*chokes with laughter*

Got a few more (I've been watching cartoons, if you're wondering

)

Hobbits: (esp. Pippin): 'The Bare Necessities': Look for the bare necesities/ forget about your worries and your strife/, Old Mother's nature recipes'...etc

the Fellowship: That's what friends are for: "We're your friends/ till the bitter end...'

Saruman (and/or Grima) - Kaa's (the snake) song - come to think of it, Grima strikes me as a very reptilian sort of person

: 'Trust in me, just in me, you can sleep safe and sound, Knowing I am around.'

And for the Nazgul: "Walking in the air": We're walking in the air/ We're floating in the moonlit sky/ And people all around/ Will great us as we fly.' (yeah, with yells and arrows)

Oh and for Aragorn and Arwen this would be their theme song: Once upon a dream, because it illustrates very well the fact that their love mirrors that of Luthien and Beren. Check out the lyrics: (corny as they may be):
I know you
I walked with you once upon a dream.
I know you
The gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
Yes, I know it's true
that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once
the way you did once upon a dream

Ok now- enough of a Disney fest, Tolkien would have been very annoyed cause he hated Disney. Oh well...

Gandalf on Orthanc: I want to fly away- Lenny Kravitz

Frodo: Paranoid- Linkin Park
It's like I'm...paranoid, looking over my back,
It's like a...whirlwind inside of my head;
It's like I...can't stop what I'm feeling within,
It's like a Wheel of Fire is right beneath my skin!

Boromir88 · 12-11-2004, 02:34 PM

Elrond healing Frodo- And a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down, the medicine go down...

Oo, good choice!

How about this for Grima?

"Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl I stalk, both day and night
So happy together...

I can't see me stalking nobody but you,
For all your life!
When you're with me, baby, the skies will be blue,
For all my life!"

'Tis a parody, by a local group called InsideOut, of a more well-known song.

I thought it worked for Grima sneaking around after Eowyn...

Aragorn: Rohirrim Women (American Women-Lenny Kravitz)

Rohirrim Women, stay away from me-eeee;
Rohirrim Women, mamma let me be-eee...

Gollum: 2463 (1985-Bowling for Soup)

...and bring back:
Eggses, and fishing, not knowing 'bout the One Ring,
There was grandma, and Deagol, back when they still called me Smeagol;
My two sides, they argue, 'bout what they think I 'oughta do,
'Cause I'm still regretting me--in 20...20...2463.

Morgul Queen · 12-13-2004, 09:19 PM

Gollum: Behind Blue Eyes. The cover by Limp Bizkit a'cause somehow it seems more Gollumish when they do it, don't ask me why.

Lotho: The Man Who Sold the World, David Bowie!

Gandalf while plotting to 'dispose' of Boromir: Bring me the Disco King, David Bowie!

True, true. The cover has a sadder sound because it doesn't include the middle part that's in the original... "When my fist clenches, crack it open" and all that. *Enca rocks out inside her head, having no tunes with her at present*

Drop It Like It's Hot by Snoop Dogg f/ Pharrell Williams.

Can't get the clicking sound out of my head.

Haha!!!

Only one thing comes to mind now:
Gimli and Legolas to Aragorn: Wherever You Will Go (The Calling)

Yes, Lenny Kravitz covered the song, but it was originally by the great 70’s (Canadian) band, The Guess Who (key members: Burton Cummings & Randy Bachman). 'American Woman' 1970 RCA/BMG by Bachman/Cummings/Peterson/Kale, UniChappel Music Inc./BMI.

Hi Maeggaladiel!

Sauron- These Eyes... er... maybe This Eye.

Do you mean ‘These Eyes’ - also by The Guess Who? Gee, do you think I might be Canadian? And over 35?

Lûthien Nénharma · 04-24-2005, 10:24 AM

The Perky Ent · 09-02-2005, 08:02 AM

There is, and only shall be, one song for the fellowship. it was handed down by the Gods themselves, and given unto man.

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY!!!!

Legolas in spandex · 04-08-2006, 02:18 PM

As the elven minstrels sang and played in the house of elrond, I imagine the song " Play that funky music white boy".

Gandalf_the _white · 04-09-2006, 05:47 AM

I think a good song for Shelob would be Poison by Alice Cooper
And going off the Disney fest earlier I think a wjhole new world from the Aladdin movie would be appropriate for Bilbo and Frodo going to the Grey Havens at the end of ROTK

Morthoron · 07-14-2008, 07:41 PM

Somebody had mentioned Queen earlier, and there are a slew of their songs that fit different Tolkien characters (at least title-wise):

The WitchKing -- Death on Two Legs ('You're just an old Barrow Boy...)

Arwen -- Who Wants to Live Forever

Frodo -- Seaside Rendezvous

Gimli -- (Just Waiting) For the Hammer to Fall

Legolas -- My Fairy King or The Fairy Fellers Master-Stroke *swoons*

Galadriel -- White Queen

Ingwe -- In the Lap of the Gods

Gandalf -- The Prophet's Song

Sam -- Keep Yourself Alive

Sauron -- One Vision

Lotho Sackville-Baggins -- Tie Your Mother Down

Morgoth -- I Want it All

Elwing -- Spread Your Wings

Gollum -- I'm Going Slightly Mad

Denethor -- Put Out the Fire

Et cetera and so on...

Galadriel55 · 10-18-2010, 07:19 PM

Here's one for Eowin, although I don't know the real title:
