Pretty Sly (for a Shire Guy)
A parody.
By Elukhin Glaurist

Gollum :Give it to us Frodo
Frodo : Uh-uh, Uh-uh

Gollum :Give it to us Frodo
Frodo : Uh-uh, Uh-uh

Gollum :Give it to us Frodo
Frodo : Uh-uh, Uh-uh

And all the Nazgul say I'm pretty sly for a Shire-guy
Uno,dos,tres,quatro,cinco,cinco,ses!
Yeah way back in the third age
when all the world was new
there was a guy named Sauron
and he forged a ring or two!
Seven for the dwarf lords
down in their halls of stone!
Nine for the mortal men,
and one to call his own!

Then Elendil Came
with his claim to fame
he stole the ring
and with an arrow he was slain!
The ring went downstream,
and Gollum saw its gleam
He stole it fast!
He stole it fast!!
Beneath a mountain king,
That's where he took the ring!
And then the Baggins came and took it
and of that the bards will sing!
So find that Broken Sword and
HEY HEY DO THAT HERO THING!

Gollum :Give it to us Frodo
Frodo : Uh-uh, Uh-h

Gollum :Give it to us Frodo
Frodo : Uh-uh, Uh-h

Gollum :Give it to us Frodo
Frodo : Uh-uh, Uh-h

And all the Nazgul say I'm pretty sly for a shire Guy!

Bilbo gave it to his nephew
a hobbit I am told
He took the ring to Rivendell
(T'was really quite bold)
They sent out the nine walkers
and they went out on a quest!
To go and destroy the ring
and maybe save the west!

To  Moria they went
Man they were really spent
When the Balrog appeared
and to heaven Gandalf went
Aragorn led out
They all went to pout
Poor Gandalf's Gone!
Poor Gandalf's Gone!
They went to Lorien
And Frodo Ran from them
and then Sam came to the rescue
And was a big help in the end!
So find Orodruin
AND HEY HEY DO THE RING-MAN THING!!

Gollum :Give it to us Frodo
Frodo : Uh-uh, Uh-h

Gollum :Give it to us Frodo
Frodo : Uh-uh, Uh-h

Gollum :Give it to us Frodo
Frodo : Uh-uh, Uh-h

And all the Nazgul say I'm pretty sly for a Shire-Guy

Frodo tamed Gollum
and then He led them
To Cirith Ungol
And then abandoned them.
Frodo fought Shelob,
got bit and went numb
So Sam saved him,
Yeah Sam saved him!
So they continued east
And fought many beasts
Then they got to Mt. Doom
and in it the ring was tossed!
They fought the orcish hordes
It kind got them bored
They fought those evil Hordes
and HEY HEY DID THE HERO THING!

MINAS MORGUL (Not Minas Ithil)
(sung to the tune of ISTANBUL (Not Constantinople))

Minas Morgul was Minas Ithil
Now it's Minas Morgul, not Minas Ithil
Been a long time gone, Minas Ithil
Now it's Orcish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Minas Ithil
Lives in Minas Morgul, not Minas Ithil
So if you've a date in Minas Ithil
She'll be waiting in Minas Morgul

Even Minas Tirith was once Minas Anor
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So take me back to Minas Ithil
No, you can't go back to Minas Ithil
Been a long time gone, Minas Ithil
Why did Minas Ithil get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Orcs

[Solo]

Even Minas Tirith was once Minas Anor
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So take me back to Minas Ithil
No, you can't go back to Minas Ithil
Been a long time gone, Minas Ithil
Why did Minas Ithil get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Orcs

Minas Morgul!

New Hit Song in Middle-Earth
Posted by Eckhardt on Lord of The Rings & Tolkien Things
*I feel I should make it clear that to me, Nazgul is pronounced with the U sounding like "oo" like "rule"*

As the company enjoyed their ales in the dwindling night, and shared many a tale and song about days gone by, Frodo could only sit and enjoy himself (well, as much as this furlorn Hobbit could allow in such a dangerous time). Strider glowered under the brim of his hood, and both he and Frodo could sense that even at the merriest of times, discression is needed.

