Need Help Identifying a piece of Classical music

[RayvenQ]

Namely, the music in this video

(The later part of it is also included on another of my favourite songs)

[Lady Legira]

It is Carmina Burana by Orff or at least part of it. I've known for most of my life as the Old Spice music.

[JoitheArtist]

Specifically, it's O Fortuna, the best known of the Carmina Burana pieces.

If anyone's a fan of Hal Sparks' comedy, it's the song he calls the "greatest song in the history of the world" and talks about for the first few minutes of "Escape from Halcatraz".

"Why isn't that available at karaoke?!?!"

[KiaKat]

Oh goodness...It's been years since I've heard that song. Easily one of my favourites to sing with a full choir. Hard as hell in certain points, but when you get a good group, with a great conductor, it's incredibly moving.

Although when I first sang it, I hated the staccato. HATED. A high F/C# staccato over two measures...ugh. But nailing it is the greatest feeling in the world.

Enquiring minds want to know what rifle they're firing...?

[RayvenQ]

It's a .577 T-Rex Rifle AKA An elephant Gun.

We played selections from Carmina Burana in my high school band - I still remember when we played O Fortuna and the first time it came together and nearly everyone realized they already knew it!

[Lil Bunny]

*harkens back to the day* Ahhh geriatric ravers you'll enjoy this.

I'm listening to the techno remix of it at the moment. *sigh* Where did my glow sticks go to?

I've always wanted an elephant gun. No, not *that* sort of elephant gun. Nope, I want one that *fires* elephants. Imagine the look on your victim's face when a pachyderm comes flying at them full-force

[morgana]

Also featured prominently in the movie "Excalibur" back in the eighties. Very stirring.

Lil Bunny, where'd you find a techno remix of this? It sounds like something I'd really like . . .

[Lil Bunny]

Oh man, no idea anymore. Send me a pm with your email and I'll send it to you tonight when I get home!

I want a tiger tank, that fires actual tigers

Caliber? It'd have to be a 01-1 51-111 Caliber (AKA OH SHIT)

Spider Robinson did a riff in a story where the characters were proposing alternate weapons:

The snot-gun
The sling-shit (These two are favored in polite political discussions)

The cross-bo (fires angry hobos) and several others I can'r remember.

One of the women over on the Devil's Panties board has a strip called Lucid Moments. One of her story arcs talks about a kitten gun.

It's a gun, that fires kittens.

I want one.
