Saruman (with Grima at backup vocals): "I put a spell on youuuu and now you're mine" (Grima) "you're mine, you're mine, you're mine." "I put a spell on youuu it's so strong" (Grima) "so strong, so strong, so strong."

[Witch_Queen]

[Boromir88]

Eowyn to Aragorn: "I've spent so many nights....of thinking how you did me wrong."

Witch-king with breakdancing Wraiths in the background: "We are the Men in black."

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

This is not funny in anyway, but it seems appropriate:

Lúthien: Iris by Goo-Goo Dolls.

And I'd give up forever to touch you . . .

Need I go on? ;)

~*~

Thorin and Co.:

Heigh ho, heigh ho. To Smaugie we will go.
We'll take our hoe and strike him 'low
Heigh ho, heigh ho.

Or something like that. I don't know the title and the correct lyrics.

[Hama Of The Riddermark]

[The Barrow-Wight]

This goes along with the last post. A comic I did a couple of years ago: Baggins Rhapsody (http://www.barrowdowns.com/images/comic/bwcomic06.jpg)

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Elves in general during the Third Age: Somewhere Only We Know by Keane.

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

So Eldarinly melancholic. Keane rocks. :cool:

[Sapphire_Flame]

For Sauron, "Every Breath You Take" by The Police:

"Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take

I'll be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay

I'll be watching you

Oh can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake

I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake

I'll be watching you"

*~~~~*~~~~*

Heheheh...

A couple of others:

Frodo: "My Immortal" by Evanescence

Faramir & Eowyn: "Broken" by Seether (feat. Amy Lee)

I'll be back with more later. :D

~ Saphy ~

[Mithalwen]

Celeborn "Being Boring"

Theoden to Grima "Don't stand so close to me"

Rosie Cotton "Everytime we say good bye"

Elves "Shiny, Happy people" REM

Beren & Luthien "Moondance"

Everard Took and Melilot Brandybuck "Safety Dance" 'We can dance if we want to' Men without Hats

I think thats enough. Too much for my mind to comprehend.

[Evisse the Blue]

Sorry to go a bit OT here, but: Sam & Gaffer "Father and Son" Cat Stevens ( NOT Westlife - puhleaze). Mith, t'was Boyzone who did a remake of Father and Son. Quite good, IMO. :)

Back on topic now!

Aragorn and Arwen - Over the hills and far away (take out the pistol part, and the rest goes well, especially the chorus!)
Denethor - I 'm going slightly mad (Queen) - slightly, eh!
Speaking of Queen:
Dwarves: 'We will rock you' (that one was kind of cheap, I know... :p )
Aragorn/Frodo/Gandalf: Wanted dead or alive (Bon Jovi)

You know what would be Shelob's perfect theme song though? 'Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me'. What, think it's too cheesy? :p

[Mithalwen]

Sorry to go a bit OT here, but: . Mith, t'was Boyzone who did a remake of Father and Son. Quite good, IMO. :)




Actually quite glad I didn't know that ;) ..... boy bands ... eeeeeek .... not quite my thang.....

And to go back to a band of real men..

How about "The doors" "Endless Night" for Feanor (ripped from blake) "Realms of Bliss, realms of Light, some are born to Sweet delight... some are born to the end of thenight.."

[Sapphire_Flame]

You know what would be Shelob's perfect theme song though? 'Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me'. What, think it's too cheesy? :p

How about "Thriller"? ;)

"It's Close To Midnight And Something Evil's Lurking In The Dark
Under The Moonlight You See A Sight That Almost Stops Your Heart
You Try To Scream But Terror Takes The Sound Before You Make It
You Start To Freeze As Horror Looks You Right Between The Eyes,
You're Paralyzed

'Cause This Is Thriller, Thriller Night
And No One's Gonna Save You From The Beast About To Strike
You Know It's Thriller, Thriller Night
You're Fighting For Your Life Inside A Killer, Thriller
Tonight

You Hear The Door Slam And Realize There's Nowhere Left To Run
You Feel The Cold Hand And Wonder If You'll Ever See The Sun
You Close Your Eyes And Hope That This Is Just Imagination
But All The While You Hear The Creature Creepin' Up Behind
You're Out Of Time

'Cause This Is Thriller, Thriller Night
There Ain't No Second Chance Against The Thing With Forty Eyes
You Know It's Thriller, Thriller Night
You're Fighting For Your Life Inside Of Killer, Thriller Tonight"

~ Saphy ~

[Lalwendë]

I've not been silly today yet, so here are a few more, the joke's in the titles ;) :


Grima - Creep- Radiohead
Grima to Aragorn - Get Your Hands off my Woman - the Darkness
Beren/Luthien - Ever Fallen in Love With Someone (You Shouldn’t Have Fallen in Love With) - Buzzcocks
Earendil - Ray of Light - Madonna
Frodo - I started Something I couldn’t Finish - The Smiths (a bit mean...)
The Ring - How to Disappear Completely - Radiohead
Goldberry - Down by the Water - PJ Harvey
The Balrog - Firestarter - prodigy


EDIT: and for Shelob and all her kind, what about the creepiest spider song of all time? Lullaby by the Cure? "the spider man is having me for dinner tonight". :eek:

[Encaitare]

Grima - Creep- Radiohead

Ah, yes. I've been trying to work that one into a series of Grima-centric songfics I've got, but alas, anything I think of is all too cliche....