Pippen foolishly began his retelling of Bilbo's farewell speech, and Frodo knew action must be taken to silence his friend. He got up from his seat, and was just about to step on top of the table, when Butterbur interupted the goings on with a loud shout.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Forgive my interruption, and I do wish Master Pippen to continue afterwards, but I have a small announcement to make concerning this eve's entertainment. I have acquired the services of a travelling minstrel from the East. He does not work cheaply, which is why I would like to bring him forth as quickly as possible, so as to 'get my money's worth' if you catch my meaning. So without further lamentation over my purse-strings, I now bring you... Sir Adam Sandler..."

Frodo sat back down in his seat, comforted by the fact the attention of the room had left his companions.

A scrawny little man sauntered up to the stage. He wore the traditional garb of a minstrel, with the exception of his hat, which was made of a strange blue material. It had only one small brim, seemingly to shade the eyes, but was currently turned to the back. He carried an awkward lute with 6 strings and a wide base... surely his unusual equipment was magical in nature, so as to garner his lofty price. He walked to the fore, and sheepishly addressed the congregation.

"Uh... Hi everyone. It's great to be here. I... uh... have never played to a crowd as big as this one before, so you'll just have to bear with me if I seem a little... uh... nervous..." the crowd was deathly silent. "First I'd like to thank mister Butterman for being so kind in letting me play for you... can we get a hand for Mister Butter? No? Ok... you don't have to if you don't wanna... it's ok. I... uh..."

"You stink! Get off the stage!" someone shouted.

" Well ya know, I don't claim to be a great musician, and lord knows I can't tell a story worth a squat. Frankly, I don't even know why I try. My mom always used to tell me I was stupid, so I figured I could get in front of people and share that stupidity, and maybe they would laugh because of it. But... uh... maybe this... wasn't a great idea... all I wanted to do was sing a song... maybe even the Nazgul song... but.. uh..."

The company began hurtling food and empty ale tankards at the stage in a fit of anger. Sir Sandler cowered and crouched to soften their blows. Frodo's heart began racing at the mention of the Nazgul. Strider noticed it as well, and stood up immediately to address the festering crowd.

"Please friends! Calm down... We have not heard a single note from this man's instrument. Let's at least keep our judgements to ourselves until he has finished his presentation." Strider approached Adam and helped him back to his feet, brushing off the rancid tomato from his shoulder. "Now please, good sir, show these naysayers wrong. Regail us with a song. Perhaps this 'Nazgul' tale of which you speak. I'm sure we would all like to hear it."

"Thank you sir... I'll do my best," said Sir Adam as he re-adjusted the tuning on his instrument. Strider sat back down, and the room was silent, awaiting the song.

Adam cleared his throat and began in a quiet, almost whisper thin falsetto voice...

(to the tune of the "Thanksgiving Song")

****
Scared of the Nazgul...
Scared of the Na-a-a-a-aaazzz-gooooollll...

*strumming*

Nazgul are mean, and Nazgul are bad,
I once saw a Nazgul decapitate a lad.

If you are a Nazgul, please don't eat me,
When you look at me, I go pee-pee.

Nazgul-Nazgul-dolly, and Nazgul-Nazgul-delt,
I once hurt my penis in a chastity belt. (ooof)

I run from the Nazgul whenever I see'em,
I don't want to meet one in a nice museum.

The Naaaaaz-goooool...
Can be so slipp'ry and slyyyyyy..
Mister Sauronnnnn...
Only has one eye...

Nazgul in the morning, Nazgul in the night,
Arwen in a battle, it just aint right.

Nazgul-lap-lappity, skippity-doo,
If I were a Nazgul I'd come for you.

Nazguls never tire, they work like ants,
Each Nazgul's got a 12 inch monster in his pants.

Nazguls like the night, and they all wear black,
I bet it sucks getting that robe stuck in their crack.

The Naaaaaz-goooool...
They never slow daaaaance...
Stuart Townsend...
You missed your big chaaaance!

*plucks a final chord and takes a bow*

The room erupts with laughter and cheers as Sir
Sandler accepts his praise timidly.

Frodo and Strider exchange a knowing glance as if to say, 'we must talk with this wise man, he may be able to help.'

