you use the full German pronunciation.
