Parody of Elvis' You Ain't Nothin' But a Hound Dog: Nothin' but a Hobbit Can't Post

This is another classic that nearly everyone knows. That's the kind of song I like to parody, because I know it makes no sense to me when I read/watch/listen to a parody of a song when I haven't even heard the original.

You Ain't Nothin' But a Hobbit:

You ain't nothin' but a hobbit
Goin’ barefoot all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hobbit
Goin’ barefoot all the time
Well, you always catch them rabbits
And you’re a friend of mine

Well they said you wasn’t high-past
High past my upper thigh
Well they said you wasn’t high-past
High past my upper thigh
Well, you always catch them rabbits
And you’re a friend of mine

You ain't nothin' but a hobbit
Goin’ barefoot all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hobbit
Goin’ barefoot all the time
Well, you always catch them rabbits
And you’re a friend of mine

Well they said you wasn’t high-past
High past my upper thigh
Well they said you wasn’t high-past
High past my upper thigh
Well, you always catch them rabbits
And you’re a friend of mine


Well they said you wasn’t high-past
High past my upper thigh
Well they said you wasn’t high-past
High past my upper thigh
Well, you always catch them rabbits
And you’re a friend of mine

You ain't nothin' but a hobbit
Goin’ barefoot all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hobbit
Goin’ barefoot all the time
Well, you always catch them rabbits
And you’re a friend of mine

Doing parodies is such fun - [In reply to] Can't Post

I wonder who is supposed to be singing that one? Aragorn? Elrond? Legolas? Some funny mental images, there... Years ago I did some songs from 'The Saurond of Music' and thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. ('How do you solve a problem like Moria?' etc...) It does help if a parodied song is a very well-known one, as this is such an international community. What's next? An Elven version of Jailhouse Rock?