So Eldarinly melancholic. Keane rocks.

Aye. Applies very nicely.

I wish I could think of something to add, but my mind is not really working properly tonight. :p

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Fading Elves: Everybody's Changing

You're gone from here
And soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
Cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right

~*~

Grima - Creep- Radiohead (Lalwendë)
COFLGOHAHA! How appropriate!

[THE Ka]

hmm... where to start...


Aragorn: "I was born on the other side/of a town ripped in two/i made it over the great divide/now i'm coming for you..." ~ John Cameron Mitchell

I really don't know why but, I tend to compare "divide" by the fact that Aragorn spent most of his time in the north (the two different kingdoms that were ruled by the numenoreans) before the fellowship. Another is "town ripped in two" (the fact that men where 'divided' in middle earth, or in other words, too many past disputes and grudges.)

Faramir: "The perfect Fit" ~ Dresden Dolls... A lovely piano rock song about a not-so-perfect being, forced to be. "i can't fix a car/but i can fix a flat/i could fix alot of things/but i'd rather not get into that"... "

Another for Aragorn is: "Half Jack" ~ Dresden Dolls

Well, i've done my share. Until next time...

~Musing Ka~

[Encaitare]

Hah! Thought of one.

"Comfortably Numb" by the ever-glorious Pink Floyd describes Theoden under the influence of Saruman and Grima. Of course, the extent of his deterioration and helplessness depends on whether you go by the book or movie version of Theodon, but either way it's applicable. Lyrics hither (http://lyred.com/lyrics/Pink+Floyd/The+Wall/Comfortably+Numb/) for those of ye who are unfamiliar with the lovely tune.

I wonder if that's a crime in M-E... RUI: Ruling Under the Influence. Hah. Oh, don't mind me, too much history and a surplus of Supreme Court cases are making me delerious. Four AP American History essays down, one to go. I'm so efficient. :p

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Balrogs: Fallin' by someone (I forgot--too many local versions!)

I'm afraid to fly
And I don't know why
I'm jealous of the people who are not afraid to die
It's just that that I recall
Back when I was small
Someone told me that I could fly
But then it's really false
And now I'm fallin'
Fallin' fast again . . .

~*~

Arwen and Aragorn: Beauty and the Beast http://www.geocities.com/louis_martian/smilies/evil.gif

That'll fit better for Legolas and Gimli.

[Mithalwen]

Gimli (I just picture as a rapper)- "I like big butts and I cannot lie..."



Funny - I always picture Gimli as being a member of ZZTop! :smokin:

[The Only Real Estel]

I picture Gimli as that big guitarist on Bowling for Soup :D.

[Maeggaladiel]

Balrog- You are the Wind Beneath my Wings (??)

Frodo and Sam while in Cirith Ungol- Boris the Spider by The Who.

Nasgul- Ride of the Valkyries (sp?) or Flight of the Bumblebee I know they can't sing it, but I think it would be cool to have that playing in the background every time they rode somewhere.

Grima- I Can't Get No Satisfaction

Sauron- These Eyes... er... maybe This Eye.

[ninlaith]

Mine is a little different....I just put parts of songs that I think of when i see certain parts of the movie

Denethor: Come on baby light my fire

Pip and Merry: The run is on, the jig is up, they've finally found me

Boromir: Walk like a man

Gandalf: Fly like an Eagle

Frodo: If I could turn back time

Arwen: And I need you now tonight, and I need you more than ever

Aragorn: Wanderer, yeah I'm the wanderer

Sam: Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me

Gollum: Why can't we be friends

Legolas: Walk this way!!! (he's just far too swell for any other song)

Gimli: Hit me with your best shot

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Haldir, Rúmil, and Orophin: My Band by D12.

These chicks don't even know the name of my bros
But they're all on me like they wanna hold hands
Coz all they know is what they see in the film
All because PJ wants me dead in Helm's Deep.

[Evisse the Blue]

Haldir, Rúmil, and Orophin: My Band by D12.

*chokes with laughter* :D

Got a few more (I've been watching cartoons, if you're wondering :))

Hobbits: (esp. Pippin): 'The Bare Necessities': Look for the bare necesities/ forget about your worries and your strife/, Old Mother's nature recipes'...etc

the Fellowship: That's what friends are for: "We're your friends/ till the bitter end...'

Saruman (and/or Grima) - Kaa's (the snake) song - come to think of it, Grima strikes me as a very reptilian sort of person ;): 'Trust in me, just in me, you can sleep safe and sound, Knowing I am around.'

And for the Nazgul: "Walking in the air": We're walking in the air/ We're floating in the moonlit sky/ And people all around/ Will great us as we fly.' (yeah, with yells and arrows)

Oh and for Aragorn and Arwen this would be their theme song: Once upon a dream, because it illustrates very well the fact that their love mirrors that of Luthien and Beren. Check out the lyrics: (corny as they may be):
I know you
I walked with you once upon a dream.
I know you
The gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
Yes, I know it's true
that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once
the way you did once upon a dream

Ok now- enough of a Disney fest, Tolkien would have been very annoyed cause he hated Disney. Oh well...

