Traditional Halloween-themed Parody
|
Can't Post
|
|
So I penned this little ditty a few years back, and I've tried to repost it every Halloween. And as that's today, it's time. =)
Enjoy, folks.
Balrog Mash
(sung to Monster Mash by Bobby 'Boris' Pickett)
Sung by Balin (with backup chorus of dwarves).
I was working in the mines,
Late one night
When my eyes beheld and eerie sight.
For Durin's Bane from hiding began to rise
And suddenly, to my surprise,
(He did the mash!)
He did the Balrog mash.
(The Balrog mash!)
It was a Third Age smash
(He did the mash!)
It caught on in a flash
(He did the mash!)
He did the Balrog mash.
From the narrow bridge
In Moria's east.
To the rancid lake
Where the Watcher feasts
The dwarves all came
With knives and forks
For a Halloween party
With the Balrog's orcs.
(They did the mash!)
They did the Balrog mash.
(The Balrog mash!)
It was a Third Age smash
(They did the mash!)
It caught on in a flash
(They did the mash!)
They did the Balrog mash.
The cave trolls were having fun
The party had just begun.
The guests included Sauron,
Saruman, and his son.
The scene was rocking,
All were digging the sounds
Gollum on chains
Backed by his 'gollum' sounds
The Fellowship was about to arrive
With their vocal group,
The Hobbit Five (Four!) (Whatever)
(They played the mash!)
They played the Balrog mash.
(The Balrog mash!)
It was a Third Age smash
(They played the mash!)
It caught on in a flash
(They played the mash!)
They played the Balrog mash.
Out from the Void
Morgoth's voice did ring
It seems he was troubled
By just one thing
Howled in fury
And shook his fist
And said,
"Whatever happened to my Utumno Twist?"
(It's now the mash!)
It's now the Balrog mash.
(The Balrog mash!)
And it's a Third Age smash
(It's now the mash!)
It's caught on in a flash
(It's now the mash!)
It's now the Balrog mash.
Now everything's cool,
Dwarves and orcs in the band
And the Balrog mash
Is the hit of the land,
For you the readers,
This mash was meant too
When you get to the gates,
Tell them Balin sent you.
(And you can mash!)
And you can Balrog mash.
(The Balrog mash!)
And do the Third Age smash
(And you can mash!)
You'll catch on in a flash
(Then you can mash!)
Then you can Balrog mash.
Inferno.

Good night, tOR.Nados. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely delete you in the morning.

"I stepped out of my body to let God slide in; although I'm still dressed in flesh that I spiritually died in. Alive in Christ a new creation started breathin', Life exists and through this came completion. ... I'm not that person anymore (more!)! That's what blood was shed for! No longer a failure, livin' life more abundantly, therefore you'll never see me livin' less than victory."
John Reuben.
"Desperation, needing You; every last breath I scream for You. Shatter me into a million pieces, make me new. ... Break me, mold me, make me what You want me to be; I am Yours, for You to use, so take and replace me with You."
Family Force 5.
"Under a light in Bethlehem, I was sifting through the sand; the saline burned my eyes, I was looking for Your hand. I gave up on myself, and left my pride disarmed; I cried out 'I'm alone!' and found myself in Your arms. 'Rest in Me, oh, My love; I have loved you before the world began. Rest in Me, oh, My love; you'll never wander too far to reach My hand.'"
Showbread.

Now I'll have that tune in my head all night. 
Thanks for sharing. 
My daughter's favorite line to quote:
Sam: Nothin'. Just a bit of seasoning. I thought maybe if we was havin' a roast chicken one night or something...
Frodo: Roast chicken?

I'll give $5 to the first person who creates the Utumno Twist at the next Moot. :)
Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."
"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded b*****d with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

Ahh, thank you for that revival, Inferno!
Although I can't help but wonder...who is Saruman's son? Or maybe I should ask: what is he?

"Barney Snow was here." ~Hug like a hobbit!~ "In my heaven..."
I really need these new films to take me back to, and not re-introduce me to, that magical world.
