Whew, just before the deadline! (I've got about 9 hours left in the 27th where I am.) Sorry that I'm cutting it close, but a recent storm has my internet on the fritz.
Anyway, I'm
Gurthang (haven't changed!), and I'm back for the next round. Looking at the list of choices for this weeks number, I saw a lot of great tunes. Being a sentimental type (
), I decided to go with the tried and true.
This song is
I'm A Ringbearer sung by
Frodo Baggins just after he received the Ring and begins to see it's true nature. (Play
I'm A Believer by
The Monkees, which was #1 in 1967, but most of you probably know it.
)
I thought Bilbo was just telling fairy tales
A story he had made up just for me.
The Ring was bound to find me
That's the way it seemed.
He gave it to me and fled the scene.
Then I took his place, now I'm the Ringbearer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
Here's the Ring, I'm the Ringbearer!
I feel it taking over me inside.
I thought it was more or less a little thing,
Seems the more I had it the worse it got.
Why'd he have to leave it?
Hanging on it's chain.
Now all that it's causing me is pain.
Cause I took his place, now I'm the Ringbearer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
Here's the Ring, I'm the Ringbearer!
I feel it taking over me inside.
