Wow, good songs, people! Especially like the Riding in the Wain one, Arathorn.

Hmm. I think it's time for a little bit of a change. . .*pulls out a bottle of vodka.*

Allright, I blame you people for this. You've got me infected.....I mangled a song! *everybody hides at hearing this horrible prospect*

Minas Tirith (sung by Denethor)
(original tune: Gotham City by R. Kelly)

I'm standing on the walls of Minas Tirith
The City of Anor shines brightly in the sun
I can look east but I don't fear it
My city is strong, I will not run

City of Knowledge, city of Lore
The Watchful city in the light of day
We all live here, won't ever leave it
Minas Tirith oh yeah

The future I can see in my Palantir
A good Steward is also a good seer
We lost our last King so long ago
But Gondor no longer needs a King, hell no

City of Knowledge, city of Lore
The Watchful city in the light of day
We all live here, won't ever lleave it
Minas Tirith oh yeah

City of Knowledge, city of Lore
The Watchful city in the light of day
We all live here, won't ever leave it
Minas Tirith oh yeah

And in the middle of the Dawnless day
The gates will tremble and I will burn
But I know my city will survive me

City of Knowledge, city of Lore
The Watchful city in the light of day
We all live here, won't ever leave it
Minas Tirith oh yeah

Minas Tirith
Minas Tirith
Minas Tirith
.......

Great songs everybody.
Overview of Current Thread:
Arathorn has had a mad Yoda/Tequila induced mangling spree, mangling about twelve songs in the space of five minutes (with the help of the worm).
Earniel has finally tried her hand at song-mangling to great alcohol-influenced effect.
BoP is wondering what the hell is going on as she had no idea about the tequila thing and then visits the thread finding a load of drunk mooters there. She then joins in with the madness and starts referring to Goldfish.
Strawberry Milkshake and XK are being worried Veggies after the confession about the worm in the American Tequila.
And me...
I'm just as drunk!

Eruviel Greenleaf's request...

'Findel
(Originally Daniel; Music by Elton John; Lyrics by Bernie Taupin)

'Findel is traveling tonight on to Bree
He can see the Ring Wraith strides heading across the planes
Oh and I can see 'Findel calling us nigh
Yes it looks like 'Findel, not the corruption of the Eye

They say Rivendell's pretty though I've never been
Well Bilbo says it's the best place that he's ever seen
Oh and he should know, he's been there enough
Strider, I miss Gandalf, oh I miss him so much

'Findel my savior you lent your horse to me
But I still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal
Elrond has tried and I did not go die
'Findel you're a star in the face of the sky

'Findel is traveling tonight on to Bree
He can see the Ring Wraith strides heading across the planes
Oh and I can see 'Findel calling us nigh
Yes it looks like 'Findel, not the corruption of the Eye
Oh Yes it looks like 'Findel, not the corruption of the Eye

Well Done Arathorn!!!

Hee hee. There's a v. embarassing story involving this song.
I was in France a while back in a holiday camp (don't ask); and there was a Kareoke evening on the Thursday, so I decided to have a go. I was looking through the list and I saw the Elton John songs and I thought: I'll have a go.
That was at 8.00.
I finally got to sing at 10.45 and I was mesmerised by the rubbishness of the video. So mesmerised in fact, that at one point I forgot to sing! I was so embarassed.

*Sings kareoke of mangled version*

Right... where's the Tequila. GG, Eowyn and Strawberry know what I'm like when I have (substitute) Tequila in my system. Actually it's Slush Puppie but there is v. little difference apart from the absence of the worm. The great worm...
*Hiccup*

I have another song!!! Warning though, it doesn't make much sense and is far from accurate, but that's alright. At least I finally wrote it!

Evil Dark Rider (originally Paperback Writer, The Beatles)

Evil Dark Rider
Hey, Dark Lord, will you give me a Ring ?
I want some power, and I'm a human king.
I've ruled so long without much glory
I don't want to die,
So I want to be an evil dark rider
Evil Dark Rider
It's a boring life in a boring land
And it seems nobody can understand
My kingdom simply is not enough
It's a steady job
But I want to be an evil dark rider
evil dark rider, evil dark rider
I want a couple thousand years, give or take a few
And I want to cause fear in not just a few
I can stick around a while if you'd like me to
I can prevent the elves from bein' 'round
And I want to be an evil dark rider
Evil dark rider, evil dark rider
If you really like me you can have my rights
I will ride all over without a fight
I can chase down hobbits, who bear the Ring
But I'll need a Ring,
And I want to be an evil dark rider,
evil dark rider, evil dark rider
evil dark rider.


