Watch Thranduil as Lady Gaga in this interesting music video of her song Donatalla:

Now, now. What the Elven-king of Mirkwood does in the privacy of his own cave is his business.
That said, it's a good thing he never got hold of the One Ring. Middle-earth would have been one massive beauty pageant.

It's all Lee Pace's fault for playing Thranduil. Women need to learn to control themselves and keep their thoughts unspoken, all those rules they expect the guys to follow. No staring, ogling, etc.

Couldn't watch the video because I don't want some hellish, Lady Gaga earworm stuck in my head.

Did Thranduil wear a meat dress and wear facial horns? Or did he do something more normal, like an Uruk-unicorn-gollum outfit?

I'm afraid I don't agree with you there. It's his people's business if he spends too much public money and neglects affairs of state. Perhaps this behaviour contributed to the lax security that led to 13 prisoners escaping? Also, could the dwarves complain that he inflicting his singing on them is tantamount to torture?

Not as bad as Vogon poetry, but still...

I'm sure he afterward blamed it on the Dorwinion wine, or a "vast, Noldor-wing conspiracy" from Galadriel to humiliate him and allow for Lórien to take over in Mirkwood.

Tolkien did say, 'I have never heard what happened to the chief of the guards or the butler'; so perhaps there was a cover up, the King pointing out that as they all messed up in this matter, no one should speak of it again.