Sympathy for the Balrog
Posted by ritergrrl on theOneRing.net
To the tune of Sympathy for the Devil

Sympathy for the Balrog

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a creature of fearful mirth
I've been below for a long, long year
Where nameless things gnaw the earth

And I was 'round when Durin King
Met his fate in fear and pain
And I made sure that Balin
Wished he'd never come here again

Pleased to meet you
Bearers of two Rings
But what's puzzling you
Is whether I have wings

I stuck around Thangorodrim
Until the Valar made a change
Killed Glorfindel and other elves
While the Eagles screamed in vain

I flew like lava
Bursting from Mount Doom
When the battle raged
Under Morgoth's gloom

Pleased to meet you
Bearer of two rings, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is whether I have wings, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While the Dunedain
Fought for ten decades
For the north Kingdom

I shouted out,
"Who killed Earnur?"
When after all
It was the Witch King

Let me please introudce myself
I'm a creature of streaming fire
And I lay traps for Fellowships
Who dare to walk through Moria

Pleased to meet you
Bearers of two Rings, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you Is whether I have wings,
oh yeah, get down, baby

Pleased to meet you Bearers of two Rings, oh yeah
But what's confusing you Is whether I have wings

Just as every Noldor is not so High And all the
orcs are Elves As heads is tails
Just call me Durin's Bane
Awakened where the Dwarves did delve

So now you meet me
On this narrow bridge
And you threaten me with sword and light
Use all your well-learned magic spells
Or I'll drag you to the depths, um yeah

Pleased to meet you Bearers of two Rings, um yeah
But what's puzzling you Is whether I have wings,
um mean it, get down Woo, hoo
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah! Tell me wizard, are these wings? ell me Halfing, do these look like wings? Tell me Dwarf man, are these wings? You just wait Elf you won't want to sing Ooo, wings Ooo, wings Ooo, wings Ooo, shadows Ooo, shadows Ooo, shadows Ooo, shadows Oh, yeah Are these wings? Tell me, Ranger, are these wings? Man of Gondor, are these wings? Ooo, shadows Ooo, shadows Ooo, shadows Ooo, shadows Ooo, shadows Ooo, shadows Ooo, shadows Oh, yeah

The LOTR song
Posted by Green Knight on Ringbearer.org
Here is the song that all the actors should learn to keep up their spirits while filming (the tune is 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'):

When We First Met The Balrog

When we first met the Balrog, we saw in Moria
A demon tall as a tree.

And the second thing we saw, as it closed in from afar, was
Two towering trolls
And a demon tall as a tree.

In the third fearful moment, we met down in the mine
Three Orcish guards
Two towering trolls
And a demon tall as a tree.

Going forth into battle, the wizard bade us see:
Four lines of soldiers
Three Orcish guards
Two towering trolls
And a demon tall as a tree.

With a fifth word of power, exploding through the mists came
FIVE GLOWING RUNES...
Four lines of soldiers
Three Orcish guards
Two towering trolls
And a demon tall as a tree.

At the sixth clash of mithril, the bridge began to show
Six widening fissures
FIVE GLOWING RUNES...
Four lines of soldiers
Three Orcish guards
Two towering trolls
And a demon tall as a tree.

Facing the onslaught the Balrog made reply, with
Seven curling thongs
Six widening fissures
FIVE GLOWING RUNES...
Four lines of soldiers
Three Orcish guards
Two towering trolls
And a demon tall as a tree.

At the eighth time of asking, there came to Gandalf's side
Eight other heroes
Seven curling thongs
Six widening fissures
FIVE GLOWING RUNES...
Four lines of soldiers
Three Orcish guards
Two towering trolls
And a demon tall as a tree.

In the next frantic moment there echoed through the mine
nine roars of evil
eight other heroes
Seven curling thongs
Six widening fissures
FIVE GLOWING RUNES...
Four lines of soldiers
Three Orcish guards
Two towering trolls
And a demon tall as a tree.

Then a tenth spell of fire fell on the mighty bridge -
Ten bits of granite
nine roars of evil
eight other heroes
Seven curling thongs
Six widening fissures
FIVE GLOWING RUNES...
Four lines of soldiers
Three Orcish guards
Two towering trolls
And a demon tall as a tree.

At the eleventh hour the wizard issued forth
Trite words of wisdom
Ten bits of granite
nine roars of evil
eight other heroes
Seven curling thongs
Six widening fissures
FIVE GLOWING RUNES...
Four lines of soldiers
Three Orcish guards
Two towering trolls
And a demon tall as a tree.

