Theme Songs

[The Only Real Estel]

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]

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!

[Encaitare]

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.

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*

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

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

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

[Boromir88]

Galadriel: (The Pizza Bagel Bites theme song)

Lembas in the morning,
Lembas in the evening,
Lembas at supper time,
When you got Lembas in the wrappings,
you can eat Lembas anytime.

[narfforc]

Istari, Istari night
Is that wizard Blue Or Grey.
GANDALF

Please allow me to introduce myself
I`m a Maia of wealth and taste
Been around for a long long age
Saw Melkor fall from grace.
SYMPATHY FOR SAURON (THE TROLLING STONES)


I fell in to a burning crack of fire
Went down down down
And the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns
The Ring of Power
The Ring of Power

Lust is a burning thing
And it made
A fiery ring
Flamed by wild desire
I fell in to a crack of fire

The taste of fish is sweet
When both of my teeth meet
But I went really wild
When I got back my Precious child.
(This has got to prove that Johnny Cash was a Tolkien fan)The Gollum Song

Actually Johnny's wife June Carter-Cash wrote the song, so she was secrectly the Big Tolkien fan of the family.LOL (leave it to me the self - proclaimed "walking country music dicionary" to know stuff like that. anyway)


Aragorn -'Was I right or Wrong' - Lynyrd Skynyrd
"Like a restless leaf in the autumn breeze
Once I was a tumblin' weed
Like a rollin' stone, cold and all alone
Living for the day my train would come "



Eowyn- 'Redneck Woman' - Gretchen Wilson
"Well I ain't never been the Barbie doll type."


Aragorn to Arwen - 'When I Think About Cheatin' '- Gretchen Wilson
"When I think About cheatin' I just think about you leavin
and how my world would fall to pieces if I tossed your love away
even when I'm temped by some stranger oh there's never any danger
I just think about you leavin when I think about cheatin' "



Aragorn (again sorry lol) - Forever - Kid Rock
" Oh I'm back the fog is lifted the earth has shifted to raise the gifted
you knew I'd be back so pack your bone and hit the road Jack cause daddy's home."



Thats all for now. Toodles

Haha!!!

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

[THE Ka]

getting into a "pyro" mood...


Denethor: My little shirtwaist fire by : Rasputina

My Little Shirtwaist Fire
Once it started
The frail and fainthearted
Just withered to the floor
Oh, so sadly
We examined hands burned badly
By that which no man fears more.

The terrible flames of
All that remain of
My Little Shirtwaist Fire...

Or one kind word from
One who loves them but
What I have earned is mine-



Yes, just wonderful?

~Rasputina Ka

Hi The Only Real Estel!

You wrote:

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!

You posted:

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?

[The Only Real Estel]

Ah, well, whoever did it .

[Maeggaladiel]

Yeah... that song would work too, Lostgaeriel. I was thinking of a Cher song, which I now realize probably wasn't called "These Eyes." Ah well.

Denethor and Boromir: Disco Inferno (Hey, the ultimate father/son song! It works for both of them!)

Gollum- Me and my Precious ("Me and my Shadow")

[THE Ka]

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

Hmm... Maybe then they'll trade in hugo weaving for David Bowie...That would be awsome... Wait though! They would get rid of boromir and that no good at all... Okay, Sean stays and Ian and Bowie join forces to dispose of Hugo Weaving... Besides, he was much better in Adventures of Pricilla the Desert Queen. Such a wonderful movie.

[Lûthien Nénharma]

Aragorn to Arwen - Love song by elton john or will you be my babe

Boromir- I will Survive

Denathor- Let it burn


Bombadil - mmmm bop, mmm um bop, that one really wierd song by Hanson or whoever

Frodo - Im not ok, (I promise)

Merry and Pippin 99 bottles of beer on the wall

Samwise- NOw that we're here, we're so far away

Faramir- It's gettin hot in here

ummm I will think of more

[solarisa]

only thought of one : orc: "toxic"~britney

[Kath]

To pay homage to that love triangle set up by PJ:
Arwen/Aragorn/Eowyn - Run to You ~ Bryan Adams

And for the recent craze in the Captions thread:
Gandalf - I'm too sexy for my shirt etc.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Gandalf: Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus.

Well . . . slightly modified:

My name is 'lórin.
I am a dreamy Maia.
Then I was sent
To Middle-earth 'coz of Sauron
And all of his orcs,
With Nazgûl, what dorks.
But he doesn't know who I am.
And he doesn't give a damn about me.

'coz I'm just a Third Age Maia, baby.
I'm just a Third Age Maia, baby.
Sent by the Valar with four others like me.