[The Only Real Estel]

Gandalf on Orthanc: I want to fly away- Lenny Kravitz

Frodo: Paranoid- Linkin Park
It's like I'm...paranoid, looking over my back,
It's like a...whirlwind inside of my head;
It's like I...can't stop what I'm feeling within,
It's like a Wheel of Fire is right beneath my skin!

[Boromir88]

Elrond healing Frodo- And a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down, the medicine go down...

[Sapphire_Flame]

Frodo: Paranoid- Linkin Park
It's like I'm...paranoid, looking over my back,
It's like a...whirlwind inside of my head;
It's like I...can't stop what I'm feeling within,
It's like a Wheel of Fire is right beneath my skin!
Oo, good choice! :D

How about this for Grima?

"Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl I stalk, both day and night
So happy together...

I can't see me stalking nobody but you,
For all your life!
When you're with me, baby, the skies will be blue,
For all my life!"

'Tis a parody, by a local group called InsideOut, of a more well-known song. ;) I thought it worked for Grima sneaking around after Eowyn...

Aragorn: Rohirrim Women (American Women-Lenny Kravitz)

Rohirrim Women, stay away from me-eeee;
Rohirrim Women, mamma let me be-eee...

Gollum: 2463 (1985-Bowling for Soup)

...and bring back:
Eggses, and fishing, not knowing 'bout the One Ring,
There was grandma, and Deagol, back when they still called me Smeagol;
My two sides, they argue, 'bout what they think I 'oughta do,
'Cause I'm still regretting me--in 20...20...2463.

[Morgul Queen]

Gollum: Behind Blue Eyes. The cover by Limp Bizkit a'cause somehow it seems more Gollumish when they do it, don't ask me why.

Lotho: The Man Who Sold the World, David Bowie!

Gandalf while plotting to 'dispose' of Boromir: Bring me the Disco King, David Bowie!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v38/Ainamenelwen/Emotions/dancing.gif

[Encaitare]

Gollum: Behind Blue Eyes. The cover by Limp Bizkit a'cause somehow it seems more Gollumish when they do it, don't ask me why.

True, true. The cover has a sadder sound because it doesn't include the middle part that's in the original... "When my fist clenches, crack it open" and all that. *Enca rocks out inside her head, having no tunes with her at present*

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Drop It Like It's Hot by Snoop Dogg f/ Pharrell Williams.

Can't get the clicking sound out of my head.

[Lhunardawen]

Gollum: 2463 (1985-Bowling for Soup)

Haha!!!

Only one thing comes to mind now:
Gimli and Legolas to Aragorn: Wherever You Will Go (The Calling)

[THE Ka]

getting into a "pyro" mood...


Denethor: My little shirtwaist fire by : Rasputina

My Little Shirtwaist Fire
Once it started
The frail and fainthearted
Just withered to the floor
Oh, so sadly
We examined hands burned badly
By that which no man fears more.

The terrible flames of
All that remain of
My Little Shirtwaist Fire...

Or one kind word from
One who loves them but
What I have earned is mine-



Yes, just wonderful?

~Rasputina Ka

[Boromir88]

Galadriel: (The Pizza Bagel Bites theme song)

Lembas in the morning,
Lembas in the evening,
Lembas at supper time,
When you got Lembas in the wrappings,
you can eat Lembas anytime.

Istari, Istari night
Is that wizard Blue Or Grey.
GANDALF

Please allow me to introduce myself
I`m a Maia of wealth and taste
Been around for a long long age
Saw Melkor fall from grace.
SYMPATHY FOR SAURON (THE TROLLING STONES)


I fell in to a burning crack of fire
Went down down down
And the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns
The Ring of Power
The Ring of Power

Lust is a burning thing
And it made
A fiery ring
Flamed by wild desire
I fell in to a crack of fire

The taste of fish is sweet
When both of my teeth meet
But I went really wild
When I got back my Precious child.
(This has got to prove that Johnny Cash was a Tolkien fan)The Gollum Song

[Vuelve]

.
(This has got to prove that Johnny Cash was a Tolkien fan)The Gollum Song
Actually Johnny's wife June Carter-Cash wrote the song, so she was secrectly the Big Tolkien fan of the family.LOL (leave it to me the self - proclaimed "walking country music dicionary" to know stuff like that. anyway)


Aragorn -'Was I right or Wrong' - Lynyrd Skynyrd
"Like a restless leaf in the autumn breeze
Once I was a tumblin' weed
Like a rollin' stone, cold and all alone
Living for the day my train would come "



Eowyn- 'Redneck Woman' - Gretchen Wilson
"Well I ain't never been the Barbie doll type."