And then after the Balrog, there comes along the way
Twelve Rohan Riders
Eleven elven archers
Ten ents a-smashing
Nine evil Nazgul
Eight miles of Mordor
Seven good survivors
Six hundred pages
FIVE HUNDRED MORE
Four prophesies
Three elf rings
Two mighty towers
AND A DARK LORD UP A GUM TREE

I got to thinking yesterday and wanted to include a Craoby,Stills, and Nash theme song ( Think Woodstock ). Oh and I like Coconut Creme Pie

I came upon one of the Nine
He was walking along the road,
So I asked him where was he going this he told me,
"I'm going down to Gondor's Field
Gonna join in a Orc and Troll band
gonna camp out on the land

A dark song
Posted by Deagol on theOneRing.net
Ah, peer pressure. Here's my attempt at corrupting a Beatles song. I hadn't meant for it to be so dark, but somehow it twisted pretty easily into the tortured viewpoint of Denethor. Be kind...

Orcs are flowing out like endless slime into a paper cup
They argue wildly as they slip away across the Mordor Plain
Pools of sorrow, waves of pain are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
I’m going to rue the day, yeah, oh

Sauron’s gonna change the world
Sauron’s gonna change the world
Sauron’s gonna change the world
Sauron’s gonna change the world

Images of broken bones which dance before me like a million knives
They call me on and on across the Mordor Plain
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside my waiting tomb
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the Mordor Plain
I’m going to rue the day, yeah, oh

Sauron’s gonna change the world
Sauron’s gonna change the world
Sauron’s gonna change the world
Sauron’s gonna change the world

Sounds of screaming, wraiths of night are ringing through my shattered mind
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying fear which wraps around me like a linen shroud
It calls me on and on across the Mordor Plain
I’m going to rue the day, yeah, oh

Sauron’s gonna change the world
Sauron’s gonna change the world
Sauron’s gonna change the world
Sauron’s gonna change the world
I’m going to rue the day, yeah

Look at me, I'm Sam Gamgee,
Proud of my servility,
Won't give up hope
As long as we don't need rope,
I can't, I'm Sam Gamgee...

I was brought up to defer,
I'll stay till the end
'Cause I'm that kind of friend,
I am, I'm Sam Gamgee...

Thought I would try a couple of musical numbers on all of you:
The Ballrog Song (Think of Disney's Pinochio)

     Oh I have no wings to slow me down,
          to foul me up and make fans scowll,
     I do have shadows as you can see,
          there are no wings on me.


Saruman's Lament
(this is lifted from Partner's song in Paint Your Wagon)

       I talk to the Trees but they don't listen to me ....


Hey I apoligize to Lerner and Lowe I did like Paint Your Wagon any movie that can have Clint Eastwood or Lee Marvin break into song and make it work has courage.  :-)

Salad for the Elven Kings, hungry 'neath the sky
Soup for the Dwarf Lords, in their bowls of stone
French Fries for mortal men, doomed to die
Onions for the Dark Lord, on his dark throne

Onion Rings to feed them all
Onion Rings to find them
Onion Rings to bring them all
And to their diets bind them!

Then, of course, there are the collected works of Elvish Presley
(from which I pull a small example):
Well, it's one for the Dark Lord,
Three for the elves,
Seven for the dwarves,
And every man for himself!
Don't you give me those one ring blues.
Oh, you can do anything,
But don't give me those one ring blues...

I know, I know, you hate D&D songs.  You *especially* hate D&D songs 
about bashing Balrogs and things like that.
On what grounds do I excuse myself?  Well...it was late, I had to get it 
off of my hard drive, and it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Anyway, I haven't had the desire to really work up a tune for it yet, so 
there isn't one.  If you figure one out, or want to write one, go right 
ahead, just as long as you keep the copyright notice in there.
Without further ado, here it is for your pleasure (?) and enjoyment (?)...

---------------Text begins here--------------

Never Bash a Balrog


When you're out adventuring,
Creeping through the dark and gloom,
And you come across a Balrog
Asleep in a gold filled room,
Lust for treasure blinds your mind,
But I have some advice,
Listen to what I have to say,
It might make you think twice:

     Never bash a Balrog--
     You're a fool for even tryin'.
     The Balrog will not take it well;
     You'll find that I'm not lyin'.