And again, I propose something new. . .*takes out a few bottles of cider and starts singing:* 'Oh never, oh never, oh never again, if I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten, 'cause I fell to the ground, and I couldn't get up, after drinking a pint of the johnny jump up' (great song, that! don't think i can mangle it though...or maybe i can!)

Oh I'm sure anything can be mangled under the influence of alcohol!

I made this Limerick up while doing hurdling yesterday (right after I made a dent inthe ground with my head and (I think) broke my foot (I'm serious))!

The Tractor
There once was a tractor called Tractor,
But it had a v. secret factor,
It could talk it could sing,
It even had wings,
And the birds almost died there of laughter.

Ta-da!
WHISKY, I NEED WHISKY! GET ME TO A BAR!

*hands Rosie-lass some whiskey* But you really ought to try my cider!

'I'll tell you a story that happened to me, one day as I went down in Yawl by the sea. The sun it was bright, and the day it was warm. Says I, "A quiet pint woudln't do me no harm." I went into the barman, I said "Give me a stout." Says the barman, "I'm sorry, all the beer 'tis sold out. Try whiskey, or vodka, ten years in the wood," Says I, "I'll try cider, I've heard that it's good."'

Yeah, I'll definitely mangle that one

Thankyou for the Whisky.
I'll try some of your cider... is it home-brewed? I need a different taste.

*tries some of Eruviel Greenleaf's cider*

Ahhh...That's so refreshingly sweet! <hiccup>

BTW, that's a really cute limerick Rosie-Lass. I almost forgot that there's also a limerick's thread somewhere here...

Oh well, here's the new song which was sung by Barbra Streisand and Bryan Adams for the movie THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES:

I Finally Forged The One
(Originally I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE by B.Adams/B.Streisand/M.Hamlisch/R.J.Lange)

I finally forged the One, that knocks them off their feet
I finally forged the One, that makes me feel complete
It started with the Eldar, they started forging rings
It's funny how from simple trinks, the best plans begin

This Ring is different (dah dah dah dah)
With all my malice too (dah dah dah dah)
It's better than my other tricks
'Cause it can corrupt too
Oohh, my favorite line was "This one's precious and mine!"
It's all you had to say to give your soul away

(Chorus)
This is it, oh, they're all bound by the One
The One that corrupts life
They're all bound by the One, to be bound day and night
'Cause whatever they do, they just got to have you
All life will be undone
They're all bound by the One, ooh, the One
They're all bound by the One, oooh

Did I get the Nine Men (they didn't mind)
But not the elf lords (Sauron, that's fine)
I would wait forever just to get them on my side
And I got some dwarves, it sure took some time
I love how you wear, aiding in my crime
You're malevolent, I can't wait to get hold of all life

(Repeat Chorus)

Whatever I do, I just got to wear you
My reign has just begun
I finally forged the One

*hic* Yet another good song, Arathorn!

Okay, I'll try to mangle that one now. *decides not to post another verse of the original, and drinks some cider instead* No, it's not home-brewed, I'm afraid, because the best stuff is the Johnny Jump Up, and it's from Ireland. . .watch out, it's strong stuff, if you couldn't tell from the song!

Good ones!

I've got an idea for another mangled song. God, you guys got me addicted!!! It's stronger than my self, really. Must.... mangle..... song....

I'm afraid it will be a not-booze-induced song as I don't drink much alcohol. *looks guiltily down at her orange juice-filled glass* Um, I guess that makes me the only one who is weird enough to mangle songs without the necessary high levels of alcohol..... auch

You know one of my secrets is not really the booze. It's when I'm about to go to sleep that I mangle. It just sets my mind to be halfway to dreamland.

Come to think of it, my best songs seem to come after 2AM.

Good old alpha state... I get some of my best ideas when I'm sleepy!

Hey, Arathorn, could I make a request, if it hasn't been done? Don McLeans "American Pie"? Please?
