Quick Q for X Factor watchers

[gregssausageroll]

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

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)

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

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?

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

isn't it from the Omen?

No, you're thinking of Simon Cowell

it's from an old spice advert!

thanks pivot! thanks!