Aragorn to Arwen - 'When I Think About Cheatin' '- Gretchen Wilson
"When I think About cheatin' I just think about you leavin
and how my world would fall to pieces if I tossed your love away
even when I'm temped by some stranger oh there's never any danger
I just think about you leavin when I think about cheatin' "



Aragorn (again sorry lol) - Forever - Kid Rock
" Oh I'm back the fog is lifted the earth has shifted to raise the gifted

Thats all for now. Toodles

[Lhunardawen]

I forgot who's sig this was...but if you know it was yours, please stand to be recognized. :)

Smeagol to Gollum - Numb (Linkin Park)
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you

[Evisse the Blue]

Lhuna - this sig used to be Sleepy Ranger's. Don't know if he still has it though. :)

This one's for Feanor: Soulburn by Masterplan:

They teach him right but he knows they're wrong
He sees in silence
They tell him stop, but he wants to move on
Spread the wings to fly them

All the world is like a shining diamond,
The way it glitters if you polish it right,
And if the light should turn and leave you blinded
Take the dream and give it one more try.
Feel the soulburn,
Pathfinder...

Legolas to Aragorn:
Man I feel Like a Woman...

~Pondering Ka~

[Lhunardawen]

Sorry for using the same song...but it suddenly dawned on me that another part of Linkin Park's Numb was so appropriate for Faramir.

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

Every step that I take is another mistake to you
And every second I waste is more than I can take

[Lhunardawen]

This Ring (movie Frodo)

I was so high
I only recognized the fire burning in his Eye
The chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye, Sam stepped on a stone
Never to return again
But always in my heart ... (I guess)

This Ring has talken its toll on me
I've never said goodbye to him ever before
And his heart is breaking in front of me
But I have no choice
'Cause I don't have lembas anymore

[Lostgaeriel]

Since a number of people have posted song parodies here, I thought you might enjoy this related thread: Song Parodies (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=5560).

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

In accordance to what KA said Not a girl, not yet a woman, by Britney Spears might be appropriate for Legolas. Really shows his inner conflict :p

On a serious note Josh Groban's You Raise me up for Frodo and Sam.

[THE Ka]

I thought this one would be funny to 'Tolkienize'...

original song: All tomorrow's Parties by Velvet Underground


What costume shall the poor orc wear
To all tomorrow's raiding parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow's raiding parties

And where will he go and what shall he be
When midnight comes around
He'll turn once more to Sauron's clown
And cry behind the black gate

And what costume shall the poor orc wear
To all tomorrow's raiding parties
Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns
To all tomorrow's raiding parties

And what will he do with Balrog's rags
When the field of Cormallen comes around
he'll turn once more to Sauron's clown
And cry behind the black gate

And what costume shall the poor orc wear
To all tomorrow's raiding parties
For Melkor's child is Sauron's clown
For whom none will go mourning
A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks, a costume
It's fine for one who sits and cries
For all tomorrow's raiding parties

What do you think?

Aragorn: Rohirrim Women (American Women-Lenny Kravitz)

Yes, Lenny Kravitz covered the song, but it was originally by the great 70’s (Canadian) band, The Guess Who (key members: Burton Cummings & Randy Bachman). 'American Woman' 1970 RCA/BMG by Bachman/Cummings/Peterson/Kale, UniChappel Music Inc./BMI.


Hi Maeggaladiel!

You posted:
Sauron- These Eyes... er... maybe This Eye.

Do you mean ‘These Eyes’ - also by The Guess Who? Gee, do you think I might be Canadian? And over 35?

Ah, well, whoever did it :D.

[Maeggaladiel]

Yeah... that song would work too, Lostgaeriel. I was thinking of a Cher song, which I now realize probably wasn't called "These Eyes." Ah well.

Gandalf while plotting to 'dispose' of Boromir: Bring me the Disco King, David Bowie!

Hmm... Maybe then they'll trade in hugo weaving for David Bowie...That would be awsome... Wait though! They would get rid of boromir and that no good at all... Okay, Sean stays and Ian and Bowie join forces to dispose of Hugo Weaving... Besides, he was much better in Adventures of Pricilla the Desert Queen. Such a wonderful movie.

I dunno, this is weird, and i dont know if anyone has already suggested this

Eowyn about Aragorn (with Arwen "cameos") - On My Own (Les Misérables by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michél Schönberg) For those who haven't heard it, it goes a bit like:

On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
In the darkness the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever

Faramir about Eowyn - I Saw Him (her now) once (Les Misérables once again!) Again, for those who don't know the words:

I saw him/her once
Then he/she was gone
etc.

Welcome to the Downs, peral. :)

Eowyn upon first seeing Aragorn:

Well, you burst on the scene
Already a legend

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

In our Deutsch class, I came across this song. With a little modification, it sounded fitting for Saruman. Hier ist es:

Bunt, bunt, bunt sind alle meine Kleider.
Bunt, bunt, bunt is alles was ich hab.
Darum lieb ich alles, was so bunt ist.
Weil meine Weisheit Torheit geworden.

(I apologise for any wrong grammar or word usage.)

Saruman's wild men army- "The Fixin' to Die Rag" by Country Joe and the Fish

"Well, gather round, all you big strong men,
Saruman needs your help again,
He's got himself in a terrible jam,
Way down yonder in old Rohan!
So put down your books and bow to the One!
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun!

"And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a fuss!
Next stop is Edoras!

"And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the old black gate,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
WHOOPEE! We're all gonna die!"

