Thanks it was my first try at a somewhat put back together mangled version of a song?

Question: when we create these new versions of songs, is that us 'mangling' them? Is that what this strange epidemic of 'mangler's block' is all about?

Yup. "Mangling a song" is a better term than "Murdering a song" when you change the lyrics. Otherwise, you'd have people saying:
"I've got Murderer's block...darned!"

XK everyone knew what you meant, you kill songs far to often, does that make you songicidal?
i'm going to go and hide in a very dark cave until her fury dies down, i'll kill a song while i'm at it.

I don't murder songs! They're quite good i think!
However, since EG and I are taking over the world, i grant myself the legal right to murder you...my friend. *evil grin* Arathorn, mangle a song! EG - How is the song book btw, i haven't got a recent copy, but i don't know what went on with it.

All right... I made several songs, some are complete and some aren't. But I'll let you guess what songs they are. Some are easy and some are hard.
1 I’ve followed Elves Time after time I’ve gone to Fangorn But committed no crime And glittering caves I’ve seen a few I’ve had my share Of snow kicked in my face But I’ve come through. Yeah, and we just go on, on, on We are the Fellowship mellon And we’ll keep on walkin’ ’Til the end. We are the Fellowship We are the Fellowship No time for balrogs ‘Cause we are the Fellowship Of the Ring I’ve brushed my hair. And filed my nails. You’ve given me targets and arrows and everything that goes with it I thank you all. But it’s been no bed of elanor No simple boat ride. I consider it no challenge To run across a rope And I frowned while you cried. Yeah, but we just go on, on, on CHORUS 2x 2 Let’s GO! Three guys running down the path Chasing some old orcs Ain’t no sound but the sound of feet Arrows ready to go Are you ready? Are you ready for this? Are you ready to hunt some orc? Out of the air the three guys run Stepping to the sound of the beat. Forth the Three Hunters Forth the Three Hunters And another orc goes And another orc goes Forth the Three Hunters Lurtz, gonna get you, too Forth the Three Hunters 3 Lid-lid-lidless eye Lid-lid-lidless eye Lid-lid-lidless eye (repeat) As I look at this guy No one can stop the lidless eye And oh you, you are my ring And no one can hurt you Oh no. Yes, and I, oh, I’m gonna get you Come on, let me wear you darlin’ Cause I’m the lidless eye. And when I wear you You can bet that I’ll Rule the world. We’ll walk Through middle earth And the hell-on-earth We will share Yes, I, oh I’m gonna get you Nothing can stop me now Cause I’m the lidless eye. 4 Runnin over the plain now babe You’re bird of paradise Niphredilish smile I suppose it’s very nice With a wraith on the left And a wraith on the right You’re rescuing Frodo here. You think you’re something special And you look like Armageddon. Her name is Arwen and she took away my job Just like that Legolas she’s sure to get mobbed All her attention really makes me want to sob Oh, Arwen, Arwen, go away: I want my job. 5 She keeps Edoras safe and Whines about staying home Let me go too, she says Pleading to Aragorn Dresses up, Mounts a horse A cross-dressin’ tour-de-force And any type of similarity You can’t detect From thrones and royalty Well-versed in archery Extraordinarily strong CHORUS Yeah she’s a Dern Helm Got by the general Fightin’ like a Federal Guaranteed to kill Nazgul Ooh, Contraband and golden-haired Honorable and more than fair What a triiiiip To avoid complications She never said a single word In conversation She had no opinion, no Little man In front’a her Never knew She was a girl But then again, incidentally She was dressed like a man Of, if you came naturally from Rohan Of course you’d be bowin’ But simply to be precise, CHORUS Drop of a sword and she’s out of it Good thing for the Athelas But momentarily out of action Temporarily out of touch Absolutely drives me wild, wild. CHORUS 6 Shadowfax Shadowfax Shadowfax I want to ride my Shadowfax Shadowfax Shadowfax I want to ride my Shadowfax I want to ride my ‘Fax I want to ride my Shadowfax I want to ride her where it’s lax I was Grey Now I’m white Don’t mess with me ‘Cuz you know I bite I say Pip’ Hey get away from that palantir cuz it’ll kill ya

Cute!
Those are mangled queen songs, aren't they? They sound familiar. Let's see if I can guess them: 1) We are the champions 2) Another one bites the dust 5) Killer Queen 6) Bicycle race 3 rings a bell but I can't pinpoint it.

