LOTR Musical: what songs????

[Nimrothiel]

Hee hee, I got one!

When Aragorn first meets Arwen: Pretty Woman (Roy Orbison)

[Nimrothiel]

How about this...

Sauron/Gandalf: It's been a hard third age, and I've been workin' like a dog...

(Sorry these aren't that funny, but it was spur of the moment.)

[Thulorongil]

The hobbits at Bilbo's b-day sing "how do you solve a problem like Bilbo or Frodo...?"
from the Sound of Music

[Thulorongil]

and everybody can sing "so long, farewell!"
as they leave anywhere

[Orual]

Oh, I thought of another one..."The Red" by Chevelle. For Sam, in Mordor..."Lay down/the thread is real/when his sight/goes red again..."

~*~Orual~*~

[Mintyztwin]

When Frodo and Sam throw all their stuff away, and head up the last part of Mount Doom, they can sing, "Paaaast the point of no return!"

Okay...i have to putin a song from Evita...im not sure if anyone has yet but im going to anyway.....

Aragorn- Real song: Don't cry for me Argintina- Aragorns Version: Don't Cry for me Gondor (hey it might work)

Im doing this play in school so i had to put it!

*.:.Anarya.:.*

[TealDude3]

Here's one

The Men of Gondor: 'Blame Canada' from South Park Bigger, Longer, Uncut, but instead 'Blame Mordor'

Aragorn: Blame Mordor!
Gondor: Blame Mordor!
Aragorn: It seams that everythings gone wrong scence Mordor came along. Blame Mordor!
Gondor: Blame Mordor!
Aragorn: We need to form a full asult. Its Mordor's fault.

[Elven Mistress]

I LOVE it Mintyztwin!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure if anyone (possibly even me) has posted this, but i thought it fitting.
Frodo or Sam could sing Morning Glow from Pippin:
And the phantoms of the night
Will fade into the past
Morning glow is here
At last...

[Taure Leafsilver]

I am bringing this board back from the dead now that thye new movie has come out! please resond! here's one to start off.
the hobbits could sing the theme to "friends"

[arelendil]

Well done for bring the thread back I read this loads of times!!
How about:
Aragorn when he sees Arwen: Ash - There's a star
And not to be going in reverse but what about Eowyn to Aragorn: Kylie - come in to my world

Eowyn: "Independent Women" by Destiny's Child when she's swinging that sword around.

Eowyn (again): "Temptation" by Destiny's Child when she sees Aragorn.

Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli: "Faith" by...take your pick, so many people have done and redone it...when Eomer says, "Do not rely on hope, for it is forbidden in this land."

Arwen: "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia (what happened to her, by the way?) when Elrond is trying to get her to leave for Valinor.

Gollum: "Papercut" by Linkin Park

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

goody, goody! my turn?
For the Uruk-hai when theyre running thru the forest they could sing the Alvin and the Chipmunks song, but with different words:
we are the uruk-hai!
coming to kill you and all of your men!
we are the uruk-hai!
coming to get you but you dont know when!
stupid eh!!
And...hmm....
while Aragorn and Arwen are standing on that little bridge in Rivendell in FOTR, they could sing "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston
cant think of anything else
o ya in Weathertop Frodo and the Ringwraith king could sing "Wannabe" by Spice Girls or w/e its called..

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

GAAHHH!!! thats horrible!! ignore my above reply, except for the Aragorn-Arwen one. thats ok. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

[VanimaEdhel]

Can you not see, "I Like Him" from Man of La Mancha being sung by Sam?

[Taure Leafsilver]

Sounds like a conversation between Sam and Galadriel about him going home.

[HammerTime]

I'd have to say Frodo singing "I will survive" at umm well... Through most of the show actually!

[Artanis]

Frodo should sing Iris, 'cause the chorous is

And I don't want the world to see me/ cause I don't think that they'd understand/ when everythings made to be broken/I just want you to know who I am.

Yeah, stupid...it's late.

[Sadbh]

Sauron: 'I Just Can't Wait to Be King'- The Lion King
Arwen: Valley Girl- I have no idea.
Legolas: Dancing Queen- ABBA
The Other Legolas Song: Barbie Girl- Aqua

Sorry, all I could think of as of now. Oh well...
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Strange, huh?

[ January 01, 2003: Message edited by: Sadbh ]

[Taure Leafsilver]

I love the song Iris

[Beren87]

I could see Sam at the end of Rotk, after a few years have passed just jumping up on a rock, puling out an acoustic guitar and start playing "Time of your life" by Greenday.

"When Im Gone" by 3 Doors Down sung by Aragorn to Arwen.

