    All I could find was Carmina Burana, and that was Carl Orff.

    Only the music was Carl Orff - the words are mediaeval doggerel.

    You might know it as the 'Old Spice' advert.

    Carmina means a collection of songs. I don't know about Burina (sp?). This particular Carmina was compiled by Carl Orff at age 16 if I remember correctly. I'm not sure if he wrote every song in the collection. It is still a good listen, and you should read the libreto. Some of the songs are simply drinking songs.

    It is the first song in the collection.

    Here is a FAQ on the whole thing.

    It also featured pretty heavily in the Omen films.

    It's a great piece of music up loud!
