LOTR characters and Beatles songs - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Airerûthiel · 07-20-2003, 01:21 AM

As some of you may know, at one point the Beatles wanted to make a movie of Lord of the Rings. It would have starred Paul as Frodo, John as Gollum, George as Gandalf and Ringo as Sam. That got me thinking about which songs you can see characters in LotR singing. For example:

Frodo, Bilbo and Sam: "We live in hobbit holes under the Hill!" (to the tune of Yellow Submarine)
Éowyn to Aragorn: Love Me Do
Uruk-hai to Saruman: "If there's any Ring that you want..."
Arwen and Aragorn's song: She Loves You

If anyone can think of any better ones than these (which I'm sure you lot can!) send them in...I'm curious to see what other Middle-earth characters would belt out in Beatles karaoke.

Actually I can see the Ringwraiths singing this more then I can the Uruk-hai.

Sauron_the_Abhorred · 07-20-2003, 02:57 PM

I imagine Sauron singing Run And HIde to Frodo:

You Better run and hide if you can little man, catch you with my great ring, thats the end-a, littl man [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Lily Bombadil · 07-20-2003, 07:29 PM

I had sudden thought of Boromir singing to Frodo-

Boromir: Yeah I'll tell you somethin'. I think you'll understand. Yeah I'll tell you somethin': I wanna hold your Ring! I wanna hold your Riiiing! I wanna hold your Ring!

purplefluffychainsaw · 07-21-2003, 02:16 AM

Hey Sam don't be afraid
Just follow your little master
Your going to destroy the ring
And then people will rejoice and sing

**Giggles** Hmm... thats the only Beatles song I know. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-21-2003, 07:13 AM

Since I understand that John was down to play Gollum, he might have sung this in role:

We oncsse had a Ring, or should we say, It oncsse had usss.
It was shiny and bright. A beautiful thing. Our preciousss Ring!

"What has it got in its pocketses?", we didn't knows.
He crawled of with preciousss, thief Baggins, curse his hairy toes!"

etc [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Oddwen · 07-21-2003, 02:27 PM

"Two of us" seems an apt song for some occasion.

"Hey Sam, don't make it bad. Take a sad song, and make it better."

"I am the Hobbit"

"When I find myself in times of trouble, Elbereth she comes to me. Speaking words of wisdom, let it be."

Ooh...

"Dear Treebeard, won't you come out to fight?
The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you, dear Treebeard."

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-21-2003, 07:52 PM

Faramir:

Lovely Eowyn shield maid.
Nothing can come between us,
When it got dark I took your heart away.
Standing by the Houses of Healing,
When I caught a glimpse of Eowyn,
Staring out east in her flowing white dress.
In a helm she looked much bolder,
And the shield across her shoulder
Made her look a little like a military girl.

Lostgaeriel · 07-23-2003, 01:15 AM

Carry That Weight re-titled Carry that Ring

(sung by Aragorn, Elrond and Gandalf to Frodo)

Boy – you’re gonna carry that Ring,
Carry that Ring a long time.
I never gave you my heirloom,
I only send you on expeditions,
And in the middle of the celebrations you break down.

Lostgaeriel · 07-23-2003, 01:39 AM

The Tax Man adapted as The Axe Dwarf
(sung by Gimli to Legolas at the battle of Helm’s Deep)

Let me tell you how it will be,
That’s one for you, nineteen for me,
‘Cos I’m the Axe Dwarf,
Yeah, I’m the Axe Dwarf.
Should my stature appear too small,
Be thankful I don’t kill them all,
‘Cos I’m the Axe Dwarf,
Yeah, I’m the Axe Dwarf.
If you shoot an orc, I’ll hack his feet,
If you get one hit, I’ll slash more - three,
If you get real bold, I won’t retreat,
If you pierce two more, I’ll axe thirteen.
Axe Dwarf.
‘Cos I’m the Axe Dwarf,
Yeah, I’m the Axe Dwarf.
Don’t ask me to stop killing orcs
(Axe Dwarf Gimli Gloin’s son)
If you don’t want to play no more
(Axe Dwarf - not Greenleaf),
‘Cos I’m the Axe Dwarf,
Yeah, I’m the Axe Dwarf.
Now my advice for Elves who play,
Declare the goblins you have slain,
‘Cos I’m the Axe Dwarf,
Yeah, I’m the Axe Dwarf.
And you’re playing ‘gainst no-one but me,
Axe Dwarf.

