Time Warner Road Runner classroom diorama

[pdish543]

In the Road Runner High Speed Internet ad featuring a young girl in a classroom setting whose diorama featuring a lizard eating a bug (with the teacher clapping and her fat rolling around- its gross), theres some classical song in the background. My friends think its 'O Forunta' from Carmina Burana (a common song to use in an ad). I, however, think otherwise. I emailed Road Runner- but no responce. Anyone recognize it?

I'm not sure, but you can listen to a sample of "O' Fortuna" to help figure it out. The link goes to available audio sample at Amazon, it's track 1.

I tried to find this song for some time, I just listened to O' Forunta here: http://www.theflasharchive.com/f/f-278.htm
and it definitely is the song. Thanks.

It is NOT O Fortuna. But it sounds similar.

It is IN FACT taken from the end of O Fortuna, listen to them side by side.

I have. I listened to the entire Carmina Burana and the music in the link you posted and while the song in the road runner commercial sounds similar to O Fortuna, it is not the same. Look at the commercial again. pdish543 is right.

Its definetly not O Fortuna. Ive been going nuts trying to figre out what it is.

Who provides Roadrunner in your area?Is it Time Warner?I found Time-Warner of NYC very helpful when I asked them about the music in their DVR ads.
