"Ho! Ho! Ho!" and "The Bath Song"
|
Can't Post

I think these two songs ("Ho! Ho! Ho!" and "The Bath Song") from The Fellowship of the Ring are in special need of melody! As far as I'm aware, they haven't been recorded on any of the major audio productions of LotR, and I'm not aware of any fan versions out there on the web. SO, I would like to issue an artistic challenge to all of the musically-inclined guys and gals out there to set these two songs in particular to music! And not mambsy-pambsy Elvish music, but HOBBIT music (which, I believe, in Tolkien's mind meant pub music)!
(on a sidenote, I think it would be awesome if Howard Shore took all of the drinking songs and walking songs and laments in LotR and set them to simple "Middle-Earthian" melodies. Then they could be released as a "b-side" CD in conjunction with the fabled "LotR + Hobbit Ultimate Edition")
"So knights are mythical!" said the younger and less experienced dragons. "We always thought so."
- J.R.R. Tolkien, "Farmer Giles of Ham"
