Merry_Pippin_Frodo_Sam, Your post gave me the idea to start this thread. Consider this a belated thank you for the inspiration. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Okay, this next one is not so much a scene from Loooey Tunes, but more of an "inspired by" (there's that word again).
There was a cartoon where an opera singer was rehearsing for the big night, and Bugs was up the hill a little ways singing silly songs. The opera singer started to mingle Bugs' songs with his.
With that in mind, here (finally) is the scene:
Weathertop: Aragorn starts to sing the "Lay of Beren and Luthien". Pippin, on one side of the dell, starts to sing the "Bath Song" and Sam, on the other side of the dell, begins to sing, the "Troll Song." This is what Frodo and Merry hear...
The leaves were long, the grass was green,
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is a noble thing!
Tinúviel was dancing there,
To music of a pipe unseen,
But better than rain or rippling streams
Is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
Up came Beren with his big boots on,
Said he to Tinúviel: “Pray what is yon?
For it looks like the shin o’ mine nuncle Tim,
As should be lying in a graveyard!
One moment stood she, and a spell
His voice laid on her: Beren came,
And doom fell on Tinúviel.
“My lad,” she said, “this bone I stole.
But what be bones that lie in a hole?
Thy nuncle was dead as a lump ‘o lead,
Afore I found his shinbone.”
Then through woven woods in Elvenhome
She lightly fled on dancing feet.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
In a fountain white beneath the sky;
But never did fountain sound so sweet
As splashing Hot Water with my feet!
Again she fled, but swift he came,
And called her by her elvish name.
Beren’s leg is game, since home he came,
And his bootless foot is lasting lame;
But Tinúviel don’t care, and she’s still there
With the bone she boned from its owner.