You may be in a tavern
Enjoying well brewed ale,
When some starry eyed adventurer
Comes in and spins his tale:
"I know where there's lots of loot,
In a dungeon that's nearby,
Guarded by just one Balrog--
We can take him if we try!"

     Don't let him bug the Balrog,
     It's the proper thing to do--
     Do everyone a favor
     And run the moron through.

Don't think that you can just walk up
And stick Balrogs in the ribs,
Don't be the first to draw your sword,
Run up and holler, "Dibs!"
They're surrounded by a storm of fire,
And have a scaly hide;
It's best if you just turn and run:
You might just stay alive.

     Never bash a Balrog--
     Heed counsel that is true.
     Balrogs aren't forgiving chaps:
     He may just run you through.

Forget what those manuals say
About weaknesses or flaws:
Manuals won't save your rear
When you're caught between his jaws.
Though it's too late to remember,
As his flames begin to rage:
When you're stuck in real life
It's hard to turn the page.

     Never bash a Balrog--
     Level 4 or 42;
     It won't make any difference
     As he makes a meal of you.

So when a Balrog looks at you
And drool forms on his chin,
Don't think it's just bad manners
Cascading down his skin.
You're better off to turn and run,
Be you cleric, thief or mage,
You won't live to regret it,
And you'll live to see old age.


     Never bash a Balrog
     There--I've said it once or twice
     The Balrog will not like it,
     And it isn't very nice.

     No. never bash a Balrog,
     It's best to sneak away,
     Beat up on some orcs instead,
     And live another day.

Balrog Love Song
Posted by Feataure
"Lewis popped in yesterday, seeking not for the first time! to convert me to the camp of Madonna devotees, but of course I would have none of it. I have always been, and shall ever be,devoted exclusively to American country music, the influence of which has greatly coloured all my work. Indeed I may say that, had it not been for Merle Haggard (and for Hank Williams, son of Hank Williams, King of Hillbillies) I should never have completed the story..."

J.R.R. Tolkien, 1953

In light of this famous quote, I have written this country ditty which I hope will be brought to the attention of the filmmakers. The song is sung by Frodo. The chorus is provided by the Fellowship, which accompanies itself on washboards, moonshine jugs, etc.:


There's rings on fancy napkins,
And there's rings in peoples' tubs;
There's rings that's left by bottles
In these bars we're callin' pubs;
There's rings that says you've gotten hitched,
Or won the Super Bowl:
But here's the Ring that whups 'em all,
A-whuppin' on my soul!

(chorus)
It's whuppin', whuppin', whuppin' on this hobbit's hobbit-soul!
It's whupped him buggy-eyed and double-jointed!
But hear our song of country cheer (the orcs like rock-an'-roll)
With hobbit-ears, which MOST believes is pointed!

I got it (on my birthday)
From a crazy, rich relation
Who stuck me with the the Rulin' Ring
That saves or sinks Creation;
I'll tote 'er to the Cracks o' Doom
And see if I can ditch 'er:
I wish I was Tom Bombadil,
'Cause he ain't in this pitcher!

(chorus)
That rascal stuck 'im with the Ring that made a wreck o' Gollum!
It's purty, but it's meaner than Lobelia!
And if it gets ya roped and tied, the doctors (if they call 'em)
Will say there ain't a doggone thing can heal ya!

I ain't no hero ('cept compared
With prancin' Elven sissies)
And yet I'm on a mission fit
For Jason or Ulysses:
So do some thinkin', buckaroos,
Before ya call it simple:
Adventures ain't fer pudgy guys
The size o' Shirley Temple!

(chorus)
He's sized like Shirley Temple, but there's Hercules inside 'im!
And orcs and spiders only make him madder!
And if we had the Balrog here, that squirt could up an' ride 'im––
And FLY him, if his wings is more than shadder!

To larn what happens, read the books,
'Cause they has got the answer:
We chucks this evil joolery;
We whups the Necromancer;
The king, he claims his fancy throne;
The folks, they waves his banner;
But as for me, I've larnt I won't
Be playin' no pianer!

