Okay, it's hard to keep away....I made another one. This is one that would be perfect for Eruviel:
Laurelin and Telperion (originally: Bonny Portmore from Loreena McKennit) O Laurelin, Telperion how Kementari does grieve The woefull destruction of your ornament leaves For you brought life to Aman for many's the long day Til the darkness of Ungoliant came to drain it away O Laurelin, Telperion you're shining were you stand Your glow lights fair Valinor beyond the mortal lands The Calaquendi saw your light, the avari never did All the lords of Elven Tirion could not reproduce your light All the elves and the Valar, they bitterly weep Saying one fruit and flower is all we could keep For the silver light of Telperion is now forever drowned And the green leaves of Laurelin've all fallen on the ground O Laurelin, Telperion you were shining were you stood Your glow no longer lits fair Valinor as it once would The Calaquendi saw your light, the avari never did All the lords of Elven Tirion could not protect your life

Wow! Sone cool songs there, Finrod and Eärniel!
Now here's a beach song by, who else, the Beach Boys:
Valinorian Girls (Originally CALIFORNIA GIRLS by Brian Wilson/(Mike Love uncredited lyricist)) Well Greenwood elves are hip I really dig those bows they bear And the Gondor girls with the way they talk They knock me out when I'm down there The Shire-Folk farmer's daughters really make you feel alright And the Lorien girls with the way they kiss They keep their elf-boys warm at night I wish they all could be Valinorian I wish they all could be Valinorian I wish they all could be Valinorian girls Aman's coast has the sunshine And the elves all get so tanned I dig a silmarily on Undying 'land Morgoth must've lost one in the sand I been all around this Middle-Earth And I seen all kinds of girls Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get across the sea There to the cutest girls in Arda I wish they all could be Valinorian I wish they all could be Valinorian I wish they all could be Valinorian girls I wish they all could be Valinoria (Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the) I wish they all could be Valinoria (Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the) I wish they all could be Valinoria (Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the) I wish they all could be Valinoria (Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)

After a long argument with the muse...
Here's one from Phil Collins: (yawns before bedtime)
UNDYING ISLES (Originally ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE by Phil Collins) He Sneaks Out With A Man After Bree 'Sir, Can You Help Me? We're told That Gandalf here We'll See, Is There Somewhere He May Now Be?' They Walk On, Some Wraiths On Their Tail They Pretend They Can't Hear Them Starts A Gallop As He Rides To The Ford Seems The River Just Gulped Them Oh Think Twice, It's Another Day For You In These Undying Isles Oh Think Twice, It's Just Another Day For You, You In These Undying Isles He Runs Off To The Land Past The Marsh He Can See It's Been Dying He's Got Slinker On The Trail With Webbed Feet Stinker Talks But He's Lying Oh Think Twice... Eru, Is There Nothing More That Manwe Can Do Eru, There Must Be Something You Can Say You Can Tell From The Lines On His Back You Can See Orcs Have Been There Probably Been Thrown Off From That Dreary Place 'Cos He Didn't Fit In There Oh Think Twice... Rosie-Lass's is SOO GOOD! She'll be posting it soon.

Wow! I'm gone for just 5 days (on a quest!) and look at all the wonderful songs that have sprouted while I was gone! Well, I'm working on some more songs, and I'll get to work on the songbook when I'm done with that stupid thesis. . .
Arathorn, you said you were taking a break! But it's okay, because your songs are great, as usual...Earniel, yay! Bonny Portmore--I mean Laurelin and Telperion! Okay, well, I loved all the songs, and now I'm off to Tano's play, so 'later! Good luck with your sad song, Strawberry! E XK, so glad you want to try my Sake. Everyone else can too, I've got plenty!!! Good, now that I'm back I can be a drunk elf again! *wanders off to find E XK...in a pub!* ~Drunk Elf #2

Ok, here's a collaboration.
I'll Be There For You : The Rembrandts Mangled by Rosie-Lass with help from Arathorn So no-one told you quests were going to be this way, *clap clap clap clap clap* The food's a joke, you're broke, and that Willow's in your way, Seems like Bill's always stuck in second gear, When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your age, but, I'll be there for you, When the pain makes you crawl, I'll be there for you, Like I've been there before, I'll be there for you, When the Ring's too heavy for you. You're still in bed at ten and Strider was up at eight, I burned our breakfast, so far, things aren't going great, My Gaffer told me there'd be days like these, But what he didn't tell me then was that the Ring'd bring you down on your knees, and I'll be there for you, When the pain makes you crawl, I'll be there for you, Like I've been there before, I'll be there for you, When the Ring's too heavy for you. Frodo: No-one could ever know me, No-one could ever see me, Seems you're the only one who knows, How to cook very nicely, Someone to face the day with, Make it through all the mess with, Someone who'll always like me, Even when I'm under pressure, OOOOOOHHH, YEAH. (Guitar Solo) It's like Bill's always stuck in second gear, When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your aaaaage, I'll be there for you, When the pain makes you crawl, I'll be there for you, Like I've been there before, I'll be there for you, When the Ring's too heavy for you. I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you, I'll be there for you, When the Ring's too heavy for you. (Tambourine)

Well, yesterday on the bus home from Ellensburg (the home of Central Washington University, and Washoe, the first non-human to learn human language), my friend Ondolle (well, that's her Quenya name) and I were trying to mangle some songs, and she came up with quite a few. . .hopefully she will write her very good songs down and post them, but for now here's a short, very silly one...to the tune of 'Grandma was run over by a reindeer.'
Will someone please save us from this maniac, He's tearing up the Shire right and left. We don't know 'im, says his name is Sharkey, And as for you, the book tells all the rest
