Middle Earth Idol - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

*Alcarillo storms out of the audition room*

They'll be sorry! One day they'll hear my music everywhere and they'll be sorry they didn't say yes! I'll be bigger than Elfin John, bigger than Aredhel Franklin! You'll see my name up in lights and you'll say "Dang! Why didn't we say yes to Alcarillo." Those guys made a big mistake, I'm telling you! A big mistake! They'll see one day! A big mistake!

*Alcarillo is escorted out the doors by security guards*

*raises eyebrows at Alcarillo*

The pressure was rising as the week went on in Bree, as well as the dead. Not far away the Barrowdowns were being devved for ancient talent as well as bizzare yet highly fashionable ornamentations. Some of the citizens of Bree were shocked at the sight of a fully grown man adorning his head a sauce pan... ..His gimmicy attire did not put-off the judges, however, and he among many others advanced to the semi-finals when several other contestants' dreams were crushed...

This is parody'd from Dana Lyons Cows With Guns. Some of it is left original. It is now a myth/song that dwarves sing in while the work in their mines. It is the legend about how the the Kine of Araw rebelled against the Easterlings.

Sung by an old veteran who has "seen everything" in a kind of raspy, low voice, in A Minor. The stanzas look really weird unless you know the phrasing. Heres a link to hear the original song and a free flash video to go with it. This is the flash video to hear the tune.

The Great Kine Uprising
arranged and vocalized by Elu Ancalime

Fat and docile, big and dumb
They roam in the grass, they shade in the Sun
Kine aren't fun

They eat to grow, grow to die
Die to be ate by those Easterling guys
Kine well done

When the Kine were hunted, it was the end of their day
But then one came to save them, it was.....Orome.
Savior's Come

He found the last herd, and none of them knew
That the Balcoth were coming, and Wainriders too
Kine doldrums

He declared they must fight, escape or they'll die
The Kine gathered around, cause the steaks were too high
Bad cow pun

The oxen were rallied, like a cattle supernova
They charged into battle at the sound of the Valaroma
Kine with Guns

But then one was captured, stuffed into a grate
Loaded onto a wain where he rode to his fate
Kine got bummed

He was a scrawny calf, but he had sharp teeth
They were so powerful, he should have had a sheath
Shelob's Son

The bolts were all rusty, so he bit them all hard
He could have killed a dragon, and shamed the King Bard
Cow well hung

Knocked over the wain and ran for the hills
The strength he showed could have powered six mills
Run Kine run!

He borrowed the Valaroma, and called all his kind:
"We are free roving bovines, we are the Kine"

We will fight for Kelvar freedom
And hold our large heads high
We will run free with the Uruk-hai, or die
Kine with Guns

They crashed the gate in a great stampede
It was the Easterling capital, and their Seed and Feed
Kine have fun

Orome piled Wains in a heap
Covered in cow pies, covered up deep
Much cow dung

Black smoke rising, darkening the day
Everyone stopped to watch, even Melkor and Manwe

We will fight for Kelvar freedom
And hold our large heads high
We will run free with the Uruk-hai, or
Kine with guns

Then Sauron said "Enough is enough
These uppity cattle, its time to get tough"
Cow dung flung

The Mouth told all, Rhun sighed with relief
Tomorrow at noon, they would all be ground beef
Kine on buns

The Kine were surrounded, orcs were on their way
Now they needed another savior,
But only Gandalf the Grey
Kine out gunned

The order was given to kill, by Sauron's evil seagull
The only one worried was poor little Smeagol
But on the West wind, they saw something regal

It was thier deliverence from Mandos; it was Wizards-on Eagles

That was a bland performance in my opinion. It was a good song, you can sing but you lack the presentation. There was no life in that song it was like 'so what?'. Granted people may like you when they hear you but they'll neither remember you nor the song, I won't be surprised if a month from now somebody says, "Hey, remember that Elu guy from Middle-Earth Idol?" and get a "Who?" in return. Anyway I'll let it pass for now since I'm in a good mood. You're a lucky man, its a yes.

Valesse · 03-27-2006, 08:18 PM

Unfortunately, with great opprotunity comes great heartbreak... something that this particular contestant found out the hard way during today's auditions. We caught up with him after the security officers removed him from the competition hall.

Do you think the judges' ruling was fair? Why?

My axe is brilliant
My love is pure-

--Thats quite alright, Alcarillo, I'm sure you have a truely terrorific voice... but we..er..uh have a Mt. Zoom commercial coming up soon...

so theres no time for any of that. Next Question!

Is there anything else you'd like to say to our judges?

Quote:

I'd like to tell the judges that they must be crazy not to let me through to the next round. My voice is far more beautiful than any of the voices they said yes to. Those judges made the biggest mistake of their careers not saying yes to me. They'll be sorry! One day I'll be famous!

...Thank you for your time, Alcarillo.

Thank you Sleepy Cowell. Perhaps it comes off as tacky at first, but it is truly an epic and a lad's tale at the same time. It should have put a grand image in ones mind.

Dog, that wasn't the best performance I've heard but it wasn't that bad either dog. I'll say yes for now, but I can't promise anything else dude.

Elu Ancalime · 03-27-2006, 09:33 PM

Well, you know what they say, save the best for last...

*A panoramic scene of a rocky, yet magnificent landscape. The unnaturally perfect man and woman- and their precocious kids- look out over it, then back at their tiny little Austin Mini.*

VOICEOVER: "Ever feel that your car's too small? Ever wonder if you should upgrade?"

*Images shift to a white background, with Mt. Zoom circling slowly in the middle, showing off its features*

VOICEOVER: The all new, 2006 Mt. Zoom is loaded with special features like power windows and seven-disk CD players. Expanded from the 2005 model to include more seats for the whole family, and a second Crack of Zoom.

*Image shifts to Mt. Zoom's interior. The unnaturally good-looking Mom and Dad are smiling as Dad takes the wheel. The kids roar in delight as Mt. Zoom takes off into the craggy, yet gorgeous, landscape beyond.

VOICEOVER: Now available from all Goomba Motors dealerships, for a limited time only.

Interesting, very interesting. I suppose I will give you a yes, though I don't know how long you'll last. But who knows, you could surprise us.

Nice commercial Formendacil!