Axe-Dwarf! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] That was inspired, Lostgaeriel. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

I feel that another ode to Gimli's battle skills is warranted (to the tune of Maxwell's Silver Hammer):

Down in Khazad-Dum, the Fellowship all hear the boom of drumming in the deep,
Orcs approach the Tomb of Balin oh oh oh oh.
Gimli Gloin’s son, waiting for to give them some, feigns a mighty sweep,
He’s looking forward to breaking some Orcish bo-o-o-ones.
And as they all pour through the door, a blade swings through the air.
Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe came down upon their heads,
Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe made sure that they were dead.

Now we’re at a tense moment on the battlements, Rohan’s under threat,
Uruk hordes advance on Helm’s Deep oh oh oh oh.
Gimli and Legolas are adamant that none shall pass, so they make a bet,
Who will claim the greatest number of fo-o-o-oes?
So with a cry of Baruk Khazâd, the Dwarf’s headcount begins,
Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe came down upon their heads,
Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe left two and forty dead.

The heir of Isildur is heading for the Pelennor. Gimli’s there again.
Sailing up the Anduin river oh oh oh oh.
Imrahil and Eomer seeing now the newcomers think all hope is gone.
The black sails of the Corsairs tell them so-o-o-o.
But as the White Tree unfurls, their hearts are filled with joy,
Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe once more found Orcish heads,
Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe made sure that they were dead.

Lostgaeriel · 07-24-2003, 09:07 PM

Oh, Saucepan Man! That was brilliant! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I have another parody of Taxman that my little brother and I wrote. I loved Axe Dwarf!

Sauron, by Orominuialwen & High King Fingolfin

Orominuialwen · 08-04-2003, 06:08 PM

Sorry about that. This is like Celebrimbor singing to Sauron.

Sauron
Let me tell you how it will be
There's One for you, nineteen for me

'Cause you are Sauron
Yes you are Sauron

If you take our rings, we'll kill your orcs
If you wreck Hollin, we'll kick your butt
As long as Imladris will shelter us

'Cause you are Sauron
Yes you are Sauron

Annatar you are not
and Orodruin is not to hot

'Cause you are Sauron
Yes you are Sauron

You made One Ring to rule them all
Now Lindon we must call

'Cause you are Sauron
Yes you are Sauron

And you helped the Dark Lord once

By the Dark Lord I mean Morgoth. As a die-hard Tolkien and Beatles fan, I'm relly happy to have found this thread! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Genevieve · 08-05-2003, 12:17 AM

Heehee. These are really good, and I LOVE the Beatles!!

"All the Creepy Nazgul. Where do they all come from?" as in Eleanor Rigby

"Lord Sauron's Lonely Ring CLub Band"

"I'll get the ring with a little help from my "friends"
-Sauron

"All you need is the ring"

"The hobbit under the hill"
as in the Fool on the Hill

"You say you wanna get the ring, well you know. We all want it too"

"Back in the Shire"

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Sorry, I kind of went on a roll. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Lord of Angmar · 08-05-2003, 09:00 AM

How about Sam Singing of Frodo: "He was a ringggggg bearer. He bore the One Ring, yeahhhh" to the tune of "Daytripper".

Orominuialwen · 08-05-2003, 03:04 PM

I found this one in the book A Tolkien Treasury

Middle-Earth
(to the tune of Penny Lane)
Middle-Earth, there is a tavern on the eastern road
There travelers will find it's tables full of cheer
And when the inkeeper brings the beer
He may lend an ear

Middle-Earth, well hidden deep in the Old Forest's leaves
Tom Bombadil maintains a house of cobbled stone
To which he brings Goldberry home
From the rivers edge
To his bed

Middle-Earth, beneath the stars, below the sun
Where the seedling of Telperion
Is planted, elsewhere back

Middle-Earth, We see a hobbit in his hobbit-hole
He keeps it clean although it's dug into the ground
And though he spends a lot of time in town
Still he's been around

Middle-Earth, beneath the stars, below the sun
Where the Norland waters run
Ere sunlight, elsewhere back

Middle-Earth, we see the wizard with his staff of oak
His flowing beard is colored like newfallen snow
His fireworks light up the fields below
And his smoke rings glow

Middle-Earth, the wizard smokes his pipe contentedly
We see the hobbits walking humming to the inn
And old Bombadil rushes in
From the river's edge
To his bed

Middle-Earth, beneath the stars, below the sun
Where the seedling of Telperion
Is planted, elsewhere back
Middle-Earth

Orominuialwen · 08-07-2003, 10:02 AM

I have a new one! Elanor Gamgee instead of Eleanor Rigby.

