Hi, In the episode when del boy has the baby they tell Rodney that its a boy and they're gonna call him damian then the music plays as the camera is on Rodney's scared freaked out face, what is the music? Thanks x

The name of the song is Carmina Burana - O Fortuna...if i remember correctly.

[OBonio]

Agree with djstevie. It's famously used in the film The Omen which is about a boy called Damien aswell.

Carmina Burana by Carl Orff definitely.

I have to disagree with OBonio; it's a common misconception that Carmina Burana is used in The Omen, when it's not. The piece of music in The Omen is actually Ave Satani, an original piece composed by Jerry Goldsmith for the film. It bears a slight similarity to Orff's piece but, just as Rick never actually says 'Play it again, Sam' in Casablanca, Carmina Burana never features in the film. I think it is the music used in Only Fools, however.