(chorus)
He'll never play pianer! No, he's had a digit swallered!
But, shucks! We've went and made us each a million!
We'll buy up half o' Valinor, 'cause now they got us collared
To star in New Line's Nashville Silmarillion!

ODE TO A BALROG

The fires from thy nose,
The dwarf-juice twixt thy toes,

Thy claws are stained of blood,
Thou eyes as clear as mud,

You sweep me off my feet,
and off the bridge, my sweet,

But tell me, Balrog fair,
Who does thy lovely hair?

you mutter sweet nothings
day after day,
six weeks just to say
you love me, come what may;
c'mon, lets have some love play--
tearing down walls that get

As sung by Gollum while he patrols after Frodo and Sam
(to the tune of 'pretty fly for a white guy' by offspring)

GIVE IT TO US, BAGGINSSS, uh huh, uh huh
GIVE IT TO US, BAGGINSSS, uh huh, uh huh
GIVE IT TO US, BAGGINSSS, uh huh, uh huh
And precious always says we really wants a cold fish

We knows it's very hard to squeeze a hobbit dead
That nasssty one says he wants to boil up our head,
He may not have the precious but the other hobbit does,
GOLLUM! Yes, we wants him, the precious is ours!

So don't burn it, we wants it,
the nassty other hobbit won't let us get to it.
Baggins is a thief, we believe,
And we wants the precious so we can leave,
The Master has the precious,
Yess, Yess, give the precious here!

GIVE IT TO US, BAGGINSSS, uh huh, uh huh
GIVE IT TO US, BAGGINSSS, uh huh, uh huh
GIVE IT TO US, BAGGINSSS, uh huh, uh huh
And precious always says we really wants a cold fish

He's going up the mountain to throw the precious away
We'll push him in the fire, yessss, we'll do it today,
And we'll bite a finger off him and get the precious back
And squeeze that nassty hobbit and eat up his backpack

No, don't burn it, we needs it,
We'll have it in our hand after Baggins finger's bit,
And then, we'll see, you and me,
Smeagol loves the precious and the precious loves he,
The precious was meant to be here,
Yess! Yess, Give the precious here!

Much has been said about composers and scores and the need for Tolkiens songs in LOTR. But what about some lighthearted background tunes. 
At the Prancing Pony the night that Frodo and company arrive. Out in the Common Room the Ferny and his friends are raising a tankard of ale and singing that old familiar drinking song:
In Mordor there is no beer
Thats why we drink it here
And when were gone from here
The orcs will be drinking all the beer.
If only Frodo had listened ...

chorus;

Sleep with one eye open, clutching that gold Ring tight!
Exit night, enter the White!
Take the Hand...
Off to conquer all the land!

Srider singing to the tune of 'Come Together'.

There goes an orc head

It's that, Big Red Eyball;
Makes'em, act so crazy.
It see you, it sees me.
One thing is for sure is that it won't get the Ring!

Come to Mordor, right now.
Juss like me.

That ol' mad Gandalf
He got, long white whiskers;
And he, fought that balrog,
And it burned his nickers.
It got wings! No it don't!
Oh my God this stuff will make my head got ka-boom!

Come to Mordor, right now.
Juss like me.

Merry and Pippin,
They two, crazy hobbits;
They get, oh so horny,
When they, drink that Ent stuff.
Don't get down on hands and knees;
Look out Arwen, oh no! It's too late I believe!

Come to Mordor, right now.
Juss like me.

Leg'las and Gimli,
They two, strange bedfellow;
One got, big ol' brown hair,
One's is, long and yellow.
You say, "Why did you bring that up again!?"
Go away can't you see I'm usin' this tree!

Come to Mordor, right now.
Juss like me.

Come to Mordor, yeaaaaaaaaaaah.
Come to Mordor, yeaaaaaaaaaaah.
Balrog Flying Too Close To The Ground
Posted by Dunadan Companion on Ringbearer.org

I blocked up that chamber door and hung around a while
Trying to those orcs out and your badass down

Leave me if you need to,
I stay and dismember
Balrog flying too close to the ground

I know someday that I will wander away
Cause I the baddest wielder of Anor

So leave me if you need to,
I stay and dismember
Balrog flying too close to the ground

Fly on fly on down the stairs to the right
And choose the ways that lead you down 

So leave me if you need to,
I stay and dismember
Balrog flying too close to the ground

Its an old tune which Willie Nelson updated in the 70's.
Alas he left out all mention of the Balrog (changed it to Angel I believe). 
Frodo's Got Your Ring
Posted by Pipe Smoke on Ringbearer.org

To the tune of Aerosmith's "Janie's Got a Gun"
For the original lyrics (which I understand the seriousness of*) go here

Dum, dum, dum, Hobbit what have you done 
Dum, dum, dum, That wizard's got you on his run
Dum, dum, dum, Hobbit what have you done 
Dum, dum, dum, That wizard, that wizard... 
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.... 

