Song Parodies

[good idea at the time]

Hey there! This was inspired by Eruwen's Poem. I wanted to post it, but I didn't want to hijack the thread and change it from poems to song parodies, so here's my new thread. I wrote this to the tune of Blink 182's "All the Small Things." That song just so happens to be really good for parodies. I also wrote a spoof about smurfs and another about sub-atomic particles to it. Kudos again to Eruwen! This isn't nearly as good as the excellent Dr. Seuss Poem, but I had fun with it:


All the small things
Hobbits and rings
Pippin's silly
Merry's witty
Always, I know
Sam's helping Frodo
Watching, waiting, commiserating
Say it ain't so, the ring's gotta go, off to Mount Doom, wanna go home.
Na, na...
Fight orcs, and wraiths
this quest's not safe
And off to Mordor we will go, we'd rather be at Bag-end though!
Say it ain't so, the ring's gotta go, off to Mount Doom, wanna go home
Na, na...
Say it ain't so, the ring's gotta go, off to Mount Doom, wanna go home
"Pippin's hungry still." "What's a Silmaril?" "My precious, gollum" "Whatever happened to Bill?"

[Max]

Very cool little hobbit friend. We wants more. He He He

Maxdout

[Merry_Pippin_Frodo_Sam]

oh yeah! Blink 182!

you know what song i could picture Frodo singing?? to Gandalf:
I Will Survive

First I was afraid, I was petrified, just thinkin' i could never live without you by my side.. but then i spent so many nights thinkin' how you did me wrong, and i grew strong! and i learned how to get along!
and so your back!
yeah.
anybody can add or make this one better if they want, when it comes to songs i'm not the greatest.

[Meela]

i started adapting "Beautiful Stranger" by Madonna, and came up with Mysterious Ranger. unfortunately, my knowledge of the lyrics is bad... so excuse anything out of place.

Dah dah dah dah.... etc...
Mysterious raaaaanger....

Havent we met,
Youre some kind of mysterious ranger,
You could be good for me,
I have a taste for the danger.
If im smart then i'll run away.
But im a hobbit so i guess ill stay.
Havent you heard?
We're leaving Bree with a mysterious ranger...
I looked into your eyes...
And i strained my neck from the stretch.
Youre a king in disguise,
but thats not until chapter two (book two...)

thats as far as ive got...

[Sauron999]

i have tried to make a parody out of i will survive but in my version it's Sauron singing to the ring. you can read it in the "101 things that no character would say in the LOTR" or sth like that next one i'll try will be
Without me (eminem) but that will take some time i guess.

[Sauron999]

So here it is, Sauron: Without Me (it's quite ok but i guess there's someone out there who can do better) Enjoy:

Guess who's back
Back again
Sauron's back
Tell elf-friend
Guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back
guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back na nana
[Verse 1: Sauron]
I've created a monster, cause nobody wants to claim my ring no more
they want Gandalf, I'm chopped liver
Well if you want Gandalf, this is what I'll give ya
A little bit of wraiths mixed with some great vigour
Some knives that'll jump start Frodo’s heart quicker
than a shock when he’s got pierced at the shoulder

by the ring-wraith when I'm not co-operating
When I'm rockin Mount Doom while he is exploding
you waited this long, now stop debating
Cause I'm back, I'm on the rag and i’m power-ganing
I know that you got a job Ms. Eowyn
but your father's heart problem's complicating
So the WC (White Council) won't let me be
or let me be me, so let me see
They try shutting down their Palantirs
But they feel so empty, without me

[Chorus: Sauron]
Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody, just obey me
Cause we need a little, controversy
Cause it feels so empty, without me
I said this looks like a job for me
So everybody, just follow me
Cause we need a little, controversy
Cause it feels so empty, without me

[mordor136]

hey this suppoosed to be like american pie though off beat at times...

A long long time ago
In a place not far away
All free peoples were under attack
So halflings stood up to say
We know that if we had our chance
Then we could make old Sauron dance
and maybe we'd have peace for a while
Well Cadharas made me shiver
With every orc head i'd deliver
Nazgul on the doorstep
Couldnt take one more step
the day poor Gandalf died

And we sang bye bye mr. wizard guy
your our friend your our mentor
now you just went and died
well that whip grabbed your legs
and with your last breath you cried
go on you fools and just fly
go on you fools and just fly

For a long time we were on our own
until back from death Gandalf had flown
thats not the way its supposed to be
in Edoras we saved the king
then we met ol' treebeard green
get nearly hit by a shiny ball
later Frodo saved us all
the day great Sauron died

and we were singin bye bye Mr. Sauron guy
outsmarted by a wizard's and a hobbit's plight
well you were tough and we put up a fight
singin this will be the day that you die
this will be the day that you die

THE END
i wrote this during first period
i know i didnt rewrite the whole song but i couldnt think of more hope you liked it BYE

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Brinniel]

Hehe. Those were all funny, especially the Blink 182 and Eminem song parodies.
I think "Lose Yourself" would work good as a parody, but unfortunately, I don't know all the words to the actual song. Besides, I don't think you'd want me to write it; I'm a terrible songwriter! smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Evisse the Blue]

LOL! Wonderful! What talented songwriters we have here! smilies/biggrin.gif The Eminem one ruled! (I love Eminem). Brinniel, go ahead, try your hand at "Lose yourself". Here's a link to the actual lyrics if it helps: lyrics (http://www.musiclinks.nl/songteksten/Eminem/11309.html)

[Sauron999]

I agree, these are really got parodies (including mine smilies/biggrin.gif ). Let's try to make this thread more popular!
And let's try to find some songs worth parodying (is that an english word? *g* )
Worth trying would be CCR's "I put a spell on you"Any other ideas?

[Brinniel]

Thanks, Evisse! I'll start on it tomorrow and try to make it good (I'm terrible at rhyming).

[Tower of Moon and Shadow]

This is an attempt at Incubus Make Yourself.
It Refers to the ring Sauron is singing


If I didn't make it,it would have been made
somehow.
If I didn't make it,it would be destroyed
by now.
If I didn't make it,I would be dead right
now.
Powers that would have swallowed me up,
but thats more than I can allow.
Even though I made it,I didn't make it
invincible.
At a distance it's strong,until the cracks
come then it tumbles and falls away.
If you let it screw you,there will be no
foreplay.
But rest assured it'll screw you complete,
til' your dead and decayed.
You should try to unmake it.
If only for better health.
But if you really want to live.
Why not destroy it yourself.
If I din't make it,it would be gone by now.


All the words were not changed some fit where they were already.

All of you guys have done great! Yay! I love what everyone's come up with! And I've now got "American Pie" stuck in my head. smilies/smile.gif

[dragoneyes]

I can only think of two verses to this but I'll go ahead with it anyway.

Consider yourself, our mate!
Consider yourself, one of the fellowship.
We've tacken to you, so strong!
It's clear we're going to get along.

Oh we're taking a ring right up to Mordor,
gonna throw it in the fire.
But if you think that you're gonna go all the way,
Then I think you must be wrong!

Consider yourself, our mate! etc...

That was the fellowship singing to Borromir.

[-Imrahil-]

Funny stuff. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Nimrothiel]

I did this one awhile back, it's another variation of All the Small Things.

All the Small Things sung by Frodo

All the small things, dwarves and halflings.
I'l take the One Ring, if Gandalf's leading.
Always! I know. Samwise will follow.
Watching, helping, loyalty everlasing.

Why must it be so?
I shouldn't have to go;
But if Gandalf leads on,
Then I will follow.

na na na...

Dark as night in Mordor.
Bruised and beaten on the floor.
Samwise brought orc-clothes through the door,
I shall wear them nevermore.

Why must it be so?
I shouldn't have to go,
But if Gandalf leads on,
Then I will follow.

na na na...

*musical inturlude*

Why must it be so?
I shouldn't have to go,
But if Gandalf leads on,
Then I will follow.
Sam support me still,
With your stong will,
Help me go on, or the quest'll come to nil.

Sam support me still,
With your strong will,
Help me go on, Help me go on
Or the quest'll come to nil.

[Nianna Telmnar]

You guys are great at this! Hmmm...let me see...I'm not nearly as adept at this sort of thing but here we go. This covers the fellowship of the ring.
(to the tune of 99 red ballons)


Hobbit sitting in the shire,
Recieves a powerful ring and a mission dire;
Set out for Bree at the break of dawn,
Hide from the wraiths,till they are gone.
Meet a man with a secret name,
Trusted by Gandalf; a ranger of fame;
Follow him now into the unknown;
As the nazgul nine, try to hunt them down.

Up upon the moutainside,
The nazgul nine, have arrived;
Frodo panics, puts on the ring;
Gets himself stabbed, by the witch king.
Hurry now to Rivendell;
Frodo is not looking well.
Glorfindel helps to save the day,
As the nazgul nine, are quickly swept away.

Elrond with his power strong, Gandalf with his story long.
Time to worry, worry, super scurry,
Call out the fellowship in a hurry.
Frodo with his heavy ring,
3 more hobbits, seem just the thing.
Men and elf with dwarf alongside,
And one grey wizard, follows as their guide.

The chosen nine journey far, fight with a mountain, but lose the war.
Now deep into the earth they go,
And the way out, know one knows.
Evil attacks, Gandalf holds it at bay;
No longer nine, they sadly walk away.

Lothlorien with trees of gold, a most lovely sight to behold.
High in trees sits the Lady fair,
Voice of silk, and piercing stare.
Look in her mirror with both hope and fear;
Views of the future, always seem unclear.

