Song in commerical

[Syrch]

I was wondering if any of you guys knew what song is played during the new Capital one card commerical. The commerical starts out with a couple buying stuff in a store. When they get the total and look in their wallet vikings bust into the store. At that point (when you see the vikings) there is an instrumental that plays (no words). Of couse once the girl uses her citicard the vikings get upset and it says whats in your wallet. I've been trying to find the name of this song for ever. Please help...

That sounds like a Capital One commercial.

And if it is like the rest of their commercials, it is "The Boys are Back in Town" by Thin Lizzy, IIRC.

 

[chuckywang]

Yeah, that's what I recall as well.

Hum, I don't think its that song, its like that music they use for battle scenes in movies a lot. Do you have a clip of it at all?

 

[Syrch]

Yeah sorry this is a capital one commercial. I have an audio clip that can be posted but i'd need someone to host. Anyone able to help?

 

[lokiju]

Dammit, this is gonna bug me, anyone able to host this file? I know the commercial he's talking about, its got that kind of heavy orchestra sound that is used a lot in movies for battle scenes. I just for the life of me can't remember the name of it though.

It's "O Fortuna" from the opera Carmina Burana by Carl Orff.

its pretty common. Especially for movie ads that are striving to be dramatic. I'm sure i've heard people ask "whats this song" on this forum for this exact song at least 3 or 4 times in the past as well.

I remember way back when hearing it in the movie Excalibur and I went on a many month rampage trying to figure out what the song was. After all the trouble I went through trying to figure it out, it kinda sticks in my head.

wasnt it also the song used in Conan for the final battle scene?