Frodo's got your ring
Frodo's got your ring
Your whole plan's come undone
From lookin' at the bigger ones
What did that Hobbit do?
How could he ever get through?

They say when Frodo came of age
He found it left by old Bilbo
But man, now he's off runnin'
Now Sauron's just left wonderin'
Where did that Hobbit go?

Frodo's got your ring
Frodo's got your ring
Your bad days have just begun 
Now the wraiths are on the run 
Tell yourself it's untrue 
That they will bring it to you

He's just a little bitty halfling 
That wizard's got to be insane 
But they say the spell that he is under 
It's got him filled with wonder
He knew that someone had to stop your reign

Run away, run away with your ring
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Run away, run away with your ring 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Run away, run away, run, run away 

Frodo's got your ring
Frodo's got your ring
Ain't that the darndest thing?
Time to give those wraiths some wings
Where did that Hobbit go?
With all your sight don't you know?

He must've given up real easy
And passed the ring to his friends 
The little chump probably got queezy
Now this will end with ease
Now just see how quick this ends!

Ran away, ran away from your wraiths
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Ran away, ran away, ran, ran away 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Ran away, ran away, ran, ran away 

Frodo HAD your ring!
Frodo HAD your ring!
Frodo HAD your ring!
Hey, what's that little thing?!

Frodo's GOT your ring!
I think it's time for YOU to spring
Now your army's on the run (Hobbit, Hobbit where'd you come from?) 
'Cause Frodo's almost there!! (Tell me this ain't right) 
Gollum's got the ring! (Hope he doesn't try no robbin') 
Oh crap he fell in WHERE?? (Too bad you're gonna share his plight) 
You just lost the ring
Ain't that the darndest thing?
Now your army's on the run 
Tell me does it sting?

Boromir's Rhapsody
Posted by Hama on Ringbearer.org

Is this the one ring?
Or is this just fakery?
Those rings of power,
They all look the same to me.

Put on the ring,
And watch as I fade away.
I'm just from Gondor,
I’m just a normal bloke.

And now I need that ring,
Need it now,
Fight the orcs,
Kill them all.

Ringwraith, Troll or Balrog,
Doesn't really matter to me,
To me...

Father, I’ve got a plan
Get that hobbit by his head
Get my sword out, then he's dead.
Father, take him from behind,
And then I'll have that ring to take away.

Father, ooh-ooh
Got give my plan a try,
I have to take that ring and prove I’m right,
Rule them all, rule them all, 
'cause that is what’ll happen.

Too late, that hobbits gone.
Whipped that ring out very fast,
Put it on and kicked my arse.
Too late everybody, my plan has failed
And now I’ve gone and thrown it all away.

Father, ooh ooh,
This fate is very cruel,
I sometimes wish I'd never done this at all.

-

I see a little goblin running up the hill,
Uruk-hai, Uruk-Hai,
There are far too many of them.
Arrows coming for me
Very very nasty 
Indeed!

Blow the horn (Blow the horn)
Blow the horn (Blow the horn)
Blow the horn and swing your sword
O Aragooorn!
(No no no no no no no no no No)

One of them has stabbed me, somebody help me
One of them has stabbed him, get him to a hospital
Stand well back
You’ve got to give him air.

Breathe deeply, Ouch!
I’ll get that arrow out, There it goes!
Breathe deeply, Ouch!
I’ll get that arrow out, There it goes!
Breathe deeply, Ouch!
I’ll get that arrow out, There it goes!
I’ll get that arrow out, There it goes!
I’ll get that arrow out, There it goes!

There it go-oo-oo-oo-ooes!

No, no, no, no, no, no. 
Oh, goodness gracious,
goodness gracious,
goodness gracious, what a mess!