The fellowship is no longer whole, but they continue stil, towards their goal.
One is dead, two more are lost;
Taken by orcs at a great cost.
Frodo and Sam head into the gloom,
to destroy the ring, in the dark flames of Mt. Doom.

(whew! that was harder then i thought! hope it came out alright.)

[dragoneyes]

aww, stop doing songs which I don't know. I can't sing them to myself otherwise. smilies/frown.gif

[Meela]

i think it was dude wheres my ring, the fan fic... there was a really good parody of shania twains "that dont impress me much" smilies/smile.gif

[Ithaeliel]

I'm trying my hand...........
This is from System of a Down's "Arials"

Life is a waterfall/ with one in the river and one to get up to the fall
Swimming through the void we hear the words/ we lose our rings but we find it all
Cuz we are the ones who wanna slay/ orcs that wanna go but they never wanna stay
We are the ones who wanna choose/ always wanna fight but will the Fellowship ever lose....?

Black ringwraiths/ in the sky/ when you lose the ring they'll end your life.......

Life is a waterfall/ we drink from the river then the elves came and put up their walls
Swimming through the void we hear the words/ we lose our lives but we find it all
Cuz we are the ones who wanna slay/ orcs that wanna go but they never wanna stay
We are the ones who wanna choose/ always wanna run- but the balrog's gonna loooooose!!!!!!

Oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh..............

Nazgul steeds/ in the skies/ when you lose the ring they'll end your life
Big red eye/ so up high/ when you hear gollum's eternal cry

(repeat)

Aaaahhhhhh.......... (etc.)

Lame-o-rama, but the best I can stir up at the moment.

[mordor136]

hey i think I'll do Puddle of Mudd's "She hates me"

Found this ring thought it was grand
put it on and found out first hand
just as my second dinner was through
Gandalf said here's what we doooooo

the wole ring concept I cannot grip
I was in for a year long trip
this guy strider saved our skin
then he said he was the king of men

Oh yea, I hate it
just
I really hate it
ha ha ha hate
heres my charge
to go to mordor and find this mountain
and cast it away

Way back when the white tree was in flower
and the dark lord was still in power
these guys from gondor and the elves got mad
found out the rings not just a passing fad

poor old gandalf died when he slipped
then ol' boromir finally flipped
then I started to realize
were getting folowed by big round eyes

that ring I hate it
just
I freakin hate it
ha ha ha hate
melt the ring
gollum ripped my finger off
now I'm short one la la la

thats my story as seen by me
hoped you liked it if so please tell me
now it's over and i'm really sad
man this song is really bad

oh that ring I hate it
la la la la

hope you ad fun reading this
comments wanted (good or bad)
preferably good

[Meela]

HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!! *falls off chair from over-laughing

"Poor old gandalf died when he slipped
Then ol' Boromir finally flipped"

that is the best thing i have ever read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Meela]

just noticed the rest of the song!!!!! smilies/biggrin.gif

"these guys from gondor and the elves got mad
found out the rings not just a passing fad"


I TOTALLY LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! smilies/biggrin.gif

[mordor136]

thanks(blushes) and theres more where that came from. I just rewrote skater boy
----------------------------
RANGER DUDE
----------------------------
He was a guy
she was an elf
could they be anymore opposite
he could be king
she always sings
what more could love bring
he wanted her
but shed never tell
the secret that she wanted him as well
and all of her kin they stuck up there ears
and they had a problem with his shaggy beard

He was a ranger dude
she said see you later dude
he wasnt good enough for her
he used his sword with grace
but she still got in his face
he needed to see what he was worth

Years after that she sat at home
making a sail that would soon be flown
a messinger came
his message was plain
in the sand a line was lain
she calls for her dad
he already knows
he sent his sons to help with the show

he was a ranger dude
she said see you later dude
he wasnt good enough for her
now he has traveled far
in battle he raised the bar
he showed arwen just what hes worth

thats not the whole song but i think thats enough

I like that very much, even though I've never heard the song you based it on. smilies/smile.gif

[Tower of Moon and Shadow]

That is a large improvement over the orginal song. I actually liked it

[Lostgaeriel]

Parodies of songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber & Meatloaf can be found at If LotR had been written by someone else!? (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=1265). These two were posted by Ulmo but I’m not sure if he wrote them or just copied them from another website.

My parody of Ian Hunter's Cleveland Rocks/England Rocks is also there on the first page of the thread. It's just silly. smilies/smile.gif

Oh yes, I highly recommend Lostgaeriel's "Cleveland Rocks" spoof. It's a treasure. smilies/wink.gif

[Orual]

How about "The Red" by Chevelle? A little hastily done, but it fits...

Take the Ring
And you're singled out
The rest
Will follow you

So lay down
The threat is real
When the Nine
Are seen again

(Seeing red again....
Seeing red again...)

This burden
He cannot bear
Took a guide
He could not trust
When he asked
If Sam agreed
The truth
Wasn't hard to guess

So lay down
The threat is real
When The Eye
Goes red again

Seeing red again (x a lot of times)

So lay down
The threat is real
When the Nine
Are seen again

So lay down
The threat is real
When The Eye
Goes red again

So lay down
The threat is real
When his sight
Goes red again

Seeing red again...

Heh, I love that song. The last chorus isn't changed at all, but I thought it rather fit anyway.

~*~Orual~*~

[Nazgûl]

Very nice. This song is based on ZZ Tops Sharp Dressed Man.


Fat bod, hairy feet he knows exactly what he's got to do.
Green cloak, silver chain He's not missing a single thing.
They come running just as fast as they can cause every wraith's crazy about the halfling man.
Cloak clasp, magic ring he not missing a single thing.
Mithril and Sting we stabbed him but he didn't die.
They come running just as fast as they can cause every wraith's crazy about the halfling man.
He's got Sam he's got sting but he doesn't worry cause sting is phat.
Fuzzy feet, short bod
looking scared, looking for Doom.
They come running just as fast as they can cause every wraiths crazy about the halfling man.

I no it is not reel good but it is the best I can do. smilies/rolleyes.gif

[mordor136]

hello again i am ready to do another songthis one is a parody of All Star

a wizard once told me
this ring was gonna own me
its already messin with my head
under that warm sun
he said war had just begun
and if we dont fight we'll all be dead

[bridge]
well evil is coming
and it dont stop coming
our men take one look
and then they start runnin
it dosent make sense just to turn and run
in my head a plan has begun
there is so much to do for you and me
so you better get movin on those flat feet
do your feet get cold in the snow
you'll never know if you dont GO

[chorus]
hey now you gotta go far
so you better leave today
hey know theres this nice bar
meet me there now i say
to saruman i go
oh and striders just a guy i know

its a rat race
and evils gettin bolder
you think wraiths are scary
wait till you get sober
but the ranger man begs to differ
he says they look just like claudia schiffer
the hold on the gate is gettin pretty thin
back-ups here so we might as well win
the walls are on fire and so are the floors
the stewards gonna die so hes locking all the doors

[bridge]
[chorus]
thanks for listening and thanks for your comments on my other songs

[Nazgûl]

It's not very good but here is a parody of lifestyles of the rich and the famouse by good charlotte.

---------------------------------------------

Always hear it in a bar or read it in a scroll a town that got attacked by orcs. All they do is wine and moan without a house or hole. talkin about how hard life is now. Wish I could kill and taunt all them orcs until they cry cry-y-y-y. If they could spend a day or to walking in one of there victums shoes I think they'd stumble and they'd fall they would fall fa-a-a-al.lifestyle of the mean old orcs there always attacking. If ugly is such a problem they got so many problems think I should burn the. Did you know if your an orc you could kill a life and there's no such thing as 25 to life as long as you've got the worts to prove it. And did you know if you were caught picking a fight the ring would just fight to get to you. I'd like to see them spend a week without Saroman I don't think they would survive.If they could spend a day or 2 walking in one of there victums shoes I think they'd stumble and they'd fall they would fa-a-a-al. Lifestyle of the mean old orcs there always attacking always attacking if ugly was such a problem they got so many probems think I should burn them.(2) Lifestyle of the mean old orcs I'll take the ring, nazgul, and your life just stop attacking. Lifestyle of the mean old orcs(3) smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Diamond18]

I know I didn't change this all that much, but it didn't need that much alteration to fit. (And I liked the lyrics anyway...)

"Ring on the Run"
To the tune of "Band on the Run" by Paul McCartney

Stuck inside this Tower room
Sent inside forever
Never seeing no one nice again
Like you, Samwise, you, Samwise, you

If I ever get out of here
Thought of throwing this Ring away
Into the Mountan of Doom
All I need is a pint a day if I ever get out of here
If we ever get out of here

Well, the Watchers exploded with a mighty crash
As we got out on a run
And the first one said to the second one there
I hope you’re having fun

Ring on the run, Ring on the run
And the Frodo Lad and Faithful Sam
Were followed by Gollum
For the Ring on the run, Ring on the run
Ring on the run, Ring on the run

Well, the Giant Spider got an Elven-sword
Thrust up into her bum
And the Eye was searching Middle-earth
For the Hobbits on the run

Ring on the run, Ring on the run
And the Frodo Lad and Faithful Sam
Were follwed by Gollum
For the Ring on the run, Ring on the run

Yeah the Ring on the run, the Ring on the run
Ring on the run, Ring on the run

Well, the night was falling as the desert world
Began to settle down
The Eye is searching for us everywhere
But we never will be found

Ring on the run, Ring on the run
And the Dark Lord who caused this war
Will search forevermore
For the Ring on the run, the Ring on the run
Ring on the run, Ring on the run

Here's one based on Shania Twain's That Don't Impress Me Much. Not much effort on my part.

