The Barrow Downs Musical.

[Evisse the Blue]

Hahahahaha! Somehow the thought of 'Cold be heart' sung to Yellow submarine is very amusing...and a little disturbing. I've been trying to parody My favourite things, but alas, it's more difficult than I anticipated and I gave up...Maybe someone else is up for the challenge.

Meanwhile: - a bit of West Side Story:

New member:

I feel rotten!

Old members:

You are rotting!

Veteran member:

And I'll soon be getting a PT!

All:

In my Barrow,
Yes, I could hardly believe I'm real!

Chorus of members:

I feel wightish, oh so wightish,
I feel black, and yellow, and covered in goo!
And I pity,
Anyone who's not a Downer too!

[Gil-Galad]

I've just though of one that goes with the Trogdor song!

*high pitched beginning* Nazgul!!!

Nazgul!!!

Nazgul!!!

Nazgul were men, then they was a wraith-men, maybe they was just a Wraiths..but there still Nazgul!!!

Nazgul!!!

Terrorzing the Barrow-Downs, Terrorzing the Hobbits, Terrorizing the Elves cause there Nazgul!!!

if thats not true then come again!!! i said come again!!!

and the nazgul come in the niiiiiiiiiiggggggggggghhhhhhhhhttttttttt!!!

[Hookbill the Goomba]

In honour of the Pink Floyd, here is a song about Saruman's rapid determination after getting hold of the palantir.

************************
The Dark side of the Rhún, (to the tune of Brain damage from the Dark side of the Moon)

The Palantir is on the grass!
The palantir is on the grass!
Remembering games,
And daisy chains
And laughs.
Got to keep the wizards on the path.

The Palantir is in my hall
The palantir is in my hall
It holds my folded paper to the floor,
And every day, the paper boy brings more.

And if the Dam breaks open,
many years too soon.
And if there is no Room up on the hill.
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too.
I’ll See you on the Dark side of the Rhún!

The Palantir is in my Head!
The palantir is in my head!
You made the change,
You raised the blade
You re arranged me till I’m insane.

Ents locked the door
And threw away the key
Theres someone in my head, its not me.

And If the clouds burst its,
Thunder in your ear!
You shout and no one seems to hear
And If the band your in starts playing different tunes
I’ll see you on the dark side of the Rhún!

[Encaitare]

Nice one, Hookbill! But then as it says at the very end of the CD....

"There is no dark side of the Rhun, really. Actually, it's all dark."

[Hookbill the Goomba]

*coughs* I think you'll find it says;

"There is no dark side of the Moon really, as a matter of fact, it’s all dark"
or
"There is no dark side of the Rhún really, as a matter of fact, it’s all dark"
__________

Here is another one;
Guess the tune;

************

The Ents go marching;

The Ents go marching
Tree by tree
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The Ents go marching
Tree by Tree!
Hurrah! hurrah!
The Ents go marching
Tree by Tree!
They went with Pippin and Merry
And they all went down to
Isenguard that day!
(Repeat to fade)

[The Saucepan Man]

I posted this in one of the Barrow Downs forum threads in response to something Hookbill said about Pink Floyd and the coming of Sauron. As you can see, despite getting up to no good on the Dark Side of the Rhún, Roger Waters did eventually see the error of his ways:

We don’t need no domination.
We don’t need no Orc control.
No dark enquiries in the Shire land.
Sauron leave that Ring alone.

Hey! Sauron! Leave that Ring alone.

All in all it’s just a-nother
Trip to Mount Doom.

All in all it’s just a-nother
Trip to Mount Doom.

Of course, if you are to make a LotR musical, you need the widest selection of songs possible. So here are some more musical threads to help you on your way:

Song Parodies

Silly Songs with Merry (and Pippin)

Funny lyrics that LOTR characters would never sing

LOTR Musical: what songs????

and my personal favourite ...

LOTR characters and Beatles songs

Oh and Hookbill, your version of Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite risks an action for breach of copywight. Sergeant Saucie's Barrow Downs Club Band already covered it, as you can see here:

Happy Birthday To The Barrow-downs!

And there's more from Sergeant Saucie's Barrow Downs Club Band at the benefit gig that they played at the 2004 Barrow-Downs’ Birthday Celebration! . They are available for weddings, birthday parties, family celebrations and barmitzphas, so book early to avoid disappointment.

Oh right, sorry about that Saucepan, man. I guess I should have done some back cheeking on that song... Lets just call it a cover.
Besides, no matter how early you book, disappointment will always creep up on you, you cannot escape it!

Also, its not a Lord of the rings musical, its the Barrow downs musical... there is a difference... I think...

To avoid being off topic I had better post a song;

***********
Right, here is a song about the Barrow Wights;
To the tune of Humpty dumpty (WOW this is childish! But who cares?)

Mr Wight did sit on the wall
Mr Wight did have a great fall
and all the elves horses,
and all the king's men
Couldn't but Wighty together again.

(silence from a confused audience.)
