Theme Songs - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Boromir88 · 12-03-2004, 11:00 AM

Just songs that connect to the characters in Tolkien's books.

Denethor- "Burn baby burn...disco inferno!"

Boromir (Carrying on the Disco family legend)- "Staying alive, staying alive"

Bombadil- "Skippety-do-da Skippety-ay, My oh my, what a wonderful day."

Legolas- "Man, I feel like a Woman!"

Helm Hammerhand- "Ice, Ice, baby!"

King Thranduil- "If I were the king of Lothlorien! What a king I would be-e-e-." (Think The lion, Wizard of Oz).

Yavanna- "Green grass grows all around, all around, and the green grass grows all around."

Gimli (I just picture as a rapper)- "I like big butts and I cannot lie..."

Varda- "Twinkle, Twinkle, little star."

Elven-Maiden · 12-03-2004, 12:18 PM

Oh I love those!

Here are my two cents' worth:

Arwen : Tonight And the Rest of My Life - Nina Gordon
Bormoir : Some Guys Have All the Luck - Rod Stewart
Frodo : Under Pressure - Queen
Gollum : Head Like a Hole - Nine Inch Nails

I'll add more later.

Maeggaladiel · 12-03-2004, 12:57 PM

Sam- I Dig a Pony

Aragorn (to Arwen)- My Immortal

Sauron- Another One Bites the Dust

Eomer- Wild Horses

Gandalf- Clorox bleach song (Gandalf keeps his whites white like the new snow, Gandalf keeps his colors bright like a rainbow, Gandalf keeps his robes clean with the magic, Gandalf's got the magic of Clorox bleach!)

Mithalwen · 12-03-2004, 01:38 PM

Ok - this lot will date me I am afraid

Boromir (because he IS the disco king) "I love to Boogie" T-Rex
Bombadil "All around my Hat" Steel-eye Span
Sam & Gaffer "Father and Son" Cat Stevens ( NOT Westlife - puhleaze)
Merry and Pippin - either Supergrass "Alright" or Rolfie's "2 little boys"......
Aragorn and Arwen "Through the Barricades" Spandau Ballet
Legolas - Carly Simon "You're so vain"
Gandalf - for some reason it has to be C&W so "The Gambler" Kenny Rogers
Treebeard "I want to be a tree"
Elves (as depicted in the films) "Singing meaningless songs in very high voices" The Heebeegeebees
http://www.mikefs.co.uk/HBGB.html

Boromir88 · 12-03-2004, 02:27 PM

I love the responses so far

.

Aragorn: That Lion King Song which I just happen to forget the name of it, but...
"Oh I just can't wait to be king...."

Sam (climbing up the stairs of Cirith Ungol): "Highway to hell."

Faramir: "Papa don't preech, I've been losing sleep."

Aragorn in the Fellowship: "We're going straight to the Wild, Wild west."

Ents: "We will, we will ROCK you!"

Sam: "Aint no mountain high, aint no valley low..."

Merry and Pippin: "Hobbits just wanna have fu-un..." (Actually should be "Girls just wann have fu-un, but I had to change it to fit it's purposes

).

Frodo to Sam: "I will allllways looove youuuu."

Warg: "I aint nothing but hound dog."

Lalwendë · 12-03-2004, 02:49 PM

I think I need to indulge in some silliness

so you might like these:

Eru - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths

Ents (and their Entdrafts) - Feed The Tree - Belly
Hobbits - Short People - Randy Newman

Funny - I always picture Gimli as being a member of ZZTop!

The Only Real Estel · 12-10-2004, 10:02 AM

I picture Gimli as that big guitarist on Bowling for Soup

.

Maeggaladiel · 12-10-2004, 11:16 AM

Balrog- You are the Wind Beneath my Wings (??)

Frodo and Sam while in Cirith Ungol- Boris the Spider by The Who.

Nasgul- Ride of the Valkyries (sp?) or Flight of the Bumblebee I know they can't sing it, but I think it would be cool to have that playing in the background every time they rode somewhere.

Grima- I Can't Get No Satisfaction

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

ninlaith · 12-10-2004, 02:08 PM

Mine is a little different....I just put parts of songs that I think of when i see certain parts of the movie

Denethor: Come on baby light my fire

Pip and Merry: The run is on, the jig is up, they've finally found me

Boromir: Walk like a man

Gandalf: Fly like an Eagle

Frodo: If I could turn back time

Arwen: And I need you now tonight, and I need you more than ever

Aragorn: Wanderer, yeah I'm the wanderer

Sam: Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me

Gollum: Why can't we be friends

Legolas: Walk this way!!! (he's just far too swell for any other song)

Gimli: Hit me with your best shot

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-10-2004, 10:32 PM

Haldir, Rúmil, and Orophin: My Band by D12.

