Music help needed

http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi4069064985/

There is a piece of classical music playing under the commercial for "South Park." I need to identify the selection. Can anyone out there help me?

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

I knew it from the end of "Glory"

Yup. This is from Carmina Burana.

It has been used in a zillion movies, TV shows and commercials.

If I remember correctly it first became a media staple when it was used in the movie "Excalibur"

Yeah, Hollywood way overuses this piece, especially in trailers. It's still one of my favorites, though.

Side note - the TV Show "The Dresden Files" used a bit of fake Miles Davis from a stock music site. Apparently lots of TV shows save money by using "Sounds like $musician" clips for modern music.

It drove me nuts trying to figure that out.
