Does anyone know why in episode 12 series 8 of Friends, did they change the music from "O Fortuna" to Beethoven symphony number 9.
I personally think "o fortuna" is a briliant piece of music and is very haunting......a piece of operatic prog rock?

What??

I don't know about the episode and I can't guess why  "Friends" would've featured such majestic music, though "O Fortuna," opening part of Karl Orff's pagan cantata "Carmina Burana", has been used anywhere from toilet paper commercials to depictions of Christianity (yes, it HAS been used as Christian, religious music...)... but please... "operatic prog rock"??? Dead Good music isn't always prog rock... in fact, most good music probably never is Wink (if we were to calculate percentages...)

"Operatic prog rock"? Sounds like Zeuhl to me. Big smile

I never knew about this until you mentioned it. I have no idea why they did it. It makes no sense at all. Cry

I was wondering if copyright issues might be the reason, but that doesn't make sense since O Fortuna is used EVERYWHERE (as well as similar sounding pieces that I refer to as "Fake Carmina Burana music").
 
Course I lost interest in Friends after the first season.....

what?? this one?? Was this based on Beethoven? This is the only thing I remember about Friends other than wanting to have intercourse with Jennifer  Anniston's hair.

^ That is weird...someone showed me this youtube video called "jennifer aniston's hair" and it was just still photos of her, and  I guess her hair, over time and how it changed.

Remember thinking it was f*cking weird and borderline creepy, is her hair really that awesome?

Are you sure it was a montage? Maybe it was a collage.
