My first reaction exactly Lalwendë!!! But I’ll give it a try...

Well, I’d like to see that, Iaurhirwen, as long as it’s not as horrible as my Sauron song…
Or should it be?

Cheers, mates!

Aethelwine.

Let's just say having The Lion King songs running through your head leads to some interesting results - along with people staring at you in the middle of the street.

Now I'm interested Iaurhirwen...

Iaurhirwen · 04-06-2004, 04:45 PM

Here's a list of songs that I have come up with - there in no special order, just how they popped into my head.

1. From The Lion King "I Just can't wait to be King" - Aragorn and Elrond

2. From Beauty and the Beast "It's my ring" (tune of Be Our Guest) - Sauron, Smeagol, Bilbo and Frodo

3. From Titanic "My Heart Will Go On" - Arwen (Aragorn?)

4. From Aladdin "Imrahil" (tune of Prince Ali)

5. From Once Upon a Mattress (the musical I am in right now) "We have an opening for a new king"

6. From The Lion King (Broadway - not movie) "Be Prepared" - Sauron & random orcs

7. From Once Upon a Mattress "Holes of Home" - Frodo & Sam

8. From Aida "Not Me" (about a love triangle) - Eowyn, Aragorn, Arwen

9. From Moulin Rouge "Healing Love Melody" - Eowyn & Faramir

10. From Aladdin "A Whole New World" - Legolas & Gimli

11. "It's a Small World" - The Hobbits

12. "We are the Champions" - People of M-E

13. The Barney Song - Frodo & Sam

14. From Ricki Martin "She Fights" - About Eowyn by Faramir

15. From The Sound of Music "So long, farewell" - Elves of Rivendell

16. From Pirates of the Caribbean "Drink up me Hearties" - Merry & Pippin

17. The song Physical - Legolas's Work-Out Video

18. From Gilligan's Island "The Balad of Middle Earth"

I still need more though!!! Saruman has nothing to sing!!!

Aethelwine · 05-03-2004, 01:47 PM

I don't know a song for dear old Saruman, Iaurhirwen, but perhaps this will be of use to you...

The Script!

It starts with a song from Gandalf...

Enjoy yourself!

Aethelwine.

PS I just read on a little while further, and I can advise you not to! Guess who is at the Council of Elrond? Eowyn. Guess who gets a place offered in the Fellowship? That’s right, Eowyn. Now, I like girl power, but this is stretching it. Eowyn declines, because she must return to her home, to care for her brother. And, ONLY because she doesn’t go, Boromir is there to fill up the gap.
This can’t be true! I am so not going!

Lord of Angmar · 05-03-2004, 02:14 PM

I don't think that is the real script.

Well, I hope it isn't anyway.

Imladris · 05-03-2004, 05:11 PM

Maybe this should be moved the Mirth forum?

I actually think it could work. Could .

I sincerely doubt they will have rock music or anything like that. If the website is any foretelling of the production, it looks as if it will be extremely serious. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they had all of the good old songs that Tolkien wrote in there. In fact, I wouldn't even be surprised if the songs May It Be, Gollum's Song, and Into the West were in there just because a character is obviously singing it (Galadriel = May It Be, Gollum = Gollum's Song, and Into the West could easily be sung by Galadriel). A musical doesn't have songs all the way through it. If we were to count all the songs in Lord of the Rings and put tunes to them, I'd bet that as a stage production LotR would already count as a musical. Not to mention if someone were to dig up the tale of Luthien and Beren for Aragorn and Arwen.

In a way, it would be quite a fun challenge. Naturally there wouldn't be a need for the grand special effects that were in the movie because most of those weren't in the book anyway. In fact, it would be pretty darn easy to do most of the film, since most of it is travelling anyway.
