A little O/T but still cool

[Angadraug]

I don't know how many of you are Led Zepplin fans but just the other day I was listening to the song "Ramble On" and the last verse goes a little something like this:

Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.
How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air.
T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair.
But Gollum, and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her, her, her....yeah.

pretty cool huh?

Don't know the song, but yeh, pretty cool!

I've heard the song before, and I loved it for that line smilies/biggrin.gif but I believe it has been mentioned in other threads smilies/smile.gif

Yeah, I've heard that. I'm pretty sure that they did more LOTR-related songs, but I can't tell you what they were at the moment.
*does quick search*
Ok;
Misty Mountain Hop
Over the Hills and Far Away
The Battle of Evermore
Ramble On
A Look at Other Indicators, Like Dogs

And apparently you will be shot if you say Stairway to Heaven is Tolkien-related.... smilies/eek.gif

But that is a cool song! good job!

Yes, I wonder how many other songs, whether Led Zepplin or not, have Tolkien lyrics... probably not many, but it's still a possibility... smilies/smile.gif

Here's one for you, very brief reference, but worth it, I believe.

From the Arrogant Worms' "Great to Be a Nerd":
"We hate watching sports
'Cause we're reading Carl Sagan,
But we'd watch the Olympics
If they played Dungeons and Dragons!
(I'm a hobbit! Heh heh heh!)
It's great to be a nerd!
It's great to be a nerd!
We think Tolkien was a genius
And Shakespeare was a turd!"