I've known a few guys who thought they were pretty smart
But you've got being wise down to an art
You think you're a genius-you drive me up the wall
You're a regular original, a know-it-all

Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else

Okay, so you're a Wizard
That don't impress me much
So you got the Staff but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much

I never knew a guy who carried a phial in his pocket
And mithril on his back - just in case*
And all that extra long chain through the Ring oughtta lock it
'Cause Menel forbid it should fall outta place

Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else

Okay, so you're a Ringbearer
That don't impress me much
So you got the Ring but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much

You're one of those guys who likes to shine his weapon
You make me sew up your flag before the fighting begins
I can't believe you kiss your blade good night
C'mon baby tell me-you must be jokin', right!

Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else

Okay, so you've got a Sword
That don't impress me much
So you got the moves but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night

That don't impress me much
You think you're King but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm on the long, cold, lonely night
That don't impress me much

Okay, so what do you think you're Elfstone or something...
Whatever
That don't impress me

* alternate lines for Sam fans:
And some rope in his pack - just in case
OR
And some pans in his pack - just in case

I DIDN'T WRITE THIS!!! But it is very very good, from Dude, Where's my ring? That whole thing is very good. I wonder if the author comes on the forum?
Aaanyway. This is the famous "that don't impress me much", Gandalf singing to Saruman.

I’ve known a few guys who thought they were pretty dark
But you make ‘em look like a few dogs in a park.
You think you’re a dark lord
You build yourself a fort.
You’re a regular villain, can’t swing a sword.
Woo, woo, you think you’re special
Woo, woo you think you’re something else.
Ok, so you’re an Istari gone bad.
That don’t impress me much.
Ah, ah, ooh
So you, got the Orcs,
But honey, got that bunch,
But don’t get me wrong, yeah; I think you’re all right,
But that won’t keep me warm in the middle of the night.
That don’t impress me much,
Ah, ah, ooh
Oh, yeah, yeah
Ah, ah, ooh.
I’ve never know a guy who carried a palantiti in his staff,
And a walky-talky in his socks, just in case.
And a whole bunch of rocks, to throw at the guards,
If haven-forbid they should walk out of place.
Woo, woo, you think you’re special,
Woo, woo, you think you’re something else.
Ok, so you’re a Sauron wannabe!
That don’t impress me much.
Ah, ah ooh,
So you, got the Orcs,
But honey, got that bunch.
But don’t get me wrong, yeah; I think you’re all right
But that won’t keep me warm in the middle of the night.
That don’t impress me much,
Ah, ah, oh
Yeah!

I've thought of an ending for my book: 'and he lived happily ever after to th end of his days. A fine ending, and none the worse for having been used before.

Bilbo

What's that, Bilbo? You say it's OK to do one that's been used before? Cheers...

Picture if you will, Avril Lavigne...


One was a Dwarf, one was an Elf,

Could I make it anymore obvious?

One was real short, and one did ballet,

What more could I say?

Yeah he was a sk8r Elf, we said "see ya later Elf!"

Next you'll see Gimli tryin to surf!

He had a pretty face, but his head was up in space,

We didn't need that in Middle-Ear-u-er-th!!

I see many songs from musicals coming. 'Don't have much talent in writing them, but you could have :

How do you solve a problem like the One Ring? (Maria, from the Sound of Music)

I also see Saruman standing on top of Orthanc singing "the Hills are Alive (with the sounds of music)"

Or the hobbits singing, snubbing Bilbo for going on an adventure to the tune of "Oliver" from Oliver

How about Arwen or Eowyn singing "Bring Him Home" from Les Miserables about Aragorn?

[LePetitChoux]

Blood drops on weapons and sharp fangs on orcses
Black dirty spears and warm fresh new corpses
Ultimate power and twenty cool rings
These are a few of my favorite things!

Seven Palantìrs and corrupted Wizards
Free extra armies and terrible blizzards
Nazgûl that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things!

Orcs in black armour with red eyes on shields
Far seeing eye and blood coveed fields
World domination with the help of One Ring
These are a few of my favorite things!

When the Elves bite, and I lose rings
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember
my favorite things
and then I don't feel so bad!

[repeat]

[LePetitChoux]

Retreat, Retreat I couldn't retreat tonight
My armies are too light to try to pull them back
Stop, Stop I couldn't stop tonight
Not for all the rings in the sack (?!)

I could have slayed all night
I could have slayed all night
And still have begged for more
My Nazgûl spread their wings
And did a thousand things
They'd never done before

I'll never know
What made it so exciting
Why all at once,
My eye took flight

I only know when He
Began to fight with me
I could have slayed slayed slayed!
All night.

It's after three now

Don't you agree now
I really ought retreat

I could have slayed all night
I could have slayed all night
And still have begged for more
My Nazgûl spread their wings
And did a thousand things
They'd never done before

I'll never know
What made it so exciting.
Why all at once my eye took flight.

I only know when He
Began to fight with me.
I could have slayed slayed slayed all night!

I understand, dear.
It's all been grand, dear.
But now it's time to retreat.

I could have slayed all night
I could have slayed all night
And still have begged for more
My Nazgûl spread their wings
And did a thousand things
They'd never done before

I'll never know
What made it so exciting.
Why all at once my eye took flight.

I only know when He
Began to fight with me.
I could have slayed slayed slayed all night!
And still have begged for more.
My Nazgûl spread their wings,
And did a thousand things
They'd never done before.

I'll never know
What made it so exciting.
Why all at once my eye took flight.

I only know when He
Began to fight with me.
I could have slayed slayed slayed!

I'm really sorry about this guys, but I was reading The History of Middle-earth and I came across the part where Frodo is called Bingo and I just had to parody a song!

There was a Hobbit who had a ring and Bingo was his Namo! (bad pun smilies/rolleyes.gif )

Okay, I just thought of this one while I was watching Sailor Moon. Hey, I'm sick and there's nothing on! *shifty eyes*

Sing this to the tune of the Sailor Moon theme song:

Fighting evil by moonlight
Acting kingly by daylight
Never running from an Uruk-hai!
He is the one named Elessar!

He will never turn his back on his friends,
He is always there to defend
He is the one on whom Frodo depends!
He is the one named Elessar!

{musical interlude...la la la la}

Fighting evil by moonlight
Acting kingly by daylight
Never running from an Uruk-hai!
He is the one named Elessar!

His friends are Legolas!
And Gimli the Dwarf!
And Gandalf the White!
And the Rohirrim!

Seeking his kingship of Gondor!
He is the one named Elessar!
He is the one named Elessar!
He is the one--Elessar!

I had a bit of trouble with the second-last section...yes i am extremely bored. How can you tell?

The Gold Hall of Edoras
(as sung by Gríma)

On the dark road from Orthanc, leechcraft on my mind
Wouldn't have to betray them if they weren't so unkind
Up ahead on the high hill, I saw the shimmering Hall
My thoughts grow wicked and my cold sore hurts. One day I'll show them all!
There she stood on the front steps -- I heard the horses neigh
And I was thinking to myself "I've got to find out how to win her someday."
Then she turned and looked at me, stormy eyes were so cold
The Rohirrim rode up to the gate on their steeds so bold

Welcome to the Gold Hall of Edoras
Such a desperate place, such a lonely face
Plenty intrigue at the Gold Hall of Edoras
Any time of year we're devoid of cheer

Theoden's mind I have twisted so to my cunning he'll bend
I tell him that the wizard Saruman has ever been Rohan's friend
How my lady despairs now, locked in her cage
Some days she's the king's nurse, some days she's his page
Soon I'll call her aside, say, "Please listen, my dear:
Your spirit would be happier if you came with me from here"
And still that Eomer thinks he can have his say
So I thought up a few lies to tell and had him dragged away

Welcome to the Gold Hall of Edoras
Such a desperate place, such a lonely face
I'm laying my plots in the Gold Hall of Edoras
Won't they be surprised to meet my allies!

Whispers in the king's ear, poison in his cup
And he said, "I'm so old and tired I might as well just give up"
And all across the Marches they are chasing orcish bands
They fight them with their steely swords but they just can't stop the Hand

Last thing I remember I saw Gandalf at the door
I tried to slip right out of there but they threw me to the floor
"Relax," said Theoden, "I will give you horse and tack.
You can set out anywhere you like but you must not come back!"

Seventy six cave trolls led the big parade,
With a hundred & ten Uruk-Hai close at hand.
They were followed by rows and rows,
Of the finest orcs in hose(?),
The cream of Sauruman's hand.
Seventy six cave trolls feared morning sun,
With a hundred & ten Uruk-Hai right behind.
There were over a thousand breeds,
Srpinging up like weeds,
There were orcs of every shape & size.

Thats as far as I can go. Help me out

[TealDude3]

Here is a song that is sung by the Army of the Last Alliance marching to Mordor. I'm wrote it for my fanfic/parody, so please don't take it.

Queen's "We Will Rock You"

Playin' in the fields gonna be a Dark Lord some day
You got mud on yo' face

Kickin' your orcs all over the place
Singin’

We will we will rock you

Sauron you're a dark maia hard maia
Shouting in the fields gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on yo' face
You big disgrace
Wavin' your banner all over the place

We will we will rock you

Sauron you're an old maia poor maia
Fightin' with your eye gonna make you some uproar some day
You got mud on your face
Big disgrace
Somebody betta put you back into your place

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

This one is fairly simple. The theme to South Park.

Gonna have myself a time.

Friendly hobbits everywhere,
Humble folks without temtation.

I'm goin' down to Hobbiton,
gonna leave my woes behind.

Lots of pipeweed day or night,
Hobbits shouting, "Howdy neighbor!"

Headin' on out to Hobbiton,
Gonna' see if I can't unwiend.

