Ok. If it's 80's tunes you want, here's one that's been re-introduced as a soundtrack for "The Wedding Singer":

Palantir Seized By King Elessar
(Originally Video Killed The Radio Star - The Buggles)

I saw you on the Palantir in Volume Two.
Strider awake, intent at tuning in on you.
With Saruman it didn't stop you coming through.
Oh-a oh
They took the visions from your vaunted destiny.
Rewritten by wizards and ancient prophecy,
And now I understand the problems you can't see.
Oh-a oh
I met your Ring-Wraiths
Oh-a oh
What did you tell them?
Palantir seized by King Elessar.
Palantir seized by King Elessar.
Visions came and broke your heart.
Oh-a-a-a oh
And now we meet in an abandoned Barad-dûr.
We hear the mem'ry and it seems so long ago.
And you remember how legends used to go.
Oh-a oh
You were the dark one.
Oh-a oh
You were the strong one.
Palantir seized by King Elessar.
Palantir seized by King Elessar.
In my mind and in the stars, we can't recall we've gone to far
Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho oh
Palantir seized by King Elessar.
Palantir seized by King Elessar.
In my mind and in the stars, we can't recall we've gone to far.
Visions came and broke your heart, put the blame on the Valar.
You are the Palantir star.
You are the Palantir star.
Palantir seized by King Elessar.
Palantir seized by King Elessar.
Palantir seized by King Elessar.
Palantir seized by King Elessar.
(Repeat)
Palantir seized by King Elessar. (You are the Palantir star.)

Treebeard Ok heres a sad one

Warning - sad song - Warning :P

(to the tune of Imagine)

Imagine theres no Tolkien
I wonder if we could
no fair elf princess
or hobbit songs

Imagine all the people
living with a void

you may say its a book
therefore whats the big deal
I hope someday youll read it
and appreciate life anew.

Great song TFOAT! I think I did an "Imagine" song once; but on a happier note. It's in this thread somewhere...

Yeah. Great songs everyone!
I love the Video killed the radio star one.
I watched the wedding singer on BBC2 the other week and I thought it was weird! That guy needs a serious haircut!

I remember your imagine one...'imagine there are hobbits...' i loved it! The other one was so sad. I may die if there was no tolkien.
The wedding singer is rubbish, but your song wasn't.

The Carpenters Song#1

We've Only Just Begun (Sam's Version)
(Originally by Paul Williams and Roger Nichols)

We've only just begun the quest,
Fell Wights and Bombadil
I tell my Rosie we're on our way
And yes, we've just begun

Before the Ring Wraiths come we fly,
So many trails to choose
We meet grim Strider the Dunedain.
And yes, we've just begun

Having one breakfast, that's just new to us,
Meeting the elves along the way,
Talking it over now there's nine of us,
Questing to Gondor day to day
To Gondor (To Mordor)

And when the Uruk come, we fly,
So sad our life ahead
We'll find the place where the Ring we'll throw,
And yes, we've just begun.

The Carpenters Song#2

A Song For You (Galadriel's Version)
(Originally by Leon Russell)

I've seen so many races in my life and time
I've hung a lot of orc I've done some sad crime
I did not take the Ring of Ages
With Maiar and Valar watching
I'm sailing home now and I'm waiting out West for you

I know your image of me is more than Khazad see
I've treated you unkindly but Gimli can't you see
There's no Dwarf more important to me
Gimli' can't you please see through me
I'm sailing home now and I'm waiting out West for you

You showed me precious secrets about mithril withholding nothing
You stayed out in front and caught me staring
But now I've lost my power and if these woods don't stay together
Listen to beyond the sea cause my love is in there hiding

I'll love you in a place where there's no hate or crime
I'll love you for in Lorien you are a friend of mine
And when this age is over
Remember when we were together
Don't stay too long cause I'll be waiting out West for you

You taught me precious secrets of mithril withholding nothing
You stayed out in front and caught me staring
But now I've lost my power and if these woods don't stay together
Listen to beyond the sea cause my love is in there hiding

I'll love you in a place where there's no hate or crime
I'll love you for in Lorien you are a friend of mine
And when this age is over
Remember when we were together
Don't stay too long cause I'll be waiting out West for you
Don't stay too long cause I'll be waiting out West for you

. . .and some more good songs by Arathorn.

Of course you should share, Elfmaster! *takes a swig of the Dwarvish ale, and singing mangled songs rather loudly*

I think I'll mangle a song. Sounds like a good thing to do right now.

