Totaly inapropriate! - Page 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Every time Legolas does a phisically impossible stunt, the Indiana Jones theme music should be playing!!!

When the easterlings mounted on Oliphaunts are marching in, they should all be singing "na... na... na... naranana.... nananana... Hey Jude..."

I think it would be amusing to see (or rather, hear) Seth MacFarlane (aka that guy who does Family Guy) doing the voice of Gollum in the Peter Griffin voice.

OR

The Magic Roundabout theme to play whenever Sauron appears.

Those were Haradrim marching north up the Harad Road through Ithilien, not Easterlings.

My mistake, but you get the point =) Edit: No, you didn't... I meant during the Siege of Minas Tirith.

How about, when the fellowship leaves Lothlorien in the elven boats, Aragorn starts singing "Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream.... "

Promplty joined by Boromir and an off-screen voice that strangely resembles Gandalf's

Character: Paris Hilton as Galadriel
Music: Right after Elrond says DOOM! at the council, there should be the music "It's the end of the world as we know it..."

A probably even more inapropriate music would be something like 'The Laughing Police man'.

Perhaps when we first see the Uruk-hai being 'created' down in Saruman's mines we should hear:

"It's life Jim, but not as we know it!"

Or we could go old, old, incredibly old-school.

Charlie Chaplin as Glorfindel
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy as Legolas and Gimli
Harold Lloyd as Aragorn
Greta Garbo as Shelob
Fatty Arbuckle as Aragorn
Groucho Marx as Gandalf (naturally with Chico as Saruman and Harpo as Radagast)
The Three Stooges as Denethor, Boromir and Faramir
Sir Lawrence Olivier as Gollum.
Marlene Dietrich as Ioreth
Randolph Scott as Frodo

Or we could do Carry on Follow that Ring

Sid James as Aragorn
Joan Sims as Arwen
Barbara Windsor as Eowyn
Kenneth Connor as Gandalf
Kenneth Williams as Saruman
Hattie Jaques as Galadriel
Charles Hawtrey as Celeborn
Bernard Bresslaw as Frodo
Peter Butterworth as Merry
Terry Scott as Pippin
Phil Silvers as Denethor

Naturally the music would need to match the cast. The overall theme could be an instrumental of the theme music from Chitty-chitty Bang Bang played on a kazoo. For the first sight of the Shire, we could have Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra from 2001: a space odyssey; Lothlorien would be seen to the strains of the Imperial March from Star Wars, and the entry into Bree would be accompanied by The Dance of the Knights from Prokoviev's Romeo and Juliet. Gandalf would confront the Witch-king at Minas Tirith to the theme music from Roobarb and Aragorn's leitmotif would be a hornpipe played on a tin whistle. For the Mordor scenes, to lighten the mood, a quartet of trombones could play The Teddy-Bears' Picnic. Naturally the swelling chords of Singin' in the Rain would augment the atmosphere at the Field of Cormallen.

Great minds ...

Worst possible casting choices - see post #17 et seq.

I should have known. Obviously I'd forgotten that thread, if I ever saw it, since I only plagiarise when I know I won't be caught. I didn't realise that I'd been cast, though. The casting of James, Sims and Windsor just jumps out, doesn't it?

Rikae · 10-08-2006, 12:03 PM

Elmer Fudd as Gollum/Smeagol
"Be vewwy, vewwy quiet...we're hunting wabbitsssesss!"

This is not mine, but I like it:
Replace the fell beasts with gigantic plush puppy dogs.

Richard Simmons as Aragorn

Fran Drescher as Arwen

Elijah Wood as Frodo.