Mumble mumble mumble mumble,
Mumble mumble mumble mumble.

So come on down to Hobbiton,
And meet some friends of mine.

anyone know How Can You Mend A Broken Heart by the Bee Gees? it suddenly occurred to me today to change it to How Can You Mend A Broken Sword, sung by Aragorn.

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

This is She Hates Me, by Puddle of Mudd....don't worry lads, there'll be none o' those eff words!

By Frodo to Boromir

Met a Man, thought he was grand
Talked to him, found out first hand
Went well for a month or two
Then it all came unglued

In a mess, that I'm s'posed to fix
Never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
Then I started to realize
He was living one big lie

Boromir wants it
RING!
Boromir wants it
That golden thing
He fought too hard and now he's dead, floating in an Elf boat
Down to Rauros

He was good for half of a year
After that, he began to leer
This Ring, it is hard to bear
With Boromir, always standing the-re!

In a mess, that I'm s'posed to fix
Never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
Then I started to realize
He was living one big lie

Boromir wants it
RING!
Boromir wants it
That golden thing
He fought too hard and now he's dead, floating in an Elf boat
Down to Rauros

{musical interlude: guitar solo}

That's the story, and you see
Learned my lesson and so did he
So now it's over
And I'm glad
I was a fool
Just like he said!

Boromir wants it
RING!
Boromir wants it
That golden thing
He fought too hard and now he's dead, floating in an Elf boat
Down to Rauros

La la la la la la la la la la
That Ring!
La la la la la la la la la la
That Ring!
La la la la la la la la la la
(and now he's dead, floating in an Elf boat)

Aragorn singing I Saved The World Today by the Eurythmics (sp?)

sorry, dont know lyrics, cant do full song

[Lostgaeriel]

Meela suggested that the Bee Gees’ “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” be rewritten as “How Can You Mend a Broken Sword” sung by Aragorn. Here it is!

How Can You Mend a Broken Sword

I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do.
I could always see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow.

And how can you heal a Morgul wound?
How can you stop Frodo from falling down?
Sauron will stop the sun from shining.
What makes Arda go round?
How can you heal this awful wound?
How can a Ranger be the King?
Please help me heal the Ringbearer and let me be the King.

I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could always see tomorrow, no one said a word about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a Broken Sword?
How can you wear Gondor’s lofty crown?
How can you stop Arwen from whining?
What makes Arda go round?
How can you mend this Broken Sword?
How can a Ranger be the King?
Please help me mend my Broken Sword and let me be the King.

So you took a chance
And fell off my hand
But I bet you didn't think that Hobbit would pick you up, no

I already know, I guessed it myself
now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be
unless I get you from the Master

You know that I love you
Why did you leave me, all alone?
Now you know that I’ll get you
For my own

I’m not gonna steal
Gollum: Why won’t you learn,
now it's your turn
To kill,

Kill me that Hobbit
Kill me that Hobbit
Get back the precious, yea yea

I know that you say you want to go back to your master
But it wasn’t like I wasn’t good to you and you know it (don’t act like you don’t know it)
Cos I only want to have you back and keep you with me
Cos living without my precious now is gonna kill me

You don't have to say, what you did,
I already know, I guessed it myself
now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be
unless I get you from the Master

You know that I love you
Why did you leave me, all alone?

I've been working on parodies of three cowboy songs for the past few weeks. I'm still tweaking one, so here are two for now.

The Warrior’s Lament
(sung to the tune of the traditional western song The Cowboy’s Lament aka The Streets of Laredo)

As I walked out on the banks of Anduin,
As I walked near the Great River one day
I spied a young warrior arrayed in his armour,
Arrayed in his arms in a boat he did lay.

Chorus:
“Oh, beat the drum slowly and sound the horn lowly,
Sing a lament as you send me along.
Send me to the great blue Sea; there gulls will watch o’er me;
I’m a young warrior and I know I’ve done wrong.”

“I see by your outfit that you are a Ranger,”
These words he did say as I slowly drew nigh.
“Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story,
Got shot in the breast and I knew I must die.”

“Go say to my father, I loved him, my father.
I did this for him,” then the poor warrior said.
Then in an instant the vision had left me,
I stood still in mourning – my brother was dead.

Chorus:
“Oh, beat the drum slowly and sound the horn lowly,
Sing a lament as you send me along.
Send me to the great blue Sea; there gulls will watch o’er me;
I’m a young warrior and I know I’ve done wrong.”

At this site (http://www.efolkmusic.com/ViewArtist.asp?Artist=Jim+Hendricks) you can listen to free RA Preview of instrumental version of The Streets of Laredo (The Cowboy’s Lament) played by folk guitarist Jim Hendricks. Just scroll down to find it. (You can hear the Celtic roots of the melody.)

The lyrics have many variations. Here are a couple versions:
Thom Stark’s revised lyrics (& song history) (http://users.rcn.com/thomst/laredo.html)

Lyrics from Teddy Blue’s Bunkhouse (http://www.wildwestweb.net/lyrics.html) are similar to those I referred to. My ref. had only the first 2 verses & last verse with chorus as shown here.

The Three Hunters
[Sung to the TV theme song Annie Oakley by Fred Wise and Ben Weisman, © 1958 Charles N. Daniels, copyright renewed 1986 Blen Music Publishing Co. (ASCAP)/Erica Music Publishing Co. (ASCAP)]

I can hit an orc’s eye far away or nigh,
Play, in Helm’s Deep, Uruk-counting games.
I can walk on snowdrifts; distant horses I can spy;
Legolas Greenleaf is my name.

They call me Lego Greenleaf,
Lego, Lego Greenleaf,
Prince of Northern Mirkwood,
With an ‘Ai! Noro lim!’ and a twang, twang, twang
My ridin’ and my shootin’ are real good.

I dig all the gemstones glitt’ring underground -
How the mithril glimmers in moonbeams.
So won’t you come and join me, you’ll love deep Aglarond,
And Gimli Gloin’s son is my name.

They call me Gimli Gloin’s son,
Gimli, Gimli Gloin’s son,
Dwarf above all of the rest,
I shout ‘Hey! Whoa there!’; my axe rang, rang, rang;
Horse ridin’ and tree-cuttin’ aren’t my best.

When a gang of Nazgûl stab Frodo at night,
Or Mithrandir falls with Udûn’s Flame,
I’m the one they call on to try to set things right,
And Elfstone, Strider are my names.

They call me Elfstone, Strider,
Aragorn and Estel,
King of Men of the West,
With a Sword Reforged ringin’ clang, clang, clang
My healin’ and sword fightin’ are the best.

They call me Elfstone, Strider,
Aragorn and Estel,
King of Men of the West.

If you would like to hear the original song, send me a Private Message. I've not found any website that has posted the song. But I have requested the theme from one of a few sites that will e-mail a file. When I get it, I can e-mail it to you or direct you to the website and you can request it yourself.

[ March 12, 2003: Message edited by: Lostgaeriel ]

As it turns out, the theme they sent me was the opening to the TV show but sans the song. The song, sung by Gail Davis, is on The Cowboy Album, a 1992 compilation by Kid Rhino (a label of Rhino Records Inc.)

[Lostgaeriel]

Now this one is based on El Paso by Marty Robbins © 1959 (renewed) Mariposa Music Inc. (BMI).

For those of you who don't know the original, all I've been able to find is a wav file of the first 2 lines sung by Marty Robbins (+ original lyrics) here (http://home.elp.rr.com/ylrebmik/elpaso.html).

My original plan had been to make the last verse about Frodo & Gollum at Sammath Naur. Something like:

From out of nowhere, that Gollum has found me;
Biting my hand for the gold 2Rπ ('two-ar-pi').
Throttled by two loathsome arms that I’d pitied,
One little bite and “My Precious, Good-bye.”

Although it needs some work. (Obviously.)

However, my first verse was from 'The Shadow of the Past' and without adding umpteen verses, I couldn't get Frodo any further along than to Rivendell. Maybe someone else can continue the story.

Imladris

Out in the West Mid-earth land of The Shire,
I learned that I had a magical Ring.
Nighttime would find me in Bag End’s warm study
Gandalf would smoke and Sauron’s Eye would sting.

Tempting and strong was the pow’r of My Precious;
Wicked and evil while casting its spell.
I had to destroy this ‘tri-fel-ling trinket’.
Set off for Bree then on to Rivendell.

One night, a wild young Ranger joined in,
Wild as the West Ocean wi-i-i-i-ind.
Warning and wond’ring, the crowd he was pond’ring,
Knowing my secret, the Ring that I held...

We’re in danger-er-er! He
Questioned my wisdom in using this trinket.
Down went his hand for the Sword that he wore.
His ID was proven by Gandalf’s old letter;
The wise, wary Ranger then bolted the door.

All through the long night we waited in silence,
Shocked by the foul things the Nazgûl had done.
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I sat there.
We had but one chance, and that was to run.

Out through the back door of Barli’s we ran,
Out where the ponies were ti-i-i-i-ied.
But there was not one – we looked cooked and well done.
We paid Bill Ferny for one we can’t ride...

…So we walked fast as we
Could from the North Kingdom village of Breeland,
Into the Wild lands that we did not know.

Back at the Pony, my life would be worthless.
Everything’s gone in life, nothing is left.
It seems so long since I’ve seen the green Shire;
My love is stronger than my fear of Wraiths.

I saddled up and away I did go,
Riding alone in the dar-ar-ar-ar-ark.
One recent ev’ning a Black blade did find me.
Tonight, nothing’s worse than this pain in my heart...

And at last he-ere I
Am on the hill overlooking Bruinen.
I can see white water rushing below.
My Quest is right and it pushes me onward,
Down to the Ford with the Great Ring I go.