Orominuialwen · 08-29-2003, 12:26 PM

My brother and I have struck again! Our newest one is to the tune of Drive My Car.

Take the Ring
I asked young Frodo what he wanted to be
He said "Gandalf, can't you see?
I want adventures, like uncle Bilbo
Even though I don't know where to go"

Frodo you must take the Ring
Or aid to Sauron it will bring
Frodo you must take the Ring
Or Sauron will get it

I told Frodo that his prospects were good
And he said "Gandalf, it's understood
Being a hobbit is all very fine
But will this show me a better time?"

Frodo you must take the Ring
Or aid to Sauron it will bring
Frodo you must take the Ring
Or Sauron will get it

Hobbits 'n' hobbits, yeah

Frodo you must take the Ring
Or aid to Sauron it will bring
Frodo you must take the Ring
Or Sauron will get it

I told young Frodo he could start right away
And he said "Listen Gandalf, I got something to say
I wield no ring and it's breaking my heart
But I am a bearer and that's a start"

Frodo you must take the Ring
Or aid to Sauron it will bring
Frodo you must take the Ring
Or Sauron will get it

Hobbits 'n' hobbits, yeah
Hobbits 'n' hobbits, yeah

I hope someone else will post on this thread soon!!!!

Alakhriveion TMA · 09-02-2003, 06:52 PM

Hmmm... Valinor Fields Forever?

Let me take you east 'cuz I'm going to

Orominuialwen · 09-22-2003, 04:18 PM

For the song The Word I have part of a parody written:

Do the wave and you'll be free
Do the wave and be like me
Do the wave right there or here
Do the wave for Boromir!

More to follow shortly!

Oddwen · 09-22-2003, 06:47 PM

Good one!

I Saw My Precious There:
Deagol:
Well, he was just in his tweens,
And you know what I mean,
And the Ring he saw was way beyond compare.

So he'll never talk of another,
Oh when he saw his Precious there.

Well he looked at me,
And I, I could see,
That before too long I'd fall in the river.

He wouldn't talk of another,
Oh when he saw his Precious there.

Smeagol:
Well my heart went boom
when I crossed that room,
And I took that Ring for mine.

Oh we snuck through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with it.
Now I'll never talk of another,
Oh since I saw my Precious there.

Well my heart went boom
when I crossed that room,
And I took that Ring for mine.

Oh we snuck through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with it.

Now I'll never talk of another,
Oh since I saw my Precious there.
Oh since I saw my Precious there.
Oh since I saw my Precious there.

Roll Over, O Tolkien:
Well gonna watch a movie
Directed by a guy called P.J.
It's a rockin' little story
I went to watch it today
Roll over O Tolkien
I gotta see it again today

You know my temperature's risin'
And the book fan's blowin' a fuse
My hearts beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps singing the blues
Roll over O Tolkien
And tell C.S. Lewis the news

I got permanent nausea
The bookies scream "O save us Eru!"
I think we'll mob the writers
Reading Roger Ebert's review
Roll over O Tolkien
Orli fans marchin' two by two

Well if you feel that you like it
Well get your LotR and read and love it
Read it over and move on up
To the Silm and read and love it
Read it over
Roll over O Tolkien
A walkin' in two by two , oh

Well early in the mornin'
I'm a givin' you the warnin'
Say goodbye to light elf shoes
Hey diddle diddle
Say goodbye to Nob's fiddle
So much of the story to lose
Roll over O Tolkien
And tell C.S. Lewis the news

You know she glows like a glow worm
They went a bit over the top
She got a mortal partner
Will she stay an elf or not?
Long as she's got Asfaloth
Arwen will never stop
Roll over O Tolkien
Roll over O Tolkien
Roll over O Tolkien
Roll over O Tolkien
Roll over O Tolkien
And dig these rhythm and blues

A lame one: Sauron to the halflings:

Cause when I get through with you,
You'll find the things that I do
will make Gollum seem alright.

