I hope I'm not too late with this, but I had to think up and write a good parody! [In reply to] Can't Post

First off, some of the songs I associate with Tolkien and his works are "Broken Wings" by Mister Mister, "We Built This City" by Starship, and "Always Something There To Remind Me" by Naked Eyes. There's really nothing I can point to that is Tolkien-esque, but I was listening to these songs a lot when I started reading his works.

Finally, here is my parody. Going over what everyone else has posted, this song hasn't been done yet, but it is similar to others. *hint* *hint* *hint* ;)


*************

Gandalf on the Bridge and Forth Eorlingas
Forth the three hunters with no rest or pause
Frodo in Mount Doom and the End of All Things
These are a few of my favorite scenes

The Third Age Last Alliance of Men and Elves
The Fellowship of the Ring all volunteer themselves
And Aragorn of Gondor is crowned as the King
These are a few of my favorite scenes

Eowyn defeats the Witch-King, and Galadriel’s Mirror
Aragorn’s Black Gate Speech and Samwise the Brave is a hero
The ballads and lays and dirges they sing
These are a few of my favorite scenes

When there’s no more
For the silver screen
And it makes me sad
I simply remember my favorite scenes
And then I don’t feel so bad

Genre is categorized as Jazz/Pop and was written in 1959. It is featured in a popular musical, staring a similarly popular female lead singer.
I feel like this is rather obvious so the clues stop there!

This was a lot of fun! Thanks, Rux!

"But I don't regret, nor will I forget, all who took that road with me. Night is now falling, so ends this day. The road is now calling and I must away. Over hill, and under tree, through lands where never light has shined. I turned at last to paths that lead home."

Ah! [In reply to] Can't Post

More Rodgers and Hammerstein!

Love it!

“Begone, foul dwimmerlaik, lord of carrion! Leave the dead in peace!"
"Come not between the Nazgul and his prey! Or he will not slay thee in thy turn. He will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shrivelled mind be left naked to the Lidless Eye."
"Do what you will; but I will hinder it, if I may."
"Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!"
"But no living man am I! I am Eowyn, daughter of Theodwyn!”
"Er, really? My mother's name was Theodwyn, too!"
"No way!"
"Way!"
"Wow! Let's stop fighting and be best friends!"
"Cool!!"

Nice one! [In reply to] Can't Post

Nope, not too late. We're still on the front page. Cool

Welcome, welcome! To the thread and to the boards!

Your song selections as reminiscent of Tolkien's works are quite interesting! Especially the Mister Mister one. Coincidentally, I've had that song on my mind lately.

Thanks for your My Favorite Things / Sound of Music parody! Well done!

Your choice reminds me fondly of the time ROTK swept the Oscars. Billy Crystal was the host. The relevant bit I'm thinking of starts at the 7:06 mark, with his apology in advance to Julie Andrews. Laugh

Cheers and thanks for contributing! Smile