Off to my right I see five mounted Nazgûl;
Off to my left ride another Black four.
Splashing and snorting, As-fa-loth won’t fail me;
I have to make it to Elrond’s back door.

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
A deep, freezing pain in my si-i-i-i-ide.
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle,
I’m getting weary, unable to ride...

But my love fo-or My
Precious is strong and I rise where I’ve fallen.
’Cause I am weary I cry, ‘Elbereth!’
I see the Ringwraiths like smoke on the water.
I feel the knife-shard go deep in my breast.

From out of nowhere, Lord Elrond has found me;
Healing my wound as I sleep on pillows,
Cradled by two loving arms that I’d die for,
One little kiss and “Sam Gamgee, Hullo!”

he ate them all in just one bite
Sauron ate the hobbits of the world...

to the tune of Gossip Folks by Missy Elliott

[People in background chatting]
Saruman - Yo, yo yo move out of the way
We got Sauron the Great Eye coming through
Legolas-Girl that is Sauron he lost a lot of weight.
Arwen-He is so thin that you can't see his body just that big eye.
Bilbo-I heard he has this strange obsession with rings.
Gandalf-Well I heard he only wants one.
Elrond-Hey Hey, here he comes now......

[Sauron]
When I walk up in the piece
I ain't gotta even speak
I'm a bad mamajama big eye stupid halfling you ain't gotta like me
How bout Bilbo
Need to talk what he knows
And stop talking bout the One Ring Gandalf you jus mad it ain't yours
I know theres nine of ya'll
Ya'll job jus to make me fall
Step to me get burnt like toast
the fellowship thats a real joke
tot-tal con-trol
I don't brag I mostly boast
From the Mordor to the Great Sea coast
Izzy kizzy eye see you!!

LoL sorry that one just came to mind. Eye see you lol thats lame I know. smilies/eek.gif

[Evisse the Blue]

Half an year later, I'm reviving this thread to add my pathetic excuse of a parody to Eminem's 'lose yourself'. Well - if nobody else did it, I just had to do it. This song positively asks for a ME- style parody. Anyone else is most welcome to have a better shot at it. In the meantime here's my version:

lose yourself

(Look, if you had, one shot, one opportunity, to seize the thing you always wanted, the One Ring, would you capture it, or just let it slip?)

His palms are sweaty,
knees weak, arms are heavy
there's vomit on his elf cloak already:
Galadriel's lembas,
but on the surface he looks calm and ready,
to cast the Ring down,
but he keeps clutching it then and now.
The whole world goes so still,
He reaches for it and -
there goes his will;
he's claimed it, how everybody's trembling now,
'could be all over now, time's out, over, bleoah!

Snap back to reality, oh, there goes gravity,
oh, there goes Gollum, he kicked poor Sam Gamgee,
He’s so mad but he won’t give up that Ring
Is he? No; he won’t have it, he knows – all his slinkety ropes
They don’t matter no more
He knows that but he’s broke,
So obsessed and he knows it,
He’d better go capture the Ring and hope it won’t pass him.

Refrain:
Lose yourself to the Ring NOT,
The moment you own it,
You better quickly let it go,
You only get one shot,
Do not miss your chance to throw it
This opportunity comes once in an age,
You better, lose yourself….

Gollum’s got his Precious now, Sauron could be escaping,
The world is his for the taking
Make him king as we move toward a new world order.
Frodo’s life was boring, but Ringbearing’s close to post mortar
The Ring only grows harder, it only grows hotter,
The Eye is all over him, the Nazgul all on him
Coast to coast he’s known as the Middle Earth trotter,
Lonely roads, Eru only knows
He’s gone farther from home, and he’s missing a finger
He goes home and barely knows his own Shire
But hold your nose, ‘cause here it comes, the hot lava,
Gollum fell with the Ring and now he’s cold product.
We move on to the next age, rejoice, Sauron passed and left nada,
So the epic is told and unfolds, I supposed Frodo’s doomed now,
Cause the Cracks of Doom go: dada dum, da dum da da.

Refrain:….

[Brinniel]

Ack! I've been writing a "Lose Yourself" parody for the past six months (it got lost in my old computer and I finally managed to retrieve and finish it). Looks like you beat me to it. Your parody's pretty good, though, Evisse. Mine's a bit different, so I figure I might as well post mine, anyway. So here we go: two "Lose Yourself"s in a row.

(Oh, and just so no one gets confused: the first and third verses are about Frodo and the second is about Aragorn. Also, I might mention that some of the lines from the original song remained the same; they just fit in too perfectly.)

Look, if you had one chance, one opportunity
To save all of Middle-earth

One moment
Would you do it or just let it slip?

His palms are sweaty, arms weak, chest is heavy
He's been stabbed twice already, Sam's spaghetti
He's worried, but on the surface he looks calm and steady
He walks on, but he keeps on rememberin
What he holds on to, the temptation grows so strong
He pulls out the ring, how he desires to put it on
He's desperate, oh how it's been so long
Then the moment's gone, but time keeps movin on

Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Frodo, he resists
Hes so tired, but he wont give up that easy
No, he wont have it , he knows his paths have been torn
It dont matter, hes worn
He knows that, but hes so alone
At times it seems so cold

He can't wait to get back to his hobbit hole, that's when it's
Back to his home again yo
With the ring gone from him
He better go complete this quest and hope it dont fail him

You better not lose yourself to the One Ring, the moment
You own it, you better let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance, let's go
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

The time escaping, through this hole that its gaping
Gondor is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but royalty means to face the Lord of Mordor
It only grows harder, only grows darker

At Helms Deep, he leads us all into battle
From Gondor to Bree, hes known as Aragorn or Strider
Lonely roads, he only knows
Hes grown farther from home and his girl Arwen
Who gives up immortality to be right by him
But hold on tight cuz here here goes the cold water
Cuz Eowyn likes him now, hes hot topic

She thinks he’s a great guy, he’s fly
She dove for him and got nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
And Arwen’s still his partner, and the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

You better bring yourself to your own fate, the moment
You own it you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance, let's go
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

No more games, I've changed to what you call crazed
Burdened with this ring like I've been caged
I was plain fine in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I've been chewed up and spit out and stripped away
But I kept walkin and every step I keep fightin’
Best believe for this task it’s worth dyin’
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That this darn ring is so enticing
And I cant no longer find a reason not to put it on
Cuz man, these goddarn waybreads dont provide defiance
And its no dream, it’s real, I can’t deny it, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin to keep up without stumblin, and
I don’t want to see the world fall apart in front of me, because of me
Bug eyed drama screamin on and
Too much for me to just
Stay in one spot, whether I like it or not
It has gotten to the point, where I’m stuck
I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up eaten or shot
Success is my one and only option, failure’s not
Sam, I like you, but you can't help me no more
I cannot fail, no, for too long I've fought

So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got

You better not lose yourself to the One Ring, the moment
You own it, you better let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance, let's go
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

Whew! I just realized how long that song really was. No wonder it took so long for me to finish. smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Everdawn]

TealDude3 that was CLASSIC!

On the ANNIE note, here is the revised TOMORROW.

Sauron'll come out tomorrow,
You can bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
Souron'll come.

Just killing about tomorrow
Clears away the orc heads
And the sorrow,
Till there's none!

When im stuck in a day
Thats grey and lonely
I just stick out my sword
And stab
And say!

Sauron'll come out tomorrow!
So ya gotta hang on until tomorrow!
Come what May!
Ill kill Sauron tomorrow!
Your always a Day away!

meh. smilies/wink.gif

Brinniel, yours is so much better than mine! It certainly was worth taking all this time to finish. I was plain fine in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I've been chewed up and spit out and stripped away
But I kept walkin and every step I keep fightin’
Best believe for this task it’s worth dyin’
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That this darn ring is so enticing
This could well be Frodo's hymn smilies/wink.gif

Ok Ringies,Downers,and Gandalf Groupies, here is the much anticipated song parody from me.

Ok so it really wasn't anticipated.Heck, you didn't even know I was writing one.You probably don't even know who I am.But on with the parody.Keep in mind it took me a very, very long time to write this.

To Shakira's "Objection (Tango)" Vuelve presents to you "Objection (Precious)" as sung by Gollum:


It's not your fault that your so irresistable,
And all the damage you'll cause is unfixable.
A stupid fat hobbit came and took you away,
But leave it up to me you'll be mine.
Forever once again!

(chorus)
Objection!The Precious.Its my obsession.
I give it all of my attention.
Loves it forever and never another.
But Bilbo came and took you.
Stupid fat hobbit I'll come and get you.
and use a nice big fishy.
To hit you on the head and take my ring.
Precious, I want my Precious....

Next to the cheap Elven rings you look beautiful.
Thats why in front of the Eye your so visible.
Even Sauron knows small things also count.
When it comes to rings theres no doubt.
Your the best thats come around.

(chorus)
Objection!The Precious.Its my obsession.
I give it all of my attention.
Loves it forever and never another.
But Bilbo came and took you.
Stupid fat hobbit I'll come and get you.
and use a nice big fishy.
To hit you on the head and take my ring.
Precious, I want my Precious....

The goal is to find my Precious.
Why did he have to take you away from me.
Away from me....

That is my Precious and I want it.
Give it back you stupid hobbit.
It is not for thee.Was never meant to be.
And I will bite you, and kick you, then drown you of course.
Fat thief of a Baggins
I'm gonna get you!!

(chorus)
Objection!The Precious.Its my obsession.
I give it all of my attention.
Loves it forever and never another.
But Bilbo came and took you.
Stupid fat hobbit I'll come and get you.
and use a nice big fishy.
To hit you on the head and take my ring.
Precious, I want my Precious....

