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.

ReneMaroon 5's song, 'Memories' takes both the chord progression and the melody from Pachelbel's Canon. The key is different but other than that their melody is just a simplified version of the violin melody in the Canon.
