If you want to wait, I'll add you to the list and send you a completed version. Right now I think it's less than half the songs...

ok, here goes. This is my first try so I apologise for the poor quality.
Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie (note: this is the version found on Queen Greatest Hits 3, which is a remix)

Frodo: You said Mordor, Mordor is dangerous.
But if that's the only way.
Even a hobbit can see that it's so.
La, la, la, la, (bom bom bom bom) AAH!

Riders on the streets, streets, streets...

Why don't you give Aragorn one more chance?

Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure,
Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure,
Pushing down on me, pulling me further down
What shall I do?
Under pressure, the price of holding the Ring
Gotta make it to the slopes of Mount Doom.

It's the terror of knowing what the Ring is about
Merry and Pippin screaming "Let me out!"
Tomorrow brings me closer to the orcs, Nazgul, and the Cracks of Doom.

Gandalf's gone - died in Khazad Dum
Boromir, I think he is dead too.

Nazgul in the air
Nazgul in the air

It's the terror of knowing what the Ring is about
Merry and Pippin screaming "Let me out!"
Tomorrow brings me closer to the orcs, Nazgul, and the Cracks of Doom.

Turned away from it all, like Isildur
Put the Ring on - its my preciousss!
Then Gollum came along and bit my finger off!
Why?????

We're stuck in Mordor, we're both going to die!

Sam: Mr Frodo, don't give up now
I'm sure that we'll get back home somehow
Come on let's try now, try now, try now...

Hear the sound of the Eagles,
They're coming, they'll take us
Back to Gondor where we're heroes
Look now there's Gandalf
He's alive and we're alright
And everyone's safe now
The Ring's gone and Strider's King
No you're not dreaming
And Strider is King

King of Gondor
King of Gondor
Gondor

There you go, my first attempt, written in a frenzy of pre-exam nerves. (Yes, it probably would have been more prductive to revise!)

Wow! You liked my song! I am so happy!
I still don't think it was nearly as good as the rest in this forum.
Oh well, I'm on study leave soon so lots of time for songs!

I shall try to mangle another Queen song soon, but the easiest one has already been done! (The Show Must Go On) Now I will have to go through my albums finding something to do. I know! I will try and mangle I'm going slightly mad, although I can't guarantee it's gonna rhyme! Here goes...

Your skill in mangling more than shows great potential, young Garina. Feel the melody and the lyrics righting themselves in the stanzas and choruses.

More songs must ye mangle. Yearn for more, our ears do. More songs... More songs...

Wow! Praise from the Bard himself! *Garina does a happy dance around the room, remembers she's posting and sits back down*
Anyway, here is an alternate "I'm Going Slightly Mad"(Queen)

We're going Tolkein mad!

When the temperature in Middle Earth rises
Then the meaning is far too clear
One thousand and one golden elanor
Begin to dance in front of you - oh dear!
Are they trying to tell you something?
You're reading too much maybe?
Your complaint is a serious one
And one that is shared by me!

We're going Tolkein mad
We're going Tolkein mad
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened, oh yes
It finally happened
We're Tolkein mad!
Join us!

You're one tree short of Lothlorien
You are not quite yourself
One jewel short of Smaug's treasure
You start to think that you're an elf!

I'm one meal short of a hobbit
(I'm sure that it's time for tea)
I know far too much trivia
I think I'm a mallorn tree!
We're going Tolkein mad
We're going Tolkein mad
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened, oh yes
It finally happened
We're Tolkein mad!
Join us!

Now we have such an obssession
We're mangling songs freely
We even have a book out
(I'm waiting for edition three*)

We're going Tolkein mad
We're going Tolkein mad
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened, oh yes
It finally happened
We're Tolkein mad!
Join us!

*look, three rhymes with freely, ok
Is it just me, or is half this thread made up of virtual alcohol!