Don't ask me why I was listening to this...

Dragostea Din tei (http://mapage.noos.fr/martialro/ozone/video.html) for either Aragorn and Arwen or Aragorn and Eowyn...

It makes me laugh. :D

It's alright. A friend of mine named James and I have a fetish for Romania after buying O-Zone's album... Picaso is mentioned in it, so i'm fine with it. :)

It's even funnier when you see the music video... Now i'm imagining aragorn dancing on the wing of an airplane... :eek:

[THE Ka]

I was listening to the The Life Aquatic soundtrack and when I came across Scott Walker's 30 Century Man, I immediately thought of Gandalf...

See the dwarves and see the giants
Which one would you choose to be?
And if you can't get that together
Here's the answer, here's the key
You can freeze like a 30 Century Man
Like a 30 Century Man
I'll save my bread and take it with me
'Til a hundred years or so
Shame you won't be there to see me
Shakin' hands with Charles De Gaulle
Play it cool and Saranwrap all you can
Be a 30 Century Man
You can freeze like a 30 Century Man
Like a 30 Century Man
Like a 30 Century Man

Awsome song... :)

~ Copyrighted Ka

[Evisse the Blue]

O-zone...are these guys really everywhere?? Not my first choice of how I'd want Romania advertised to the outer world... Not my second, not my third either :D

Ok. Let's not make this completely off topic:

Theme song for the for the Ride of the Rohirrim: Valley of the Damned by Dragonforce. Especially this part:

"On the wings of death by the hands of doom
By the darkest light from the darkest moon
Crossing silent seas over mountains high
For we stand as one tonight

On the black wind forever we ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom our guide
When the master will storm us
He'll stand high before us
Our hearts filled with splendour
Our swords will shine over the light

On the wings of life, by the hands of hope
By the brightest light from the brightest sun
Crossing silent seas over mountains high"

'Broken' by Sonata Arctica has two lines that make me think LOTR:

Fell in love with the weakness within me.
Tried to force me the Ring and own me.
This sounds just like the Ringwraiths would say to Sauron...of course in the original context of the song the meaning is totally different. :p

And the song 'My land' (also from Sonata Arctica) could well be Aragorn's theme song in his Ranger days. Take a look at the Lyrics (http://www.sonataarctica.info/index.php?lyrics-main&en&ecliptica-lyrics&ecliptica#myland) and decide for yourself.

[THE Ka]

If anyone here is really into industrial or darkwave, they'll understand why I chose this song.

Fearless by VNV Nation, reminds me of aragorn in some way...

Here's some of the lyrics... I won't put all of them, because they repeat about five times...

So many little things followed me
So many little things that bothered me. But I found my answer.
From all the chaos that followed me I have found my answer.
I've told you before don't follow me because I am not your answer.

I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy.
These are the words I say to myself everyday.
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy.
Tell me what ritual I should have today.
But I'm not alone. I've resolved so many things and set myself free.

"I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night, well he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be fresh from the fight..."

"No junk foods, just earthly goods, I ate weird berries in the woods, now I'm seeing colours, I'm getting higher, I think I'll start a forest fire!!!"
(Posted in "Things they'd never say" as well, but it fit better here)

Frodo: "Bravely bold Sir Frodo rode forth from Rivendell, He was not afraid to die, oh brave Sir Frodo!"

Merry and Pippin: Schoolhouse Rock "I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill and I'm sittin' here on Capitol Hill" (Please don't ask why...it just came into my brain, and I apologize)

Gollum during his years of wandering around:Learn to be lonely (Phantom of the Opera)

Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness
Who will be there for you
Comfort and care for you
Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion
Never dreamed out in the world
There are arms to hold you?
You've always known
Your heart was on its own
So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to be lonely
Learn how to love life that is lived alone
Learn to be lonely
life can be lived
life can be loved
Alone.

Merry and Pippin 99 bottles of beer on the wall

Samwise- NOw that we're here, we're so far away

Faramir- It's gettin hot in here

ummm I will think of more

[Mark K]

Eowyn could have karaoke'd her way into Aragorn's heart with this
Beautiful South number (slightly altered):


(Eowyn to Aragorn)

Think of you with pipe and slippers,
Think of her in bed.

Laying there all thinking Elvish
Think of me instead.

I'll never grow so old and flabby
That will never be

DON'T MARRY HER - HAVE ME !

And the summer sun shins brightly upon Rivendell,
And you realise that this idyll is a living hell.
You'll have to be all versed in Elvish etiquette,

DON'T MARRY HER - HAVE ME !

[Kath]

No idea why this popped into my head but in the Two Towers film when Arwen kisses Aragorn back to life after he falls over that cliff maybe she could sing Staying Alive - just for laughs.

Gandalf: Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus.

Well . . . slightly modified:

My name is 'lórin.
I am a dreamy Maia.
Then I was sent
To Middle-earth 'coz of Sauron
And all of his orcs,
With Nazgûl, what dorks.
But he doesn't know who I am.
And he doesn't give a damn about me.

'coz I'm just a Third Age Maia, baby.
I'm just a Third Age Maia, baby.
Sent by the Valar with four others like me.

