Legolas and Linniel On Ice Becoming a Reality *cries in shame* Why, I ask you, Why? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was kidding with my thread entitled "Legolas and Linniel...", but it seems as though it just might come true. Riinamineiel from the Chat gave these links to me. I'm hoping it's a big joke, but I don't know.

Why you ask???$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Fight what you can change and accept what you can't.This sounds like something best left ignored.Then again, one shouldn't judge until the final product is seen.H.C.

True. We were having fun changing lyrics to famous songs and making them fit Lord of the Rings in the Chat. It might be good for a few laughs. Imagine Gollum dancing and singing "Every Breath You Take" while following the Fellowship? That would just be amusing. I still think that if they are going to use songs, they should use Tolkien's original songs from the book, but that's just me.

I kept imagining "The Sound of Music", personally. They are very Sound of Music-esque songs, I think. And I don't think that has been professionally performed...I hope...
