What were peoples favourite Songs or Poems in the book? I have to admit I skimmed over most of them but I learnt something interesting about them the other day.

Did anyone know that Tolkein got alot of his ideas for songs and words in Elvish from an old civilisation in Poland? and all the songs and poems are to the beat of rowing a boat (supposedly)?