[ January 08, 2003: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

[Orual]

LoL, Beren, I love the "Time of Your Life" idea!

Okay, how about

-"Down" by Fuel for Gollum? Really Sméagol to Gollum..."I know you want me to love you/All you ever do is bring me down/Won't you go away forever..." Of course, that last line clinched it for me.

-"Last Time" also by Fuel for Frodo. I can't really point out any particular lyrics, the whole song really fits him as he relates to the Ring..."I'm not the first you sucked down," etc. He keeps promising himself that "this is the last time," as in the last time he uses the Ring.

-If you change the pronouns around a little bit, the chorus of "Bad Day" by Fuel (I got "Something Like Human" for Christmas, so sue me) rather fits Sam and Frodo, as narrated by Sam.

-In addition to "Hey, Ho, to the Bottle I Go" can you imagine "Closing Time" by Semisonic at the Green Dragon?

~*~Orual~*~

[Garen LiLorian]

The Ring; One is the lonliest number. (I don't know who that's by)

Sauron and the Ring; Ain't no Mountain High Enough (Marvin Gaye and... Someone)

The Nazgul on Weathertop; Thriller (complete with dance routine) (Michael Jackson)

Sam and Frodo at the base of Mt. Doom; I Got You Babe (Sonny and Cher)

Gollum; a slightly modified version of "Under the Bridge" (Sometimes I feel like I don't have a precious, sometimes I feel like my only friend is the Hobbit named Frodo, Frodo he loves me. Lonely as I am, together we cry) (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

Frodo and Sam (again); What would Strider the Ranger do (from what would bryan boytano do) (Trey Parker and Matt Stone)

Sam when Frodo's in Minas Morgul; A touching rendition of "On My Own"

Merry; "Dude looks like a lady" about Dernhelm

The Nazgul; Back in Black (AC/DC)

The Council of Elrond; Do you Hear the People Sing? (It'll be a rousing number right before intermission)

Aragorn; "Walk this Way" About Arwen. (Hey. I had to slip the Aerosmith reference in there somewhere. And the song's about older women too. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] )

I think that's plenty

[Beren87]

"One is the lonliest number" is actually just called "One" and is by Three Dog Night.

I really like the Nazgul and Back in Black. I could see it playing in a scene right as they cross the river Isen.

[ January 08, 2003: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

[Garen LiLorian]

Oo, oo. And we can have "We will rock you" for Helm's Deep. PJ already started that one with the Orcs banging spears outside. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

[Thulorongil]

I don't know if these have been said but:

How do you solve a problem like the One Ring? (Maria, from the Sound of Music)

I also see Saruman standing on top of Orthanc singing "the Hills are Alive (with the sounds of music)"

Or the hobbits singing, snubbing Bilbo for going on an adventure to the tune of "Oliver" from Oliver

How about Arwen or Eowyn singing "Bring Him Home" from Les Miserables about Aragorn?

[The Saucepan Man]

Oh, oh, I've got it...Arwen should sing, "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman" to Aragorn.

Diamond18, that is inspired. And "Why's everybody always picking on me" was Charlie Brown by the Coasters - perhaps re-named Pippin Took:

"Pippin Took, Pippin Took
Fool of a Took, Pippin Took

He's gonna get caught
Just you wait and see

Why's Gandalf always picking on me"

I feel a '60s theme coming on ...

Frodo to Sam: Stand by me (Ben E King, John Lennon and many others)

Sam to Frodo: You'll never walk alone (Gerry and the Pacemakers)

Sauron: Paint it Black (The 'Stones) - "I see a White Tower and I want to paint it Black" or Black is Black (Los Bravos) - "Black is Black, I want my One Ring back"

Tom Bombadil - Anything hippy, perhaps San Francisco (Scott McKenzie) - "If you're going to Old Man Willow, Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair"

Orc (having just made Aragorn's acquaintance at Helm's Deep) - Bits and pieces (Dave Clark Five) - "Bits and pieces, I'm in bits and pieces"

She-Warg (about Warg who's just gone over the cliff with Aragorn) - Leader of the pack (Shangri-Las) - "Hey, is that Jimmy's nose ring you're wearing"

Gandalf (the White) - Whiter shade of pale (Procol Harum) or I'm Alive (The Hollies)

The Balrog - Fire (Crazy World of Arthur Brown) - "You're gonna burn"

Legolas (the film one) - Surfin' USA - "All the Elves are shield surfin', surfin' Middle Earth"

Balin - Khazad Dum (New York) Mining Disaster (the Bee Gees)

Frodo (at Ammon Hen) - I can see for miles (The Who)

Oh, and one from the 70s ...

