I don't think nuns would work singing this song in this manner. Maybe we could find ladies who are somewhere in between the extremes of pious nuns on one hand and the 'hot blondes' on the other?
I'm thinking of Gloria.tv's own Doina and Lucia.

@Jethro: Thank you for making my point. The pop version does allow one to say that the female singers "are hot". On the other hand, I would not say about any nuns singing the spiritual original: "Them broads is hot, man!". Why? The sanctity of the spirituality of the original does not permit such language. Your language, proper to the "hot blondes", is understandable and correct given the situation. Why? Because the "hot blondes" are not seeking to capture and express the Holy. There is a difference between the profane world and its joys and the spiritual world and its JOY.
This brings me to the pope's megamass in Rio with swaying and rocking singers, some of which "broads were jazzin't up, daddy-ooo". With such popular expression I am trying to bring to awareness the impression that the mass in Rio made upon me at certain parts. The Hosts given out in plastic cups seem to be a perfect means (compared with Boroque gold chalices) to get down and rap with the "common folk" in their languo, which seems to be the intent of the current pope. I have trouble with such liturgy. To put it in common folk terms: It does not turn me on!

It's different for a change. I like it and the blondes are hot.

Here we have an entertaining kumbaya version of Pachelbel's Canon in D Major. The original version is formed such that it can illicit profound, spiritual and even religious feelings. The entertainment version is fine, i.e., as entertainment, say, in tv for Christmas Eve with the family or friends about with spiked eggnog in the hand. But, there is a profound difference, the original echoes eternity and the popularized version follows the entertainment modes of the today. I draw a lesson of liturgical proportions.
The Latin free masses, particularly those seeking novelty and a family spirit between the listeners (who just happen to be in a church for a mass), lack the profundity of transcending towards God in His infinite Glory. Any adoption of the popular version to the mass (and I have had to listen to pop culture music, including hard rock, as a musical expression for a mass) abd the religious essence gets lost.
Turn to YouTube and look up "A comparison of Catholic and Orthodox liturgy" (or some similar title) and I bet that anyone can "feel" the profundity of the Orthodox liturgy vs the horizontal entertainment style of the Catholic service shown, particularly the introduction of Rio-like carnival troops into the mass.
In summary: As the pop version with a certain depth, the Canon Rock captures some festive Christmas cheer, but does not express the deepness of the Sacrifice mediated by the Mass, particularly by the means of Latin or Old Church Slavonic.
