Thumbs up Totaly inapropriate!

Okay, I've had a good search of these here Forums and couldn't find a similar thread, but I may have missed it so forgive me if I have...

Talking to my older sibling, we came up with an amusing game in which we named the most inappropriate actor (and or famous personality) to play the part of a Character from Tolkien. Not just The Lord of the Rings, but also; The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, Farmer Giles of Ham, Tom Bombadill ect and so on.

Expanding on this, we then continued to make up other situations, such as; completely inappropriate music for certain scenes, silly hats, sound effects and so on.

So here is my idea for this thread:

Chose from the following (or do all of them if ye wish)
- Come up with a completely ironic / inappropriate person to play a part of a character from Tolkien.
- Music that would be amusing in a specific place.
- Sound effects that would make the whole experience much more amusing

I want to give everyone a lot of freedom in this, so if you can come up with something more amusing to parody besides actors, music, sound effect ect, please do.

Oh, and if you wish, give an explanation for you choice.

SO finally, here's my take:

Brian Blessed to play Legolass for the soul reason that his voice is completely different to what any elf should have, also, he looks rather Dwarvish.

"In the Hall of the Mountain King" (Or "That tune they use at Alton Towers" for all ye who don't know what I'm talking about) for the Shire theme music. Perhaps not during the scoring of the shire, but when it is peaceful it would really give the wrong impression.

Instead of the clash of metal when swords collide, the sound of a small furry thing being put through a mangle. That way no one really notices the violence due to the pure insanity of the sound effects.

Please enjoy.