Give it back, give it back...
Give it back....
To hit you on the head and take my ring.
Give it back.
To hit you on the head and take my ring.
Give it back.
GIve it back!

Guess who's back
Back again
Gandalf's back
He's not grey.
Guess who's back, Guess who's back, Guess who's back, Guess who's back, Guess who's back, Guess who's back, Guess who's back,

Lion King:
From the day we arrive on Arda,
And blinking, step into Anar,
There's more to see than can ever be seen,
More to do than can ever be done.
There's far too much to take in here
This ring that Bilbo has found...
This little thing!
It's Saurons ring!
Keep great and small spellbound

Its the Circle of Gold!
And it enchants us all!
Through despair without hope
Through greed and sorrow
Till we find those cracks
In the Mountain Exploding
And throw in the Circle
The Circle of Gold!
Destroy the Circle!
That Circle of Gold!

This one is silly. But now the song is stuck in my head. It might as well be stuck in yours! (Once again, I apologize for my very poor use of Sindarin.)

My Frodo Lies Over the Ocean Traditional

My Frodo sailed over the Ocean.
My Frodo sailed over the Sea.
My Frodo sailed over the Ocean.
Oh, bring back my Frodo to me.

Refrain:
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Frodo to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Frodo to me.

Last night as I lay on my pillow,
Last night as I lay on my bed,
Last night as I lay on my pillow,
I dreamed that my Frodo was dead,

Refrain

The Elanor’s blooming around me,
The blossoms of Ethuil appear,
The parth clothed in galen surrounds me,
Oh Frodo, I wish you were here.

Refrain

Oh blow ye the winds o'er the Ocean,
And blow ye the winds o'er the Sea.
Oh blow ye the winds o'er the Ocean,
And bring back my Frodo to me.

Over the Hills and Far Away

Chorus:
The Road goes ever on and on,
Upon it all my Friends have gone,
And where it leads no one can say,
Over the Hills and far away.

The troubling Dreams have come once more
To both true Sons of Denethor.
The Wise may know of what they say,
They’re o’er the Hills and far away;

Chorus

Over the Hills and o’er the Plain,
Ever seeking Isildur’s Bane.
The Stew’rd commands, and we’ll obey,
Over the Hills and far away.

Chorus

To serve a Stew’rd of hardened Mind,
One Soldier must go seek and find
Far Imladris, the Dream does say;
It’s o’er the Hills and far away;

Chorus

My Father can spare but one Son,
And cannot eas’ly choose which one.
Then let me volunteer I say,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

In Rivendell’s the Broken Sword;
To find it there - I give my Word -
And hear what Elrond has to say,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

The Sword’s still sharpe; I felt the thing.
But Gondor doesn’t need a King -
In the Wilds let this Ranger stray,
Over the Hills and far away;

This verse was, of course, the whole point of the exercise!

Chorus

Gondor’s been a stalwart Tower
Count’ring Sauron’s growing Power.
Our Citadel shall win the Day,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

The Council spoke; I disagree -
To use the Ring is Vict’ry’s key;
To put Sauron beneath our Sway,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

~

Galadriel—she searched my Mind—
My secret Desires there to find.
What she proffered I pushed away,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

Upon the Lawn of Parth Galen,
Beneath the Feet of Amon Hen,
Poor Frodo must decide his Way,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

I came upon Frodo alone
I asked him for the Ring on loan;
I’d like to try it if I may,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

He argued with me; he refused.
He disappeared—the Ring he used.
To Sauron he would us betray,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

Hark! Gondor’s Horn sounds once again;
In need is Boromir, my Friend.
I must go join him in the Fray,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

Where’s that Fool of a Took, Pippin?
And young Merry, his dearest Friend?
The Orcs have taken them away,
Over the Hills and far away.

Chorus

Go save the People of Gondor!
I have failed; I can do no more.
Forgive me Strider; I now pay,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

He was alone and forc'd to fight,
And thus he earned true Honour by't;
He many Uruk-hai did slay,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

There is no Time for us to mourn;
Down Anduin he has been borne.
The Boat has vanished in the Spray,
Over the Falls and far away;

Chorus

Where have Sam and Frodo gone?
We must ensure the Quest goes on.
Sam’s Pans are gone—they’ve rowed away,
Soon o’er the Hills and far away;

Chorus

~

To please the Stew’rd I have a Chance;
The Ring-bearer’s within my Hands,
Trapped here beneath the Curtain Grey,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

Over the Hills and o’er the Plain,
Ever seeking Isildur’s Bane.
The Stew’rd commands, and we’ll obey
Over the Hills and far away.

Chorus

I vowed I would not take this Thing
Before I knew it was the Ring—
Not if it lay by the Highway,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

O’er Anduin and o'er the Field,
Ithilien we will not yield.
Our Captain leads; with him we’ll stay,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

I hope that I have not done Ill?
Have you Courage for your lord’s Will?
Don’t rashly throw your Life away
Over the Hills and far away!

Chorus

O’er Anduin and o'er the Field,
Osgiliath we will not yield.
Our Captain leads; with him we’ll stay,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

The Sky is dark; I can’t see clear.
Oh where, oh where is Faramir?
He leads his Men from the Causeway,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

He suffers from a Southron Dart,
Fatigue, Black Breath and grieving Heart.
A Fever burns his Life away,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

~

Over the Hills and o'er the Plain,
That’s the Life of the Dúnedain* -
Lord Estel rules, and we'll obey,
Over the Hills and far away.

* Yes, I know it doesn’t rhyme.

Chorus

The Way was shut—the Time is now
For the Dead to fulfill their Vow.
To Gondor’s Aid we can’t delay
Under the Hills and far away;

Chorus

~

Through Drúadan and o'er the Field,
The Pelennor we will not yield.
Théoden leads; with him we’ll stay,
Over the Hills and far away.

Chorus

He is the King of the Ringwraiths;
From living Man he fears not Death.
Hinder me not; thee I will slay,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

The Mark’s Esquire he did ignore—
So stabbed by Blade of Númenor,
He stumbled forward and did sway,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

Dernhelm the young faced greater harm;
His Mace had broken her Shield-arm.
Pierced by her Sword he fades away,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

~

Here rules a Stew’rd that’s lost his Mind;
The Palantír has made him blind.
As heathen Kings—he burns away—
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

When Shadows grow and all Lights pass
Life to the Dying—Athelas!
Upon their Brows the King’s Hands lay,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

For Love Men follow his Command;
A Sword and Healing in his Hand—
That’s how we’ll know the King, they say,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

The Ring has fallen in Mount Doom,
Ever banishing Sauron’s Gloom.
Praise the Ring-bearers! Hooray!
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

My Brother was a precious Jewel.
Sad he won’t see the King’s Renew’l.
As best of Brothers we did play,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

Over the Hills and o'er the Plain,
Through Gondor, Arnor and Rohan,
King Elfstone rules, and we'll obey,
Over the Hills and far away;

Chorus

[One of the Nine]

Ok, I don't have any song parodies, but I do have somethin' weird to share. Boromir's riddle (Seek for the Sword that was broken....) fits almost exactly to a song in my church's hymnal. :eek: It's really weird. My cousin and I figured it out.

[Bombadil]

Terrible Tonight

Its late in the evening,
he's wonderin' what mail to wear.
he picks out his weapon
and swings it right through the air
And then he asks me, "Do I look alright?"
And I say, "Yes, you look terrible tonight."

We go to the battle,
And everyone turns to see.
This horrible creature,
Who's riding on top of me
And then he asks me, "Is your back alright?"
And I say, "no, it feels terrible tonight."

And it's terrible
because I see the hate that's right in your eyes.
And the terror of it all is that,
You just don't realize,
How much they fear you.

It's time for goodbyes now.
It seems that I've lost my head
I watch you get stabbed twice
And hope that you aren't dead.
And then I tell you, as I pass into night.
I say, "Darling, you were terrible tonight."

:( sniff, everyone talks about how evil the Nazgul are- but they have feelings too!

[Nimrothiel]

This is a parody of a song that I'm sure hardly any of you know, but to any Trekkie fans out there, you are not alone.

Hobbit Trackin' to the tune of Star Trekkin' by The Firm

The Nazgul: “Hobbit Trackin’ across Middle-Earth
on our flying beasts,
under the Witch-King.
Hobbit Trackin' across Middle-Earth

[Evisse the Blue]

Lostgaeriel, beautiful filk (of a beautiful song from a beautiful (!) series!
The Sword’s still sharpe *applauds* ;) I always can't help chuckling at this in-joke.
And thanks for the links. Do you by any chance have any links to the mp3 for this song? I know I searched and searched for it and couldn't find it anywhere, as sung in Sharpe's series.

And now if you don't mind I'll parody Over the hills and far away, Nightwish's cover version (originally sung by Gary Moore). (only one of the finest songs known to mankind :p).

Over the Hills and Far Away

The wizard came back one fine spring day,
To travel he was bound,
He spoke to Frodo a strange tale,
The Dark Lord's Ring was found.

The Walkers Nine set on the Quest,
Not a season too soon
Frodo gave in and claimed the Ring
In the fires of Mount Doom.
"You stand accused of robbery",
He heard Smeagol say.
He knew, without a sign from Eru,
Tomorow's dark will mourn his failure.

Over the hills and far away,
For one long age the Dark Lord lay,
Over the mountains and the seas,
A' scheming for the Ring he'd be.

The following verses are about Aragorn and Arwen:

She knew her love would cost her dear,
And yet she had to say:
"I'll give up Elvendome for his sake,
In Middle Earth I'll stay."
She had to fight her father's will,
Her heart beat like a drum.
For even though an Elven still,
She did not wish to part from Aragorn.