Lord Mandos has set another place aside
for me... for me... for me!

So you think you can steal things and think it's all right?
So you think that the one ring will give you the right?
Ohh sailor, now you see you’re a failure,
You just had to try,
You just had to try out your plan here....

The one ring really matters,
it matters just to me.
The one ring really matters,
the one ring really matters,
To me

Listen as my horn blows.

Hama. (With apologies to Queen!)
Don't Cry For Me Minas Tirith
Posted by Face Dancer on Ringbearer.org


It won't be easy
You'll think it's strange
When I try to explain where I've been
How I still am your King after all of this time
You won't believe me
All you will see is a scruffy old dude
But Elendil is in my bloodline
Isildur and Anarion, too!


Bilbo Baggins the Hobbitt, he found the Ring
Couldn't stay all my life in the North
Looking out at the kingdom that by birthright was mine
The Eye of Sauron
Looking around, all the nine Nazgul, too
But Gandalf hid the Ring in the Shire
And the Dark Lord had barely a clue


Don't cry for me Minas Tirith
The truth is I never left you
All through the Third Age
Your brave resistance
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for Frodo and as for Sam
We owe everything to them
For it was the Halflings sent the Ring to the Fire
Now I'm Elessar
And all the Elves are going out to sea
Now I shall be King of the West
And at last fulfill my destiny

Don't cry for me Minas Tirith
The truth is I never left you
All through the Third Age
Your brave resistance
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
Come to Mordor
Posted by Tolman Gamgee on Ringbearer.org

Sung by Strider to the tune of "Come Together" by the Beatles.

There goes an orc head
It goes, rolling by swiftly;
It's that, Big Red Eyeball;
Makes'em, act so crazy.

It sees you, It sees me.
One thing is for sure is that it won't get the Ring!

Come to Mordor....., right now;
Just like me.
How about this?!
Posted by Jack on Ringbearer.org
I like the whole swing/nostalgia approach ...

Sauron:
"...it don't mean a thing if I don't get that ring...doo wop doo wop doowop doo wop..."

more to come....

Just One of Those Things (and other hits)
Posted by Angela on Ringbearer.org


At the very end, Frodo and Aragorn look back at all that transpired, and sing a snappy, hep and swingin duet...

(inspired by Frank Sinatra's rendition of "Just One of Those Things")

(Frodo)
It was just....one of those things,
Just one of those crazy rings!
That trip from Mt Doom on Gwaihir's wings
was just one of those things

(Aragorn)
It was just...one of those fights,
Hackin' away at those freakish frights!
Slashin' off heads with one or two swings
was just one of those things

(BOTH)
So bye ringfinger and Amen!
Here's hoping we reach Bag-end...

It was great fun
But it was just...one of those things.
The Long Winding Road

that leads to Mordor
will never disappear
I seen that road before
It always leads me here
leads me to your door

Frodo's Theme

Oompa Loompas
Posted by Legolamb on Ringbearer.org

I hope there are oompa loompas in these movies. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 
is my all-time favorite movie of all time. We need Oompa loompas singing morals during
the movies. Examples:

Ompa, loompa, doopity do.
I've got a little riddle for you.
What do you get with a ring that's not yours?
An angry old wizard with a magical sword
Everyone wants a little piece of your hide
With Sauron's fiery eye searching, there's nowhere to hide
You must run and run with no time to rest
The weight of the world is piled on your chest
You-oo haaave, You-oo haaave, 
You-oo haaave no one else to blame
But your-self.
Ompa, loompa, doopity day.
Isn't this stupid song really gay?

And:

Ompa, loompa, doopity do.
I've got another riddle for you.
What do you get when you try to steal a ring back that's not yours?
A fuzzy little hobbit with a magical sword
And if you're dumb enough to bite the ring off his hand
Right dab smack in the middle of a roaring fire you'll land
Then you'll beeee, then you'll beeee
Then you'll beeee as dead as can be 
Ompa, loompa, doopity dee.
If this is too stupid you can blame me

There are plenty of other moments in the story where the Oompa loompas 
can point out morals with cute little songs, in case anybody else wants 
to take shot at it.

Frodo, thinking about the nazgul:
"Every night in my dreams, I see you, I FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL you..."
