Song Parodies

[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. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

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. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

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 [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[Maikadurwen]

[Vuelve]

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!

LOL, that was beautiful!
(we got a Frodo song, an Aragorn one, one for Gandalf, and now Gollum! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

[the guy who be short]

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!

More Lion King:

In the Last Home, The Last Homely home
The Dunadan sleeps tonight
In the Last Home, the Last Elven home,
The Dunadan sleeps tonight.


My dad's kicking me off my computer now.

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.

Refrain

This is an old British war march, used as the theme song for the TV series Sharpe, starring Sean Bean. Traditional lyrics at The Richard Sharpe Fansite. Some history of the song at MilitaryMusic.com.

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

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 ....