And another (lame) one:
The long and winding road,
Goes there and back again...

Vladivos the Rider · 09-23-2003, 11:52 AM

I don't even pretend to be a good poet but here goes...(to the tune of 'Now I'm 64.')

I HOPE NOT, by Frodo

When I get bolder, goin' in there,
Through that cursed black gate,
Will we still have Gollum and a lembas bread?
I hope not; it goes to my head

Will Sam still treat me, like I'm a king?
That's been kinda fun...
Or will he go mad and try to take the ring?
I hope not - my precioussss thing!

Oooh, oo oo oo, ooo ooohhh,
Or will we get foooooouuunnnd????
And tortured by some stinky Orc,
'nd taken und-ergroouunnnnd?

er...sorry, I can't think of anything else at the moment. Everyone else's are brilliant!

It's hilarious, Vlad! (Is that THE Vlad??)

As sung by Pippin-
Mushrooms (That's What I Want)

The best things in life are fungi
So said my Dad, he was a really nice guy.
Now gimme mushrooms THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That's what I want.
Mushrooms don't get everything it's true.
What they don't got I can't use.
So gimme mushrooms THAT'S WHAT I WANT
A little mushrooms THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That's what I want.
Yeh gimme mushrooms THAT'S WHAT I WANT
A little mushrooms THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want THAT'S WHAT I WANT
So gimme mushrooms THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That's what I want.
Po-ta-toes give me a thrill
But your taters don't nearly fill.
Now gimme mushrooms THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That's what I want.
Mushrooms don't get everything it's true.
What it don't get I can't use.
So gimme mushrooms THAT'S WHAT I WANT
A little mushrooms THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That's what I want.
Yeh gimme mushrooms THAT'S WHAT I WANT
A little mushrooms THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want THAT'S WHAT I WANT
So gimme mushrooms THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That's what I want.

Orominuialwen · 09-27-2003, 04:33 PM

I have another line for The Wave. Btw, it was written with help from my little brother (I forgot to say that earlier). Anyway, here it is.

Do the wave and you'll be free
Do the wave and be like me
Do the wave right there or here
Do the wave for Boromir!
It's a disco inferno
Do the wave now!

If anyone has ideas about how the rest of the song should go, please say so!

Airerûthiel · 09-28-2003, 01:15 AM

It's not really a Beatles song, but I couldn't resist reworking this:

Imagine there's no Sauron
It's easy if you try
No Gollum follows
Above no Nazgul fly

Imagine Gandalf's not dead
It isn't hard to do
Bilbo didn't leave Bag End
And give the Ring to you

Imagine we're back in the Shire
And there is no Ring, yoo-hoo-ooh-ooh

You may say I'm a hobbit but I'm not the only one
I hope some day they'll find us and the Fellowship will be one

Orominuialwen · 10-08-2003, 05:50 PM

Here's a new one!
Luthien: To lead a better life, I need Beren to be here [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Orominuialwen · 10-20-2003, 06:26 PM

Here's yet somemore on the Wave:

Do the wave and you'll be free
Do the wave and be like me
Do the wave right there or here
Do the wave for Boromir!
It's a disco inferno
Do the wave now!

In the beginning I misunderstood
But now I know Borri's King for good!

And a new one-

Sauron: I'm a loser
And I've lost the ring that's dear to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Sam to Frodo after he puts the ring on on Mount Doom: I'm looking through you
Where did you go?

[img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] I feel that another ode to Gimli's battle skills is warranted (to the tune of Maxwell's Silver Hammer): Down in Khazad-Dum, the Fellowship all hear the boom of drumming in the deep, Orcs approach the Tomb of Balin oh oh oh oh. Gimli Gloin’s son, waiting for to give them some, feigns a mighty sweep, He’s looking forward to breaking some Orcish bo-o-o-ones. And as they all pour through the door, a blade swings through the air. Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe came down upon their heads, Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe made sure that they were dead. Now we’re at a tense moment on the battlements, Rohan’s under threat, Uruk hordes advance on Helm’s Deep oh oh oh oh. Gimli and Legolas are adamant that none shall pass, so they make a bet, Who will claim the greatest number of fo-o-o-oes? So with a cry of Baruk Khazâd, the Dwarf’s headcount begins, Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe came down upon their heads, Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe left two and forty dead. The heir of Isildur is heading for the Pelennor. Gimli’s there again. Sailing up the Anduin river oh oh oh oh. Imrahil and Eomer seeing now the newcomers think all hope is gone. The black sails of the Corsairs tell them so-o-o-o. But as the White Tree unfurls, their hearts are filled with joy, Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe once more found Orcish heads, Chop chop Gimli’s mighty axe made sure that they were dead. __________________ Do you mind?