Treebeard Happier Song

Great songs --- this thread is addicting

ok - this one is to the tune of 'all star' by Smashmouth

A hobbit once told me
my feet are getting furry
and my waistline doesnt seem to slow down
I'm wearing yellow and green
and blowing smoke rings
and I have a strange fondness for mushrooms ....

(chorus)

Hey now I'm a hobbit
blowing smoke rings oh oh
Hey now I'm a hobbit
Its a great change somehow

all that glitters isnt gold
only shire hobbits break the mold

(end of chorus)

well thats all I could think of off the top of my head - hope you guys/girls like it waaaavvveeeee

This one's for eowyn144:

Dwarvish Case
(Originally Basket Case by Greenday)

Do you have the time to join me in some wine
Before hewing and score-keeping at Helm's Deep
I am one of those
Axe-swinging Khazad fools
Meat-picking to the bone
No doubt about it

Sometimes I find myself near trees
Sometimes my count plays tricks on me
My score keeps piling up
I may just show you up
Am I the better dwarf?
Or are there Huorns?

I met an Elf Queen,
She went through all my dreams
She said she saw herself; that sure shut me down
I spoke to an orc
Before I made short work
But he kept whining, then someone shut him down

Sometimes I find myself near trees
Sometimes my count plays tricks on me
My score keeps piling up
I may just show you up
Am I the better dwarf?

Aided by some Huorns
So I better hold on

Sometimes I find myself near trees
Sometimes my count plays tricks on me
My score keeps piling up
I may just show you up
Am I the better dwarf?
Or are there Huorns?

I cnat help noticing a trensd here of ppl (and elves and hobbits) stealing my alcohol! Ahh well, im a kind elf and don't mind sharing. Well here's a song i wrote in the drunk, rowdy and mangledness of the momnet

Based on 'Aladdin Sane' David Bowie
Frodo Baggins
By E XK

Watching him dash away, taking only
A faithful Sam
What a strange fate for you
Uh-h-h-uh-h-uh you’ll make it
Precious shiney old thing, take him
Away to Mordor – has to take it
Terrible, powerful One ring
Uh-h-h-uh-h-uh – you’ll make it

Who will help Frodo Baggins
With a ring of power going back to its
Origins
Who will help Frodo Baggins

Mordor so scary, certainly like hell – I’m
Waiting
Clutches of Sauron within
Wait for Frodo Baggins – you’ll make it

Who will help Frodo Baggins
Millions hope on the little hobbit of Shire
Origin
So who will help Frodo Baggins

Will help Frodo Baggins
Who will help Frodo Baggins

Who will help Frodo Baggins
Millions hope on the little hobbit of Shire
Origin
So who will help Frodo Baggins

Will help Frodo Baggins
Will help Frodo Baggins

Say the fires are oh so hot in Mount Doom


I LOVE GREENDAY TOO!!! GO ARATHORN! YEAH!!! *Sings and jumps to 'Dwarvish case. Wow, dizzy*

Yeah, eowyn12squared. You asked for Greenday, right?

Anyway, here's one from Starship:

Sauron
(Originally Sarah by Starship)

Mists now, there's no point, we have lost the line
Drift on; it's no good to repent our crime
I'll never find another Lord like you, for Middle-Earth it just takes two
Without Uruk-hai, the dream won't come true

Chorus
Sauron, Sauron, plots are brewin' in your eye
Sauron, Sauron, no time is a good time for reprise

Danger came with halflings and stakes were high
Stranded, I once stood stranded while those Ents stood by
I'll never find another Lord like you, for Middle-Earth it takes two
Without Uruk-hai, the dream won't come true

Sauron, Sauron, plots are brewin' in your eye
Sauron, Sauron, no time is a good time, oh
Sauron, Sauron, plots are brewin' in your eye
Sauron, Sauron, no time is a good time for reprise

('Cos Sauron) Taught me like no one has ever taught me before
(And Sauron) Tempt me; no one could ever tempt me more
(And Sauron) Sauron, nobody used me anymore

I'll never find another Lord like you
Without Uruk-hai, the dream won't come true

Sauron, Sauron, no time is a good time, oh

Chorus

Sauron, Sauron, plots are brewin' in your eye
Sauron, Sauron, no time is a good time, no Ooh
Sauron, why did it, why did it, why did our plan fall apart...
