Hobbitise a song (game)
|
Can't Post
|
|
Hobbits, as we know, like peace and quiet, well-tilled earth, and the growing and enjoyment of food and drink. So common themes for our modern music - sex, drugs, rock'n'roll (or even God or national superiority) might fall flat for a hobbit audience.
Fortunately I think a number of song titles could be adapted to suit a hobbit audience better.
Here are some examples:
- Reach Out, Ale Be There (Four Tops)
- Brassica in Pocket (Pretenders)
- Rooty Tuesday (Rolling Stones)
- Peas In The Valley (Thomas A Dorsey/ Mahalia Jackson)
- I Can Do It With A Broken Fork (Taylor Swift)
- Son of a Pleacher Man (Dusty Springfield)
- Tuber mirum (part of the requiem mass setting, so many composers)

Girls Just Want To Have Funghi (Cyndi Lauper)
Possibly also Hail To The Chef (Sanderson/Scottish Traditional) would work, but only after you'd explained that 'chef' meant a cook.

As far as I know, there are no red courgettes. Shame.
And I also don't know why we in the UK call that vegetable by the French for 'little gourd', while it is called zucchini (the Italian for 'little gourd') in some other places.