[Cailín]

This is really only funny if you've ever seen the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode:

LEGOLAS:
Look it's a dwarf, he's uncouth and he's coarse
A terrible boor
He makes this run 'cross the wide plains of Ro-han
Hard to endure
The hobbits must be saved
But you'd think he'd find time to shave
I'll take it to my grave . . .
I'll never tell

GIMLI:
Great, it's an elf who's obsessed with himself
What did you expect
I can detect all his sly disrespect
Because he's stiff-necked
So he can run on snow
His only weapon's that dumb bow
There's just one thing that - no
I'll never tell

GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
'Cause there's nothing to tell

LEGOLAS:
He's short
GIMLI:
He's pretty
LEGOLAS:
He thinks his jokes are witty
GIMLI:
He hums some elven ditty
As we run along

LEGOLAS:
He's gross, and hairy
GIMLI:
He acts like he's a fairy
LEGOLAS:
He's stubborn and contrary
Stupid and headstrong

GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
This chase
Is really wearing
GIMLI:
No one taught him about sharing
LEGOLAS:
He thinks wearing brown is daring
GIMLI:
He can be so overbearing
GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
But it's all very well
'Cause I swear I'll never tell

LEGOLAS:
We've lost the hobbits
We're at the end of our wits
We're here at Fangorn Forest
With no hope in sight

GIMLI:
If we go in there
I'll tell you we should beware
The trees are -
LEGOLAS:
Look how the dwarf's scared!
GIMLI:
I'm not frightened, all right?

(Begin Musical Interlude)

(OLD MAN leaps out of Fangorn.)

OLD MAN:
Look at me! I'm Gandalf Greybeard!

(End Musical Interlude)

GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
You know
GIMLI:
He's quite the charmer
LEGOLAS:
My dwarf in armor
GIMLI:
When he sees the caves of Aglarond
I know he can't help but respond
With firm yet supple - stiff-necked elves

LEGOLAS:
He's brave
GIMLI:
He's braver
LEGOLAS:
I've never seen him waver
GIMLI:
He wants to be the savior
Of all Middle Earth

LEGOLAS:
He plays the stoic
Beneath he's quite heroic
Although he'd never show it
I ignored his worth

GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
I lied
I said it's easy
I tried
But there's feelings I can't quell

GIMLI:
Could he learn to live beneath the ground?
LEGOLAS:
Would my people run me out of town?
GIMLI:
Will he think that I'm disgusting
When my armor gets to rusting?
LEGOLAS:
When I go to the Grey Havens
Will he grieve like he's been shaven?

GIMLI:
Am I crazy?
LEGOLAS:
Am I selfish?
GIMLI:
Am I dating someone elvish?
GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
You might think that I'm a cold fish
But this just won't end well
So that's why I'll never tell
I swear that I'll never tell

GIMLI:
My lips are sealed

LEGOLAS:
Silence is gold

GIMLI:
Nothing to see
Move it along

GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
We'll never tell

:D

Sign, sign, evrywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind.
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign.

anyone remember it now.

[Valesse]

Balrog- You are the Wind Beneath my Wings (??)

I both love and hate you for saying that, you know. *wipes tear away*

I feel all naughty for saying it, but Tom and Goldberry: We Like to Smoke Pot! by Rasputina (Come on... we're all thinking it!)
Frodo: Friend of the Illresponsible by Voltaire (I think this one is obvious)
Theoden (after a good De-wizarding): 22 by Frogpond "22... feels like I lost my mind... I feel fine! I feel fine!"
Grima: Lullaby by the Cure
Every orc that ever lived: The Introduction ...of Les Miserables. You know, that chant? "Look down, look down, don't look 'em in the eye" ? (oOoo)
Denethor: Shirt-Waist Fire another Rasputina song.
Legolas: Tiptoe Through the Tulips by Tiny Tim
The Hobbits: Sweethome (Shire) Alabama!
Aragorn: I'm Addicted to Stress I can't remember this artist, either. Get Down Tonight by KC and the Sunshine band.
Denethor to Faramir Why Don't you do Right? by Rasputina. Again.
Dwarvian Mines/Get togethers Anything by Chichanni. I can't understand whats going on, but I like it! (Chicanni = Peruvian folk music group :\)
Ghan-Buri-Ghan and the PUKELMEN!!: Come on (Feel the Noise) "We'll get Wild! Wild, wild!"... "Wild! Wild, wild!"

Then there are things that my mind perveses such as When time stands Still (At the Iron Hill) by Blind Guardian which just strikes me as a great song for marching elves. Everywhere. And singing.

I might could think of more, but, frankly, I'd have to crack out more CDs/mp3s.

Morgoth-Sympathy For The Devil(the rolling stones)

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY!!!!

[The Only Real Estel]

Elrond to Aragorn regarding Arwen:

"But as for Arwen the Fair, Lady of Imladris and of Lorien, Evenstar of her people, she is of lineage greater than yours, and she has lived in the world already so long that to her you are but as a yearling shoot beside a young birch of many summers. She is too far above you. But there will be no choice before Arwen, my beloved, unless you, Aragorn, Arathorn's son, come between us and bring one of us, you or me, to a bitter parting beyond the end of the world."

