Well now, this is interesting!

The bow of Legolas was singing.
becomes: "The elbow of Legolas sang."

hmm... I never really thought of an elbow as particularly musical m'self.

Here's the end of Sam's song he sings in Mordor in ROTK:

I will not say the day is done,
nor bid the Stars farewell.

I do not say that the day takes place,
still offered departure the stars is.

what Samwise would think of that, I can only guess.

And the One Ring????
A ring aiming to lay out they a, a whole ring, to find it a ring, to take it all and in blackening bind them.

Eowyn's line "Begone, foul dwimmerlaik, lord of carrion! Leave the dead in peace!"
becomes: Begone, opposite with the rule dwimmerlaik, Lord carrion! leave deaths in peace!

I tried to do some more... but my internet connection is being fussy.
I hate dialup!