Bard the Bowman (having just killed Smaug): Smoke on the water (Deep Purple)

[img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[Merri]

*shudder*

[Airerûthiel]

Somebody wrote one of these once for a site called fanfiction.net I think...

I'd have:
*Aragorn and Arwen - Summer Nights (Grease)
*Legolas - Big Spender (Sweet Charity)
*Gandalf - I Think I'd Better Think It Out Again (Oliver!)
*Éowyn - I Don't Know How To Love Him (Jesus Christ Superstar)
*Gimli - With A Little Bit Of Luck (My Fair Lady)
*Arwen, Galadriel and Éowyn/Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli - Three Little Maids (The Mikado)
*Frodo, Merry, Pippin and Sam - America (West Side Story) - "One Ring to destroy in Middle-earth!"

[VanimaEdhel]

Legolas: "Macho Man" by the Village People

Wormtongue: "She Hates Me" by Puddle of Mudd about Eowyn

Eowyn: "I'm Not A Girl (Not Yet A Woman)" by the She-Devil...erm...I mean Britney Spears...honestly, though: it is a good Eowyn song

Another Eowyn: "It's Raining Men" by the Weather Sisters when Aragorn, Gimli, Gandalf, and Legolas come riding up

Arwen: "I'll Be There For You" (the "F*R*I*E*N*D*S" Theme Song) to Aragorn

Saruman: "Hallie's Song" by Eminem about his Uruk-Hai

Another Arwen: "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi

Another Eowyn: "All the Things You Said" by TATU

Gollum/Smeagol: "I Am Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera (who is apparently calling herself "Xtina" now... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] )

[Taure Leafsilver]

Hey Im back! how about merry and pippin sing "one more mile untill we get to heaven" from "best little... ok I don't think I can say that word uh -----house in texas"

one more mile untill we get to heaven, one more mile untill our plans are laid, one more mile untill we get to rivendel

[Balin999]

Aragorn in the movie: Who let the wargs out *who who who who*

Sauron, vanishing: Don't cry for me Barad-Dur! (Evita-Madonna)

The Nazgul on their new steeds: Back in Black (AC/DC)

[ January 14, 2003: Message edited by:
Balin999 ]

The entering cave troll in the movie: Big 'un (Instead of Big Gun, AC/DC)

[ January 14, 2003: Message edited by: Balin999 ]

[Balin999]

At the battle of Gondor: "It's raining heads, Hallelujah, it's raining heads...."

Aragorn: "I'm just a gigolo" (Louis Prima)

The Hobbits: Born in the Shire (Bruce Springsteen)


The witch king: I put a spell on you! (CCR)

[Balin999]

Sauron "If I could turn back time" (Cher?)

[Sillabub]

i think Sam and Rosie should sing "All I Ask of You" from phantom of the opera during the shourering of the shire


lets see maybe some one sing "Up, UP, UP, to the hevy side lair" when sam carries frodo to Mt. doom?

Saruman: In my coat of many colors (from Joseph and the technicolored dream coat)

Arwen: Love Me Love Me (Dont know name of Artist) --Dureing that mushy bridg scene

Sauron singing the theme from Phantom of the Opera to Frodo and Sam in Mordor...think about it...
"My power over you
Grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me
To glass behind
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside your mind..."

Yes, gotta love Joseph! "It was red and yellow and green and brown and scarlet and black and ochre and peach and ruby and olive and violet and faun..." I know the rest, but I'm too lazy to go on.
Ok, I saw it on Mouth of Sauron, but it's great!

"The Orcs are gonna have their day tonight"
"The West is gonna have its way tonight."

And since I'm also a Mizzie, there is this line in Les Miserables that would fit in excellently if Gandalf said it. Guess where?
"This is a warning to us all, these are the shadow of the past."

In fact, if LotR were a musical, Colm Wilkinson would make a good Gandalf.
Again, merging Les Mis and LotR, Arwen could sing "I Saw Him Once" or "In My Life", Eowyn could sing "On My Own", Gandalf could sing "Bring Him Home" to Gwaihir when telling him to go rescue Frodo and Sam.


Oh, and Rebecca Caine might make a good Arwen. I think Lea Salonga would be a good Eowyn, but I won't recommend, her, as she is blonde.

Thanx to MANY people for those quotes...Well, there are those people who keep taking the JOSEPH idea before I can post it, but oh well! and Thanx to Rhynoah the overly-happy for the gollum phatom of the opera post on the 'LOTR meets ALW' thread! it was realllly funny!

Anyways, For some reason I composed music for the TB poems, but I can't write it out in a legible format (if any format at all...) and I can really imagine Frodo skipping along the trails to Mordor while grinning idiotically...yes I know I'm strange