And so at least the chorus of Just the Girl by Click Five would seem to fit Arwen/Aragorn:

Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep coming back for more
She's just the girl I'm looking for

[The Perky Ent]

I don't know if this has been done before, but...

Elladan and Elrohir

"Double your pleasure, double your fun with
*Double-elf, Double-elf, Double-elf Gum"

[The Perky Ent]

ooo This as well...


Rock 'n Roll All Nite by Kiss. That, of course, would be Tom Bombadil's theme song! :smokin:

[Glirdan]

I know I post this a lot but it really does remind me of them.

White Flag by Dido for when Aragorn comes up the Anduin in the corsair boats and anytime him and Arwen (you big, role stealing, horse stealing, Glorfindel hitting, cheating SCUMBAG!!!!!!!!) together!!!!

[The Perky Ent]

Just read your post, and it was off to iTunes with me. Found the Dido song, and I see your point Aragorn and Arwen wise. But, when I heard the 30s preview, for some reason, the movie Love Actually popped into my head. After going through my CD's, I found the song I was thinking of. And, by such a coincidence, it was also by Dido. So, in conclusion...


Here with me by Dido, for all those times Arwen thinks about Aragorn. The lyrics just seem to compliment the plot of it so well, you'd think it was meant for it.


Lyrics (for those who dont' have the song)

I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
And I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory


Oh I am what I am
I do what I want
But I can't hide


And I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me


And I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me


I don't want to call my friends
For they might wake me from this dream
And I can't leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that's been


Oh I am what I am
I do what I want
But I can't hide


And I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me


I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here


I won't go
And I won't sleep
And I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me


And I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me


Oh I am what I am
I do what I want
But I can't hide


And I won't go
I won't sleep
And I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me


I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here


And I won't go
And I won't sleep
And I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me


I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me

[Glirdan]

That's awsome Perky!!! There's another song that pops into my head for Arwen and Aragorn but I can't remember for the life, I mean death, of me what the song is called or what the Artist's name is.

[The Perky Ent]

I hate to seem like a post spammer, but these songs from the Love Actually CD seem to apply to a lot of people

Jump(for my love) by The pointer Systers, for Nienor

This one is kinda weird, but God only knows by The Beach Boys, for Feanor loving his simarils. Although it may seem weird (because of the whole elf <3 Object problem), it does seem to show Feanor's love for the simarils. Especially the whole 'God (Eru) only knows' part....kinda...

Take me as I am by Wyclef Jean, for Eowyn. Not the song so much, but just the title.

Wowzers. Once again, sorry for seeming like a post hog who refuses to eat the pineapple pizza in front of him.

PS. I love Pineapple pizza

[The Only Real Estel]

Alatar & Pallando, the blue wizards, would no doubt be singing Blue (Da Be De) by Eiffel 65.

I can just imagine them singing "I'm blue da ba dee da ba die..." every step of their journey. :D

Faramir-Tom Sawyer(rush)
the king of the dead-Ghostbusters
anyone during the scouring of the Shire-Eat The Ritch(Aerosmith)

[Gil-Galad]

Boromir - I like to move it

Who else sees Tom Bombadil as a hippie?

I think any good 70s rock song would fit him. No wonder he's my favorite character. I can't think of a good one, though. :(

Gandalf after fighting the Balrog: waiting for the world to fall by Jars of Clay



I'm afraid it's been too long to try to find the reasons why
I let my world close in around a smaller patch of fading sky
But now I've grown beyond the walls to where I've never been
And it's still winter in my wonderland

Chorus
I'm waiting for the world to fall
I'm waiting for the scene to change
I'm waiting when the colors come
I'm waiting to let my world come undone

I close my eyes and try to see the world unbroken underneath
The farther off and already it just might make the life I lead
A little more than make-believe when all my skies are painted blue
And the clouds don't ever change the shape of who I am to You

Chorus
I'm waiting for the world to fall
I'm waiting for the scene to change
I'm waiting when the colors come
I'm waiting to let my world come undone

When I catch the light of falling stars my view is changing me
My view is changing me

[The Only Real Estel]

I could see Sam quitely singing Vanessa Carlton's A Thousand Miles to himself while thinking of Rosie on his long journey.

[The Perky Ent]

Ice Ice Baby for Caradhras (if it could sing)


Won't get fooled again by the Who, for Theodin

and finally,

Heart of Glass for Eowyn

[Legolas in spandex]

As the elven minstrels sang and played in the house of elrond, I imagine the song " Play that funky music white boy". :D :p

[Gandalf_the _white]

I think a good song for Shelob would be Poison by Alice Cooper
And going off the Disney fest earlier I think a wjhole new world from the Aladdin movie would be appropriate for Bilbo and Frodo going to the Grey Havens at the end of ROTK

Well I think that would work better for Feanor, or maybe any of the exiled Noldor.

[Morthoron]

Somebody had mentioned Queen earlier, and there are a slew of their songs that fit different Tolkien characters (at least title-wise):

The WitchKing -- Death on Two Legs ('You're just an old Barrow Boy...)