These chicks don't even know the name of my bros
But they're all on me like they wanna hold hands
Coz all they know is what they see in the film
All because PJ wants me dead in Helm's Deep.

Valesse · 08-29-2005, 10:25 AM

I both love and hate you for saying that, you know. *wipes tear away*

I feel all naughty for saying it, but Tom and Goldberry: We Like to Smoke Pot! by Rasputina (Come on... we're all thinking it!)
Frodo: Friend of the Illresponsible by Voltaire (I think this one is obvious)
Theoden (after a good De-wizarding): 22 by Frogpond "22... feels like I lost my mind... I feel fine! I feel fine!"
Grima: Lullaby by the Cure
Every orc that ever lived: The Introduction ...of Les Miserables. You know, that chant? "Look down, look down, don't look 'em in the eye" ? (oOoo)
Denethor: Shirt-Waist Fire another Rasputina song.
Legolas: Tiptoe Through the Tulips by Tiny Tim
The Hobbits: Sweethome (Shire) Alabama!
Aragorn: I'm Addicted to Stress I can't remember this artist, either. Get Down Tonight by KC and the Sunshine band.
Denethor to Faramir Why Don't you do Right? by Rasputina. Again.
Dwarvian Mines/Get togethers Anything by Chichanni. I can't understand whats going on, but I like it! (Chicanni = Peruvian folk music group :\)
Ghan-Buri-Ghan and the PUKELMEN!!: Come on (Feel the Noise) "We'll get Wild! Wild, wild!"... "Wild! Wild, wild!"

Then there are things that my mind perveses such as When time stands Still (At the Iron Hill) by Blind Guardian which just strikes me as a great song for marching elves. Everywhere. And singing.

I might could think of more, but, frankly, I'd have to crack out more CDs/mp3s.

Bergil · 08-31-2005, 04:54 PM

Morgoth-Sympathy For The Devil(the rolling stones)
Sauron-Hell's Bells(ACDC)

on a lighter note

Earendil-Ground Control To major Tom(David Bowie)
Tom Bombadil-Imagine(John Lennon)

And for my namesake-School's Out For Summer(Alice Cooper)

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-18-2005, 01:01 AM

In our Deutsch class, I came across this song. With a little modification, it sounded fitting for Saruman. Hier ist es:

Bunt, bunt, bunt sind alle meine Kleider.
Bunt, bunt, bunt is alles was ich hab.
Darum lieb ich alles, was so bunt ist.
Weil meine Weisheit Torheit geworden.

(I apologise for any wrong grammar or word usage.)

Maeggaladiel · 02-18-2005, 01:27 PM

Saruman's wild men army- "The Fixin' to Die Rag" by Country Joe and the Fish

"Well, gather round, all you big strong men,
Saruman needs your help again,
He's got himself in a terrible jam,
Way down yonder in old Rohan!
So put down your books and bow to the One!
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun!

"And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a fuss!
Next stop is Edoras!

"And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the old black gate,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
WHOOPEE! We're all gonna die!"

Nirvana II · 02-20-2005, 01:13 PM

Denethor-Firestarter, Gene Simmons

Legolas-I'm Too Sexy

Gandalf-When I'm Sixty-Four, The Beatles

Eowyn-Been A Son, Nirvana

Kath · 02-21-2005, 11:13 AM

Hey Nilpaurion I just translated your little poem and it really does fit! Especially if you put in next to the picture of Saruman in bright pink robes on the Crazy Captions thread!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 02-22-2005, 12:08 AM

Oh, and there's my version of the Music That Started It All (i.e. Ainulindalë) here.

05-07-2005, 05:39 AM

Eowyn could have karaoke'd her way into Aragorn's heart with this
Beautiful South number (slightly altered):

(Eowyn to Aragorn)

Think of you with pipe and slippers,
Think of her in bed.

Laying there all thinking Elvish
Think of me instead.

I'll never grow so old and flabby
That will never be

DON'T MARRY HER - HAVE ME !

And the summer sun shins brightly upon Rivendell,
And you realise that this idyll is a living hell.
You'll have to be all versed in Elvish etiquette,

DON'T MARRY HER - HAVE ME !

Kath · 05-07-2005, 05:49 AM

No idea why this popped into my head but in the Two Towers film when Arwen kisses Aragorn back to life after he falls over that cliff maybe she could sing Staying Alive - just for laughs.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-01-2005, 09:46 AM

Bilbo: Wake Me Up when September Ends by Green Day

Gollum: Staring at the Sun by Rooster.

You're probably talking about I Just Can't Wait To Be King which might be a bit weird for her. I mean, she doesn't come across as one who wanted to rule others.