This is like Celebrimbor singing to Sauron. Sauron Let me tell you how it will be There's One for you, nineteen for me 'Cause you are Sauron Yes you are Sauron If you take our rings, we'll kill your orcs If you wreck Hollin, we'll kick your butt As long as Imladris will shelter us 'Cause you are Sauron Yes you are Sauron Annatar you are not and Orodruin is not to hot 'Cause you are Sauron Yes you are Sauron You made One Ring to rule them all Now Lindon we must call 'Cause you are Sauron Yes you are Sauron And you helped the Dark Lord once By the Dark Lord I mean Morgoth.

Our newest one is to the tune of Drive My Car. Take the Ring I asked young Frodo what he wanted to be He said "Gandalf, can't you see? I want adventures, like uncle Bilbo Even though I don't know where to go" Frodo you must take the Ring Or aid to Sauron it will bring Frodo you must take the Ring Or Sauron will get it I told Frodo that his prospects were good And he said "Gandalf, it's understood Being a hobbit is all very fine But will this show me a better time?" Frodo you must take the Ring Or aid to Sauron it will bring Frodo you must take the Ring Or Sauron will get it Hobbits 'n' hobbits, yeah Frodo you must take the Ring Or aid to Sauron it will bring Frodo you must take the Ring Or Sauron will get it I told young Frodo he could start right away And he said "Listen Gandalf, I got something to say I wield no ring and it's breaking my heart But I am a bearer and that's a start" Frodo you must take the Ring Or aid to Sauron it will bring Frodo you must take the Ring Or Sauron will get it Hobbits 'n' hobbits, yeah Hobbits 'n' hobbits, yeah I hope someone else will post on this thread soon!!!! __________________ Gone for lentSeeyou at Easter!

I Saw My Precious There: Deagol: Well, he was just in his tweens, And you know what I mean, And the Ring he saw was way beyond compare. So he'll never talk of another, Oh when he saw his Precious there. Well he looked at me, And I, I could see, That before too long I'd fall in the river. He wouldn't talk of another, Oh when he saw his Precious there. Smeagol: Well my heart went boom when I crossed that room, And I took that Ring for mine. Oh we snuck through the night, And we held each other tight, And before too long I fell in love with it. Now I'll never talk of another, Oh since I saw my Precious there. Well my heart went boom when I crossed that room, And I took that Ring for mine. Oh we snuck through the night, And we held each other tight, And before too long I fell in love with it. Now I'll never talk of another, Oh since I saw my Precious there. Oh since I saw my Precious there. Oh since I saw my Precious there. Roll Over, O Tolkien: Well gonna watch a movie Directed by a guy called P.J. It's a rockin' little story I went to watch it today Roll over O Tolkien I gotta see it again today You know my temperature's risin' And the book fan's blowin' a fuse My hearts beatin' rhythm And my soul keeps singing the blues Roll over O Tolkien And tell C.S. Lewis the news I got permanent nausea The bookies scream "O save us Eru!" I think we'll mob the writers Reading Roger Ebert's review Roll over O Tolkien Orli fans marchin' two by two Well if you feel that you like it Well get your LotR and read and love it Read it over and move on up To the Silm and read and love it Read it over Roll over O Tolkien A walkin' in two by two , oh Well early in the mornin' I'm a givin' you the warnin' Say goodbye to light elf shoes Hey diddle diddle Say goodbye to Nob's fiddle So much of the story to lose Roll over O Tolkien And tell C.S. Lewis the news You know she glows like a glow worm They went a bit over the top She got a mortal partner Will she stay an elf or not? Long as she's got Asfaloth Arwen will never stop Roll over O Tolkien Roll over O Tolkien Roll over O Tolkien Roll over O Tolkien Roll over O Tolkien And dig these rhythm and blues __________________ But all the while I sit and think of times there were before I listen for returning feet and voices at the door
