Hawkwind
A College friend of mine was/is really into Hawkwind, so one time he plays this old (1982) album of theirs called 'Choose Your Masques' which was decent enough, I guess. Anyway, my friend then claims that the first track is actually all about the Lord of the Rings. Sure enough the lyrics follow general themes from Wars of the Ring, but right at the end there is a really eerie sample that sounds so convincing that it may have even been lifted straight from a radio adaption of LoTR. Amongst some strange atmospheric noises it goes:
"I have come. But I do not choose now to do what I came to do..."
