   Okay, mildly amusing until I found out that windmill cookies give you gonorrhea. Then I cracked up.

   Haahhh this is so funny. I performed that song once in a choir. The funny thing is that some of the 'lyrics' are very similar to the real words. "Oh Four Tuna" = "O Fortuna" "Lukewarm two rat" - "Nunc Obdurat"

   Reminds me of my favorite Carmina Burana interpretation: http://wookiessong.ytmnd.com/ The lyrics aren't as phonetically close to the originals as they are in the video above, but somehow they work... awesomely.

   graymccarty, uh, that's why it's funny. The subtitles are words that sound like the real words. That's the joke.

   Carmina is one one my all time favorite pieces. I laughed so hard at this that I think I need to go find some clean clothing now. Y'all "be good for Peace Monkey's sake!"

    I believe the original credit belongs here -

    To really appreciate the humor, open this link in another window while watching the video -

    http://www-astro.physics.ox.ac.uk/~rejs/carmlyr.html#track25

    The Latin lyrics are there (this is the closing piece, section 25).

    LOL - I have seen other songs done the same way.
    I had once played Carmina Burana for some young children and their lyrics were just as fun as those posted there.

    This was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. I love all the references to food.

    Did any of you catch that this was promoted from the Upcoming Queue? See? It's neat, right?

    Yeah, Alex, we noticed. Good. I actually prefer Noelegy's links. "Dokken says it's not fair", indeed.

    Well, Minnesotastan, allow me to insist: the Flash animation I linked was posted on the b3ta board in October 2004, and it seems most of the misheard lyrics from this version come from there. The YMNTD author did some an awesome job, but it wouldn't kill him to admit he was inspired by someone else's work.

    LOL. Awesomeness. I've sung this before with choir/orchestra and this is by far my favorite interpretation

    Oh geeze. I'm definitely steering clear of salsa cookies from now on.