3) Sounds like that godawful Brian Adams song "Everything I do, I do it for you." Meh. I hope I'm wrong...

I've not done one in months, so i'm a little rusty.
What do you think? Alicia Keys- Fallin' I'm not sure if it's the Balrog of Big G singing I Keep on Fallin' down Khazad Dum with you Sometimes i fight you& then you hit me too sometimes i draw blood and times i feel bruised i get concussion, makes me so confused i keep on fallin down and out the dum with you i never hit someone the way that i hit the ground Ow, ow owwwwwww, i never felt this way this is deep without measure, it causes so much pain just when i think i'm fallin with a fool i'm still fighting with you i keep on fallin down and out the dum with you i never hit someone the way that i hit the ground Chorus of ow's i keep on fallin down and out the dum with you i never hit someone the way that i hit the ground x3

Nope, BOP. I wouldn't torture you with Bryan Adams. 1, 2, 5, and 6 are right (Good job, E!) I'm particularily proud of Dern Helm (Killer Queen). Children of the 60s should know 3 and children of the 80s should know 4. More hints tomorrow.

Here's one for my friend EG...
Anywhere Frodo
(Originally FOLLOW YOU DOWN by The Gin Blossoms) Did you see the marsh, I think it means that we are lost Maybe one more coney's all we need I can't really help it if that Gollum's tied in knots Running past the shire, it's just the farthest that I've ever been Anywhere Frodo, I'll follow you down Anyplace you choose to take The One Anywhere Frodo, I'll follow you down I'll follow you down where there's no sun I know we're headed Southward, I can see that dark Mount Doom But still I can't remember anything Let's not bring that vile thing and I'll swear it might be fun It's a long way home when all the trails we've tried have come undone Anywhere Frodo, I'll follow you down Anyplace you choose to take The One Anywhere Frodo, I'll follow you down I'll follow you down where there's no sun How you gonna ever find your peace Running wounded by a morgul blade Are they gonna find us lying face down in black ash So what the hell now, we've already rid ourselves of Him Anywhere Frodo I'll follow you down...

Here's a classic from the Groovy band Seude...
The Beautiful Elves
(Originally THE BEAUTIFUL ONES by Suede) High on wisdom and elven lore, parting for western shore Nancing their hips to the ships, (oh) Orc tracks, Warg tracks, Olog-hai, in Fangorn's wood you hide Rousing his ents again, (oh) Backed up, packed up, past Age 2, Elrond is leaving too So is Galadriel, yeah, (oh) Loud heads, proud heads, from the Sil, got too much rage to kill Left the old lands and gangs, Oh, here they come, the beautiful elves, the beautiful elves (la, la, la, la) Here they come, the beautiful elves, the beautiful elves Loved up, doved up, men abound, one elf will wear man's crown Shaking her gift for her sweet, (oh) High on wisdom and elven lore, parting for western shore Nancing their hips to the ships, Oh, here they come, the beautiful elves, the beautiful elves (la, la, la, la) Here they come, the beautiful elves, the beautiful elves Sam don't think about it, Sam don't cry about it, Because they're beautiful, (yeah, yeah) And if your babies make you weary To want to see me, la, la, la, la... P.S. Thanks again, guys...

Okay, okay you all talked me into it!
#3 (Lidless Eye) was "Duke of Earl" And #4 (Arwen) was "Rio" by Duran Duran. So there.
