Quick Q for X Factor watchers

[gregssausageroll]

Can anyone please tell me what that instrumental music was at the start?

[PivotPivotPIVOT]

What, the classical music bit?

It's O Fortuna from Carmina Burana (I only know this because it said so in Private Eye this week, I am not cultured)

[PivotPivotPIVOT]

I am not entirely sure what Carmina Burana is. To me it sounds like a brand of Tequila.

P'raps it's an Opera.

I know, Madame, I was so appalled by my own ignorance and general philistinism that I looked it up

[DilysPrice]

Though I was familiar with the work before I googled it I had no idea it was composed as recently as the 1930s. The things you learn from X factor threads eh?

[gregssausageroll]

No, not that one. The one I mean was when they were in taxis, doing their hair and getting ready etc. I am sure Pride of Britain use it too as have my local radio station.

gregs it is Poppiholla by Chicane

[cornsilllk]

[PivotPivotPIVOT]

No, you're thinking of Simon Cowell

[cornsilllk]