Over the hills and far away,
She prays he'll save ME some day,
As sure as Anduin reaches the Sea
Back in his arms she swears she'll be.

Each night, the Ranger stands on guard,
He looks up at the stars,
He thinks about the prophecies,
One day he'll know the taste of kingship.

Over the hills and far away,
He swears he will return one day,
Between the mountains and the seas,
In Gondor's land again he'll be.
Over the hills and far away.

[Bombadil]

To BIlly Joel's: "We didn't start the fire"

Iluvatar, Manwë, Laurelin, Oromë,
Telperion, Aulë, Elbereth Varda,
Cuiviénen,elves are born,
those that turn become orcs
Moriquendi, Calaquendi,
all of them in Arda.

Created earth by song,
but Melkor is too strong
You better run, you better hide Ungoliant is by his side.
Ossiriand, elves green, Melian's a new Queen
Elwë, Olwë, Ingwë, Finwë ones who’ve seen the light.


We didn't start the Eä
it was always going
As the trees were glowing
We didn't start the Eä
Well we didn't light it,
But we tried to fight it.


Fëanor, Silmarils, Fingolfin, said he’d kill
Destroyed the trees, Stole the jewels, Morgoth he was named
Valar sad, Noldor leave, Silmarils can’t help the trees
Yavanna cries, and there they lie by her creation mamed

Teleri killed, Mandos cursed, Fëanor gets there first,
Hopeless wars, unnumbered tears, sudden flames, and many years
Second born, Morgoth mad, Nirnaeth Arnoediad
Eärendil sails to Valinor and rids the world of fear


We didn't start the Eä
it was always going
As the trees were glowing
We didn't start the Eä
Well we didn't light it,
But we tried to fight it.


Turn the page, second age, Akallabeth, men take stage
Numenorë, Atalantë, Elrond’s brother, Dunedain.
Meneltamar, the rising star, men forget the Valar
Sauron captured, Elendil, corruption leading down the lines.

Amandil warns the “Gods,” Manwë mad, now it’s on
Eagle clouds billow in, dieing men and boys and girls
Island breaks from the center, Valinor you cannot enter,
Iluvatar intervenes to change the shape of the world.

We didn't start the Eä
it was always going
As the trees were glowing
We didn't start the Eä
Well we didn't light it,
But we tried to fight it.

Gil-Galad, Elendil, Isildur, Narsil,
Last alliance, all divided, massive war we go to third
Here’s an age of many things, of leaving elves and magic rings
Esgaroth, Smaug the Dragon, he’s defeated have you heard?

Smeagol Gollum, ring is found
To its fate is Sauron bound
Frodo takes it on himself to lead us to a 4th age
Nazgul, shelob, crack of doom,
Fate of Arda’s future looms
End of all things and all the rings WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE TO SAY!

[Vuelve]

Yay ya'll (yes I said ya'll) revived the thread!!! ***Runs off to go write another one.***


Resident 8-ball hustler,
Vuelve

[Elianna]

..........yeah, I didn't know lost of those songs. So here's one that hopefully all will know: The Beatles' "Elanor Rigby", now "All the Uruk-hai"

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Look at all the Uruk-hai!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Look at all the Uruk-hai!

Orc, goblin-men,
Saruman bred them
to fight
for the Ring,
That Precious thing.

Burned Fangorn Forest
to heat his iron
but the Ents
got real
angry at him.
The outcome was grim.

All the Uruk-hai, where do they all come from?
All the Uruk-hai, where do they all belong?


That's all I have. This is only the product of a veryveryveryveryvery boring bus trip, so it might have been better under other circumstances, but oh well.

[headlessmonk]

lol nice job, ppl. I know this is not my original idea, I got it from www.theonering.com, but I can REALLY c Gollum singing 2 Frodo and Sam, when they're on Mt. Doom; Smooth Criminal. lol can't u c that??? I know it's VERY vivid in MY mind. :D

[Oddwen]

I have quite a few parodies, however I'll just link to them.

HERE! HERE HERE!!! (http://www.councilofelrond.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Karaoke&file=index&action=KaraokeViewAuthor&author=Oddwen)

This is one of my first:

Roll Over Oh Tolkien!
To the tune of "Roll over Beetoven" by the Beatles.

Well gonna watch a movie
Directed by a guy called P.J.
It's a rockin' little story
I went to watch it today
Roll over O Tolkien
I gotta see it again today

You know my temperature's risin'
And the book fan's blowin' a fuse
My hearts beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps singing the blues
Roll over O Tolkien
And tell C.S. Lewis the news

I got permanent nausea
The bookies scream "O save us Eru!"
I think we'll mob the writers
Reading Roger Ebert's review
Roll over O Tolkien
Orli fans marchin' two by two

Well if you feel that you like it
Well get your LotR and read and love it
Read it over and move on up
To the Silm and read and love it
Read it over
Roll over O Tolkien
A walkin' in two by two , oh

Well early in the mornin'
I'm a givin' you the warnin'
Say goodbye to light elf shoes
Hey diddle diddle
Say goodbye to Nob's fiddle
So much of the story to lose
Roll over O Tolkien
And tell C.S. Lewis the news

You know she glows like a glow worm
They went a bit over the top
She got a mortal partner
Will she stay an elf or not?
Long as she's got Asfaloth
Arwen will never stop
Roll over O Tolkien
Roll over O Tolkien
Roll over O Tolkien
Roll over O Tolkien
Roll over O Tolkien
And dig these rhythm and blues

[ElenCala Isil]

This is a parody of a song that I'm sure hardly any of you know, but to any Trekkie fans out there, you are not alone.

Ooh, I know it! *feels accomplished*

Phew! That's good to know. Wow, that was a real laugh. *picks self off of floor* Can I adopt that as one of my theme songs? :D

EDIT: Just saw the video... am having trouble getting back on my chair. :D

[Nimrothiel]

Glad you liked it, and you may adopt it as one of your theme songs.
A Wraith with a Scottish accent; I kill me. :D

[Lostgaeriel]

I was feeling very silly when I 'wrote' this one.

Sung to Old MacDonald’s Farm. (E-I-E-I-O!)

Farmer Maggot’s Farm

Farmer Maggot had a farm,
B-A-M-furlong.
And on that farm he had mushrooms,
B-A-M-furlong.
With a mushroom here,
And a mushroom there,’
Here a “mush”; there a “room”,
Everywhere a mushroom.
Farmer Maggot had a farm,
B-A-M-furlong.

Farmer Maggot had a farm,
B-A-M-furlong.
And on that farm he some pigs,
B-A-M-furlong.
With an “oink-oink” here,
And an “oink-oink” there,
Here an “oink”; there an “oink”,
Everywhere some bacon.
Farmer Maggot had a farm,
B-A-M-furlong.

Farmer Maggot had a farm,
B-A-M-furlong.
And on that farm he some beer,
B-A-M-furlong.
With an huge jug here,
And a huge jug there,’
Here some beer; there some beer,
Everywhere some fine beer.
Farmer Maggot had a farm,
B-A-M-furlong.

Farmer Maggot had a farm,
B-A-M-furlong.
And on that farm he had three dogs,
B-A-M-furlong.
With a “Grip! Fang! Wolf!”
And a “Wolf! Grip! Fang!”
Here a “Grip!”; there a “Fang!”
Everywhere a “Wolf! Wolf!”
Farmer Maggot had a farm,
B-A-M-furlong.

[Lostgaeriel]

This is based on the Underdog cartoon theme song.

For those of you unfamiliar with Underdog, you can look up his history and hear his theme song at Toon Tracker (http://www.toontracker.com/).

There's no need to fear! Underdog, um, I mean Aragorn is here (http://specialrealms.com/VM/pics/gallery20.html)! ;)


When Sauron in Mid-earth appears,
And darkens skies that once were clear,
And frightens all who see or hear,
The cry goes up both far and near
For Aragorn! Aragorn! Aragorn! Aragorn!

Sword reforgéd, healing powers;
Fighting evil in two towers.
Aragorn. Aragorn!

When in Mid-earth the Nazgûl speed
To fill the hearts of men with dread,
Committing black and evil deeds;
To right these wrongs with blinding speed
Goes Aragorn! Aragorn! Aragorn! Aragorn!

Sword reforgéd, healing powers;
Fighting evil in two towers.
Aragorn. Aragorn!

[Lostgaeriel]

Some variations on Edelweiss. I’m not sure if it was originally written by Richard Rogers & Oscar Hammerstein for The Sound Of Music or if they just borrowed a traditional song for their musical. Anyway, I’m borrowing it now.

Elanor

Elanor, Elanor,
Every winter you greet me.
Star of gold,
Small but bold,
You look happy to meet me.

Star-bloom of light
May you give delight,
Give delight forever.
Elanor, Elanor,
Bless the Dreamflow’r forever


Niphredil

Niphredil, Niphredil,
Every winter you greet me.
Small and frail,
Bright and pale,
You look happy to meet me.

Blossom of green
May you sway and lean,
Sway and lean forever.
Niphredil, Niphredil,
Bless Lothlórien ever.


Alfirn

Alfirin, Alfirin,
In the green Lebennin fields,
Small and godl,
Ringing cold,
Tall grass thee from the breeze shields.

Sweet bells of spring
May you bloom and ring,
Bloom and ring forever.
Alfirin, Alfirin,
Bless my Gondor forever.


Evermind (Simbelmynë)

Evermind, Evermind,
In my mourning you greet me.
Small and white,
Clean and bright,
You look sorrowful to meet me.

