These orcs were reluctant to fight as they'd rather be crooning.

• They don't want to go to war - like the orcs that Sam and Frodo overhear in Mordor wanting to set out on their own.

• The lord of the lash, presumably Sauron the Eye with long lashes (really it's a whip) says, "No" in that He wants them to go to war.

Make more sense? Don't worry, when you've heard it replayed in your head about a billion times, it'll sink in.