[Cailín]

This is really only funny if you've ever seen the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode:

LEGOLAS:
Look it's a dwarf, he's uncouth and he's coarse
A terrible boor
He makes this run 'cross the wide plains of Ro-han
Hard to endure
The hobbits must be saved
But you'd think he'd find time to shave
I'll take it to my grave . . .
I'll never tell

GIMLI:
Great, it's an elf who's obsessed with himself
What did you expect
I can detect all his sly disrespect
Because he's stiff-necked
So he can run on snow
His only weapon's that dumb bow
There's just one thing that - no
I'll never tell

GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
'Cause there's nothing to tell

LEGOLAS:
He's short
GIMLI:
He's pretty
LEGOLAS:
He thinks his jokes are witty
GIMLI:
He hums some elven ditty
As we run along

LEGOLAS:
He's gross, and hairy
GIMLI:
He acts like he's a fairy
LEGOLAS:
He's stubborn and contrary
Stupid and headstrong

GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
This chase
Is really wearing
GIMLI:
No one taught him about sharing
LEGOLAS:
He thinks wearing brown is daring
GIMLI:
He can be so overbearing
GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
But it's all very well
'Cause I swear I'll never tell

LEGOLAS:
We've lost the hobbits
We're at the end of our wits
We're here at Fangorn Forest
With no hope in sight

GIMLI:
If we go in there
I'll tell you we should beware
The trees are -
LEGOLAS:
Look how the dwarf's scared!
GIMLI:
I'm not frightened, all right?

(Begin Musical Interlude)

(OLD MAN leaps out of Fangorn.)

OLD MAN:
Look at me! I'm Gandalf Greybeard!

(End Musical Interlude)

GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
You know
GIMLI:
He's quite the charmer
LEGOLAS:
My dwarf in armor
GIMLI:
When he sees the caves of Aglarond
I know he can't help but respond
With firm yet supple - stiff-necked elves

LEGOLAS:
He's brave
GIMLI:
He's braver
LEGOLAS:
I've never seen him waver
GIMLI:
He wants to be the savior
Of all Middle Earth

LEGOLAS:
He plays the stoic
Beneath he's quite heroic
Although he'd never show it
I ignored his worth

GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
I lied
I said it's easy
I tried
But there's feelings I can't quell

GIMLI:
Could he learn to live beneath the ground?
LEGOLAS:
Would my people run me out of town?
GIMLI:
Will he think that I'm disgusting
When my armor gets to rusting?
LEGOLAS:
When I go to the Grey Havens
Will he grieve like he's been shaven?

GIMLI:
Am I crazy?
LEGOLAS:
Am I selfish?
GIMLI:
Am I dating someone elvish?
GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
You might think that I'm a cold fish
But this just won't end well
So that's why I'll never tell
I swear that I'll never tell

GIMLI:
My lips are sealed

LEGOLAS:
Silence is gold

GIMLI:
Nothing to see
Move it along

GIMLI / LEGOLAS:
We'll never tell

[The Perky Ent]

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!!!!

[The Only Real Estel]

Elrond to Aragorn regarding Arwen:

"But as for Arwen the Fair, Lady of Imladris and of Lorien, Evenstar of her people, she is of lineage greater than yours, and she has lived in the world already so long that to her you are but as a yearling shoot beside a young birch of many summers. She is too far above you. But there will be no choice before Arwen, my beloved, unless you, Aragorn, Arathorn's son, come between us and bring one of us, you or me, to a bitter parting beyond the end of the world."

And so at least the chorus of Just the Girl by Click Five would seem to fit Arwen/Aragorn:

Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep coming back for more
She's just the girl I'm looking for

[The Perky Ent]

I don't know if this has been done before, but...

Elladan and Elrohir

"Double your pleasure, double your fun with
*Double-elf, Double-elf, Double-elf Gum"

[The Perky Ent]

ooo This as well...


Rock 'n Roll All Nite by Kiss. That, of course, would be Tom Bombadil's theme song!

[Eönwë]

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY!!!!

Well I think that would work better for Feanor, or maybe any of the exiled Noldor.

[Legolas in spandex]

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]

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

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Nienna: Absolutely (Story of a Girl) by Nine Days.

[Morthoron]

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...

[TheGreatElvenWarrior]

Smeagol/Gollum: Pink Panther Theme Song
Aragorn/Arwen: Safe in the Arms of Love by Martina McBride
Frodo: Happy Girl also by Martina McBride
Sam to Rosie: I Want To Hold Your Hand by the Beatles
Sam to Frodo and Co. at the Grey Havens: Stay Just a Little Bit Longer
Denethor: Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull

[doug*platypus]

Húrin - Another One Bites the Dust by Queen. I can imagine him singing that as he slays trolls in the Nirnaeth.

[Eönwë]

The whole song‽ (40-ish minutes)


I would go for (seemingly obviously):
The Wizard by Black Sabbath for Gandalf in his travelling days. I'm certain that there is a quote somwhere that talks about Gandlaf travelling and spreadng happiness, and this song has that theme.

Wouldn't that be cloak?

Or for the Balrog: I'm too sexy for my wings

[Eönwë]

I think that song should go to Faramir or Aragorn, due to their rejecting of the past mistakes of Gondor.

Denethor should have the darker "A Passion Play" by them.

And on that note:
Songs from the wood= Tom Bombadil (or on second thoughts, Sam as well)


Also,

Gwaihir: Any bird or flying song
Elves who cross the Helcaraxe: Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin

[Galadriel55]

Here's one for Eowin, although I don't know the real title:
"Oh how I wiiiiiish to be FREEEEEE!" - lion king

[Thinlómien]

Those interested, also check out this thread: Songs of our times that remind you of LotR There are, among everything else, for example my explanations why Dido's My Lover's Gone is a theme song for Amarië and why Windmills by Blackmore's Night fits Túrin and Níniel perfectly.
