The piece Caitlin and Jason danced to ... what horror movie was that in? I want to say The Omen, but I'm not sure. It was ... weird to see people dancing to it. For me.
It was "O Fortuna" from Orff's Carmina Burana. It has been used in a lot of stuff, most recently in those horrid Republican anti-gay marriage ads. I agree it was a horrible music choice.
ETA: Or is it the Gitmo ad? Anyway, one of those Republican fear-mongering ads that popped up recently.
"O Fortuna"? Really? That's...an interesting choice. Though I seem to remember that Paul Wylie had a cool ice-skating routine to it.
I really like Carmina Burana (and have it on CD), but "O Fortuna" is pretty intense and way overused at this point. It's like the "Hallelujah" of concert music.
And there's some other stuff in Carmina that could conceivably make cool dance music. Or at least better.
Just what I was hoping for. We'll see if Karla makes a better partner for Vitolio than Asuka, but I'm seriously iffy on her, too.
It occurs to me that, since I've been having trouble getting up lately, maybe I should switch out my alarm's current CD (Grieg's "Peer Gynt: Morning Mood") for "O Fortuna". That would certainly get one's blood going.
It was The Omen !
Which just made it weird for me, because that's the first and only time/place I had heard it so ... I expected Gregory Peck or someone to come out brandishing a cross.
I'm not sad about either of the elims. My people are still in it!
Who got the boot? I had class tonight.
Asuka and Jonathan.
Ok. Since I can't even remember who Jonathan is, I'm happy.
