BRAVO!

God, I wish YouTube weren't blocked at work. My students would get a kick out of this.

Took a while to get warmed up, but that's one of the better ones I've seen.

Hawsome.

i first heard this when i saw the movie excalibur. awesome movie. found out the piece name and have listened to it every now and then ever since.

now i hear this... and ... *picard facepalm*

+1 link. Would LOL again!!!

nice

That was both entertaining, and informative.

Now I have definitive proof for my girl friend, that the gonorrhea I gave her, came from windmill cookies.

She's was really quite skeptical about it.

Alright, I laughed my farking ass off at this, which I'm pretty sure proves there's something seriously wrong with me.

/totally
//awesome

My favorite piece of classical music. I went to see it when the symphony did it a few years ago. Twice.

^^^ THIS

wicked funny find, subby

Subby, I had never seen this until yesterday, when someone pointed it out in a thread at dkos. So I am just curious, is that where you found it, or....?

Congrats on the greenlight. I do like Benny Lava better, but this is real good.

This is wonderful.

/love that song
//great workout music
///I like to time pullups to the base-drum hits

"Estuans Interius" (also from Carmina Burana) is great for muttering under your breath when angry. "Burning inside with virulent rage..." Sometimes it's better when you know the words and others don't.

Nice, but there are others I've seen with some funnier lines in some places. Like for example, the part with "Salsa Cookies. Windmill Cookies. They give you ghonerreha." was "Saw some Wookies. Great Big Wookies. They came to maul Darth Vader" in one of them and now everytime I hear Carmina Burana I sing that to myself and laugh.

Very amusing. It's not Benny Lava, but it'll do.

Carmina Burana is like the Top 40 of classical music, though.

Whenever I hear this song, I think of this ad from Carlton Draught http://youtube.com/watch?v=Mv5U0W8FDDk

Best beer ad ever.

that was a flash thing on ymntd long before it ended up as a youtube video. think someone was ripping someone off.

Benny Lava is one of the funniest things i have ever seen.

Farking hilarious! Thank you. I played this piece in college so I knew all the latin lyrics. Of course it will never be the same again.

/windmill cookies!

You say Carmina,
I say Carmana.
You say Burina,
I say Burana.
Let's Carl the whole thing Orff.

I arranged this for our H.S. marching band back in 11th grade (1985-86).

It was terrible fun making people that were only accustomed to marching in 4/4 try to march around a football field with some of the non-standard (for marching bands that is) meters in that piece. IIRC the drum break I wrote was something that was a measure of 7/8 then a measure of 5/8 and that pattern of 7/8 then 5/8 repeating, with the rest of the band trying desperately to march in 4/4.

Translation:

O Fortune, like the moon of ever changing state, you are always waxing or waning; hateful life now is brutal, now pampers our feelings with its game; poverty, power, it melts them like ice.

Fate, savage and empty, you are a turning wheel, your position is uncertain, your favour is idle and always likely to disappear; covered in shadows and veiled you bear upon me too; now my back is naked through the sport of your wickedness.

The chance of prosperity and of virtue is not now mine; whether willing or not, a man is always liable for Fortune's service. At this hour without delay touch the strings! Because through luck she lays low the brave, all join with me in lamentation!

Fer crissakes, couldn't they have picked another composition? I'm so sick of Carl Orff being used for every sports commercial and youtube submission. I instantly hate whatever is being promoted.

EL_FABREZ: Fer crissakes, couldn't they have picked another composition?

Thank you. I am beginning to think that this is the only classical piece that people know. I'm sick of it.

Nah, people also know the following classical pieces:

1) the first 3 minutes of "Also Sprach Zarathustra"
2) the last 4 minutes of the "William Tell Overture"
3) the first 8 notes of Beethoven's Fifth
4) "Kill Da Wabbit"
5) "Hello Mudda, Hello Faddah"

And let us not forget...

6) Rossini's Overture to "The Rabbit (er, Barber) of Seville"

FAFNA!