Bright eyes in grass
You mark those who’ve passed,
Those who’ve passed forever.
Evermind, Evermind,
Over green mounds forever.


Athelas

Athelas, Athelas,
When Black Riders come stealing,
Long and keen,
Sweet and green,
Your leaves’ virtues are healing.

Leaf-blade of Kings
May you heal suff’ring,
Heal suff’ring forever.
Athelas, Athelas,
Cleanse all evil forever.

[Lostgaeriel]

The following is based on the Spiderman theme song.

Striderman

Striderman, Striderman,
Does much more than a fighter can.
Heals a wound, any size.
Sings a lay – and he’s wise.
Look out! Here comes the Striderman.

Is he strong? Listen, bud,
He's got partially elven-blood.
Can he fight Five Ringwraiths?
Trust in him and have faith.
Hey, there! There goes the Striderman!

In the chill of night,
At the scene of attack,
Wielding flames red-bright,
He with fire drives them back!

Striderman, Striderman,
Lonely Estel, our Striderman.
Friendship he can’t afford.
Narsil’s shards are his sword.
Look out! There goes the Striderman!

He’s there,
Beside Glorfindel, Elf-lord,
Fighting Ringwraiths at the Ford.
Watch out for Striderman!



Striderman, Striderman,
He’s Elessar, our Striderman.
Fights a war, any size.
Arwen’s hand is his prize.
Look out! Here comes the Striderman.

Is he smart? Listen, bud,
He’s got partially elven-blood.
Mordor’s plans he has read.
Plays Sauron head to head.
Hey, there! There goes the Striderman!

In the morn, alone,
In the Deep’s rocky tow’r,
With a Seeing Stone,
He reveals his true pow’r!

Striderman, Striderman,
Fearless Elfstone, the Striderman.
Wealth and fame make him bored.
Andúril is his Sword.
Look out! There goes the Striderman!

Arwen,
Your love is hope to Estel.
Stitched that flag with your needle.
Sent it to Striderman!



Striderman, Striderman,
Lives his life as a knight-errant.
Takes the Dead on a trip.
Finds a way to the ships.
Look out! Here comes the Striderman.

Is he brave? Listen, bud,
He’s got partially elven-blood.
Ghostly troops he has led.
Goes where men fear to tread.
Hey, there! There goes the Striderman!

In the dead of night,
At the dark Erech Hill,
What a fearful sight –
The Dead bow to his will.

Striderman, Striderman,
Daring Dúnadan Striderman.
Soon to be Gondor’s Lord,
Arwen is his reward.
Look out! There goes the Striderman!

Gilraen:
"Onen i-Estel Edain,
ú-chebin estel anim."
She gave us Striderman!

[Evisse the Blue]

Here's a parody after the song "I'm in love" by John the Whistler.

"No matter what they say,
I'm in love.
I dream things my own way
cause I'm in love.
I can't keep Middle Earth out of my mind,
I'd read Lord of the Rings all the time.

No matter what they say,
I don't care.
I'd read it everyday, everywhere;
Cause Tolkien made a world of his own,
They say that he's a genius,
I'm in love.

No matter what they say,
I'm just fine,
They say that I'm a geek,
I don't mind.
Cause always for the greatness of its style,
I'll read Lord of the Rings, so yeah, I'm in love."

Weak, but you get the point. ;)

[Mark K]

THE RANGER

(Parody of 'The Boxer' by Simon & Garfunkel)

I am called a Ranger but my story’s seldom told
I have well-concealed my lineage, for the sake of all that I hold good on Middle-Earth.
All lies and jest, still the man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest, hmmmm

When my father died in battle, I was no more than a boy
In the company of Elrond
In the quietude of Rivendell, all runnin’ scared
Laying low, seeking out the ancient writings, from an entire Age ago
Looking for the knowledge only Elves would know

Lie la lie ....

When I reached the age of twenty, I saw beauty in the woods, then I thought of Luthien.
It was Elrond’s elven child, Arwen Undomiel.
I do declare, as a mortal, I was full of grief
and took no comfort there, la-la-lah ...

(Instrumental)

Lie la lie ....

So I thus began my journeys, gaining wisdom all along,
I am older than I once was, and younger than I’ll be, that’s not unusual
In the service of Rohan and of Gondor, I have fought for greater good,
Almost sixty years I've fought for greater good

Lie la lie ....

In the Elven Hall of Rivendell I see Isildur’s Bane, lying there
’Tis a broken heirloom waiting to be forged again,
forged again, lying there.

At this Council stands a hobbit, Frodo Baggins with the Ring
And he’ll carry this reminder of the evil pow’r of Sauron that will
haunt him on his journey, for nigh-on forty days,

“I’ll be leading, I’ll be leading, though I do not know the way”
Know the way ....

Lie la lie ....

[Mark K]

One song parody not included so far is the operatic aria.

Scene: Rivendell, as the Fellowship prepare to take the Ring south.

Elrond sees them off with this rousing aria by Mozart.

(Parody of 'Non piu andrai' from 'The Marriage of Figaro')


ELROND

(addressing ARAGORN)

Sheath your sword, hit the road, go on, leave us!
Say goodbye to the Elves and Imladris.
Though I know that your hurting is grievous,
March away anyway without fear!
Though I know that your hurting is grievous,
March away anyway without fear!

(addressing LEGOLAS, GIMLI and BOROMIR)

No more rancour between your races

Put your weapons through their paces

Have your bows and axes tempered
Have your daggers for the Orcs
Have your daggers for the Orcs

(Sheath your sword... you must leave us ... sheathe your sword .. march away)

(addressing the HOBBITS)
Say goodbye to the inns in the Shire now,
No more gardens or Cider with Rosie,
All your hearts must be full of new fire now,
as the Ring makes its way to Mount Doom.
All your hearts must he full of new fire now,
as the Ring makes its way to Mount Doom.

(addressing GIMLI and LEGOLAS)
You, a Dwarf, all drunk and swearing,
hew down Uruks, prove your daring,
You, an Elf-prince, keep on firing
with your arrows, never tiring.
It's an honour—defend the West now,
but alas, no hope of rest now!
(no hope of rest now, no hope of rest now)

(addressing the HOBBITS)
‘Stead of pints at the Green Dragon,
You’ll be marching without flagging!

(addressing Company)
Gaining courage, with that training,
When it’s sunny, when it’s raining,
You’ll have many perils pressing,
Though I know you’ll brook no messing
I will give my final blessing,
Speed ye on towards Mordor !

(You must leave us.., sheath your sword.... march away)

(Addressing ARAGORN)
Act the King, play the role you were born for
Say goodbye to your days as a Ranger.
For the sake of the memory of Gondor,
For the future of all Middle-Earth !
For the sake of the memory of Gondor,
For the future of all Middle-Earth !

Elessar, go on to glory,
as the monarch of Gondor !
as the monarch of Gondor !

[narfforc]

Istari, Istari Knight
Is that wizard Blue or Grey
With him will you go away,
and help the Dwarves to dig for more than coal.

Hobbits write your wills,
In case you meet the thing which kills
That flys on air and rides on hills,
And calls upon you from a withered land.

I dont understand
What it is you want from me
How we suffer this insanity
Just to keep those drunk elves free
They could not abstain, they did not how,
But perhaps they are sober now.

Istari, Istari Knight
Balrogs flaming mane ablaze
With wings that are but smoky haze
Flying from the Bridge it could not do...............................................

Unfinished Tale

[The Elf-warrior]

A parody of "My favorite things" from The Sound of Music sung by Sauron.
Erupting volcanoes, Siamese kittens
Bright mithril armor and black leather mittens
Torturing prisoners tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things.

Black colored ponys and crab apple streudels
Forges and blacksmiths and manflesh with noodles
Fell beasts that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things.

Elves in white dresses burnt down to ashes
Orc whips that flay off the nose and eyelashes
Pâté de foie gras and buffalo wings
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the wargs bite
When my eye stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad.

[Elmo]

I was going to do a parody of the Scottish song 'Loch Lomond' after the reading the conversation between Andreth and Finrod but I thought it was too sad and anyway I don't think I'd do justice to both the tale and the song. This is the part of the conversation that remind me of the song especially.'Andreth adaneth, the life and love of the Eldar dwells much in memory; and we (if not ye) would rather have a memory that is fair but unfinished than one that goes on to a grievous end. Now he will ever remember thee in the sun of morning, and that last evening by the water of Aeluin in which he saw thy face mirrored with a star caught in thy hair - ever, until the North-wind brings the night of his flame. Yea, and after that, sitting in the House of Mandos in the Halls of Awaiting until the end of Arda.'

The song is actually about two lovers who will be separated forever because the man will be executed the next day for being a jacobite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobite_rising).

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o’ Loch Lomond.
Chorus

O ye’ll tak’ the high road and I’ll tak’ the low road,
And I’ll be in Scotland afore ye.
But me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o’ Loch Lomond.

‘Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep side o’ Ben Lomond.
Where in deep purple hue, the hieland hills we view,
And the moon comin’ out in the gloamin’.

The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping:
But the broken heart, it kens nae second spring again,
Tho’ the waefu’ may cease from their greeting.

Here's a beautiful version of the song if anyone wants to hear it...
'Loch Lomond' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uZ-p-tN8Gs)

Sorry if this is too depressing for this thread...

An Idea: "Gondorian Idiot" (American Idiot by Greenday)
And in the film when Sam reaches the scarecrow and says "if I take one more step it'll be the furthest away from 'ome I've ever been (or something along those lines) try "Oh my God" by the Kaiser Chiefs
(for those who dont know the song :rolleyes: the chorous is "oh my god I can't believe it, I've never been this far away from home..........") :D
