The 12 days of Christmas LOTR style!

[Durelin]

Okay, I thought it was getting close enough to Christmas to do this! Sorry if someone else already has, which is likely! I'll start off and only go to two, then I'll take ideas for the rest or for changes to one and two. Here we go! You better all know the tune!

On the first day of Christmas Sauron gave to me,

one ring to rule them all.

On the second day of Christmas Sauron gave to me,

two mighty towers and one ring to rule them all

Your turn! not too many from the same person though! I want everyone's contributions!

On the third day of Christmas, Sauron gave to me: three lovely elf rings, two mighty towers and one ring to rule them all

(Sorry for the rings again, oh well.... there's a lot of birds in the original.)

[ElentariGreenleaf]

On the forth day of christmas Sauron gave to me, four raiths attacking, three lovely elf rings, two mighty towers and one ring to rule them all. <<I you think it isn't very good you can ignor it. Never thought four would be so hard!>>

[Eruwen]

On the fifth day of Christmas Sauron gave to me...
Five Urk-hai slaying, four raiths attacking, three lovely Elven rings, two mighty towers and one ring to rule them all.

Does this have to be from Sauron? And if so, can we switch people next round? This is hard...

[VanimaEdhel]

On the sixth day of Christmas, Sauron gave to me...

Six screaming slaves, five Urk-hai slaying, four raiths attacking, three lovely Elven rings, two mighty towers and one ring to rule them all.

On the seventh day of Christmas, Sauron gave to me...

Seven Dwarven rings, six screaming slaves, five Urk-hai slaying, four raiths attacking, three lovely Elven rings, two mighty towers and one ring to rule them all.

I just had to get the seventh too, in case someone forgot...don't kill me, please.

[Durelin]

How about 4 hobbits smoking and save the wraiths for 9? Oh, and leave out lovely and it sounds smoother!

On the 8th day of Christmas Sauron gave to me,

eight blades of Gondor, seven Dwarven rings, six screaming slaves, five Urk-hai slaying, four hoobits smoking, three Elven rings, two mighty towers and one ring to rule them all.

On the ninth day of Christmas Sauron gave to me,

nine wraiths attacking, eight blades of Gondor, seven Dwarven rings, six screaming slaves, five Urk-hai slaying, four hoobits smoking, three Elven rings, two mighty towers and one ring to rule them all.

Dont worry, won't hurt you for doing 2! Any more though and...those slaves, wraiths and Urak-hai will all be slaying! Had to get Men in there for # 8! smilies/biggrin.gif

[dragoneyes]

on the tenth day of Christmas Sauron sent to me ten orks defacing, nine wraiths attacking, eight blades of Gondor, seven Dwarven rings, six screaming slaves, five Uruk-hai slaying, four hoobits smoking, three Elven rings, two mighty towers and one ring to rule them all.

[Mattius]

hey im not going to add anything but just point out something. shouldn't the five Uruk-hai slaying, be five uruk-hai! and then just go high, like in the real song it goes "five gooold riiings!

On the tenth day of Christmas Sauron sent to me ten orks defacing, nine wraiths attacking, eight blades of Gondor, seven Dwarven rings, six screaming slaves, five uruk hais!!, four hobbits smoking, three Elven rings, two mighty towers and one ring to rule them all.

[Durelin]

Sauron's my favorite Granny! He gives me anything I want and doesn't care about cost! I love him sooo much! I bring him cookies every Wednesday! The big bad wolf has tried to eat me five times but my glowing pink sword warns me so I can run away. Yep.... smilies/biggrin.gif

Awesome word defacing, don't ya think?

[Durelin]

You're right Mattius, okay leave out the slaying bit or whatever. And it's fiiiive goldEN rings! Not five GOLD rings, goldEN! Right! Carry on!

[Diamond18]

If anyone is curious, here (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=17&t=000205) is a LotR/12 Days of Christmas related thread which has a bunch of other Christmas carols too.

Sooooo, ver are ve, my preciousss?

On the eleventh day of Christmas Sauron sent to me eleven spiders stinging, ten orcs defacing, nine wraiths attacking, eight blades of Gondor, seven Dwarven rings, six screaming slaves, five uruk hais!!, four hobbits smoking, three Elven rings, two mighty towers and one ring to rule them all.

[Durelin]

Yeah, I said I thought there would be another one, oh well, I think this one should be different! Excellent one Diamond18! Love those spiders! (Yeah right)

[Erana]

haha!! funny!

[Rose Cotton]

Well, here's my two cents:

On the 12th day of Christmas Sauron sent to me:
12 hungry trolls, eleven spiders stinging, ten orcs defacing, nine wraiths attacking, eight blades of Gondor, seven Dwarven rings, six screaming slaves, five uruk hais!!, four hobbits smoking, three Elven rings, two mighty towers and one ring to rule them all.

I'm sure we can think of another verse.

[dragoneyes]

I think that should be five used settees, otherwise we have two olds right next to each other.

[VanimaEdhel]

Technically, in the original version, it's "Five Gold Rings" not "Five Golden Rings". There's a trill on the "Gold"...random bit of trivia...

[Mintyztwin]

I like the 'insulting speech under a tree'

Thought it might be good since he went to Erebor and all.

BTW, I always thought it to be FIIIIIIVE GOOOOLD RINGs, not golden. But recently in my baby sisters and little brothers disnye cd's it is golden. I'm sticking with gold though.

[Durelin]

That last one by me was lame...oh well! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Mintyztwin]

That's fine. Although I DID do it on purpose. I think it's more poetical. smilies/biggrin.gif Actually, maybe even better would be "Three rosy apples" but, I'll try not to get THAT invovled! 'Kay, my turn!


On the fifth day of Christmas, Pippin gave to meeeeee fiiiiiiiiiive elvish clooooooaaaaaaks! four tasty lembas, three red apples, two pints of ale, and a stone to-o throw down a well!