Arwen -- Who Wants to Live Forever

Frodo -- Seaside Rendezvous

Gimli -- (Just Waiting) For the Hammer to Fall

Legolas -- My Fairy King or The Fairy Fellers Master-Stroke *swoons*

Galadriel -- White Queen

Ingwe -- In the Lap of the Gods

Gandalf -- The Prophet's Song

Sam -- Keep Yourself Alive

Sauron -- One Vision

Lotho Sackville-Baggins -- Tie Your Mother Down

Morgoth -- I Want it All

Elwing -- Spread Your Wings

Gollum -- I'm Going Slightly Mad

Denethor -- Put Out the Fire

Et cetera and so on...

Smeagol/Gollum: Pink Panther Theme Song
Aragorn/Arwen: Safe in the Arms of Love by Martina McBride
Frodo: Happy Girl also by Martina McBride
Sam to Rosie: I Want To Hold Your Hand by the Beatles
Sam to Frodo and Co. at the Grey Havens: Stay Just a Little Bit Longer
Denethor: Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull

[doug*platypus]

Húrin - Another One Bites the Dust by Queen. I can imagine him singing that as he slays trolls in the Nirnaeth.

[Eönwë]

Denethor: Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull
The whole song‽ (40-ish minutes)


I would go for (seemingly obviously):
The Wizard by Black Sabbath for Gandalf in his travelling days. I'm certain that there is a quote somwhere that talks about Gandlaf travelling and spreadng happiness, and this song has that theme.

And for the recent craze in the Captions thread:
Gandalf - I'm too sexy for my shirt etc.

Wouldn't that be cloak?

Or for the Balrog: I'm too sexy for my wings

[Eönwë]

Denethor: Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull
I think that song should go to Faramir or Aragorn, due to their rejecting of the past mistakes of Gondor.

Denethor should have the darker "A Passion Play" by them.

And on that note:
Songs from the wood= Tom Bombadil (or on second thoughts, Sam as well)


Also,

Gwaihir: Any bird or flying song
Elves who cross the Helcaraxe: Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

I think that song should go to Faramir or Aragorn, due to their rejecting of the past mistakes of Gondor.

Denethor should have the darker "A Passion Play" by them.
Well, whatever. That was a long time ago, I can't remember why I thought that would be a good song.

Aragorn's song when he meet Arwen the first time: I Wanna Hold Your Hand by the Beatles

And before he leaves Rivendeland is saying good bye to Arwen: All My Lovin' by the Beatles

[Eönwë]

This isn't for a character, but the 'Downs as a whole (Not based on actual experiences, but still):


Hotel Barrow-Downs - By The Eag... oh...

I had a burning question, no book had the key
The Silmarillion, it would not answer me
So I went onto Google, saw the question discussed
Realised that I should read some more
Click the link I must
There it opened before me
I saw those who here did dwell
And I was thinking to myself,
"I could just look or I could post as well"
So I wrote up my first post and clicked 'Submit Reply'
There were some people posting
Said "to post you first have to 'die' ".

Welcome to the Barrow Do-owns Forum
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Barrow Do-owns Forum
Any time of year, you can find it here.

I'd read a few books of Tolkien, I knew a bit about about Dale
But some here have heavy, heavy books, that they call the 'Tales'
How do they post on the forum, 2+ per day
Some come here for knowledge, some for Werewolf stay.

So I called up Chris Tolkien,
’Please add a new book to the mix’
He said, ’we haven’t had new material since 1996’
And still those Barrows are calling you up from your beds,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to read on threads...

Welcome to the Barrow Do-owns Forum
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place
They're posting on threads at the Barrow Do-owns Forum
What a nice surprise, and they're Tolkien-wise.

I talked to a long-timer,
When I'd just posted twice
And she said ’we are all just prisoners here, of our own device’
And the Mod Gorthad,
They gather to kill spambots
They ban them all with their Mod powers,
But they just find lots and lots

Last thing I remember, I was
Trying to sign out
I had to find the passage back
The 'Downs to live without
’Relax,’ said the wight man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can register any time you like,
But you can never leave!

(inspired by elbenprincess' thread about Elrond's parents (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=16749))

Elrond - Another Brick in the Wall Part 1 by Pink Floyd:

Daddy sailed to search for Aman
Left me just a memory
Mommy morphed into a sea-bird
Daddy, what'd you leave for me?
Mom, Dad, what'd you leave behind for me?
All in all it's just another brick in the wall

Those interested, also check out this thread: Songs of our times that remind you of LotR (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=11390) :) There are, among everything else, for example my explanations why Dido's My Lover's Gone is a theme song for Amarië and why Windmills by Blackmore's Night fits Túrin and Níniel perfectly. ;)

[Galadriel55]

Luthien to Beren - "No one but you - Only the good die young" by Queen
Melirot Brandybuck - "Ring around the Rosy"

Eowin - the song fro Lion King which name I can't remember that goes like this: Oh I can't waaaaaait to be freeeee!

[Aganzir]

Eowin - the song fro Lion King which name I can't remember that goes like this: Oh I can't waaaaaait to be freeeee!
You're probably talking about I Just Can't Wait To Be King which might be a bit weird for her. I mean, she doesn't come across as one who wanted to rule others. ;)
