I looked for something like this, and found none. So here goes:

1. The point of this game is to post lyrics from a song that pertain to a certain person(s), event, or place in Middle-earth. Then other people try to guess the answer.

2. Please post the lyrics, not just the song name. Not everyone knows the same songs.

3. Artist and song name are helpful but not necessary.

4. If you post a song that is not in English, please translate it.

5. You may change one word per line to make it fit your riddle. Put the changed word inside brackets.

Savvy? M'kay. First one:

Quote:

I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way, taking my time but I don't know where
Goodbye, Rosie...

Simon and Garfunkel. Super easy.

wilwarin538 · 07-24-2004, 12:24 PM

ooh this is fun, that would be Sam.

symestreem · 07-25-2004, 10:01 AM

Take it away!

wilwarin538 · 07-25-2004, 11:02 AM

Ok, I dont know how good this is, but its all I could find right know, so:

The Perky Ent · 07-25-2004, 11:02 AM

Aragorn, maybe?

wilwarin538 · 07-25-2004, 11:05 AM

Thats it. Your go.

The Perky Ent · 07-25-2004, 11:12 AM

Ok, here's the next one!

Have at it!

symestreem · 07-25-2004, 01:01 PM

Pippin?

The Perky Ent · 07-25-2004, 01:27 PM

yup!

symestreem · 07-26-2004, 05:27 PM

"And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love
Honey, love the one you're with
Love the one you're with!"

Applies more to the movie.

The Perky Ent · 07-26-2004, 05:39 PM

Sam?

symestreem · 07-26-2004, 05:46 PM

No, this is romantic love the song refers to.

The Perky Ent · 07-26-2004, 05:57 PM

I was talking about Sam's love for Rosie. But...hmm..Eowyn
?

symestreem · 07-26-2004, 06:40 PM

Almost...

It's a good thing that this movie character did not hear this song.

The Perky Ent · 07-26-2004, 09:46 PM

Aragorn?

symestreem · 07-27-2004, 06:53 AM

Give the man a cigar! Oooops, can't do that, it's against the Surgeon General's orders. But you can have the thread.

The Perky Ent · 07-27-2004, 10:14 AM

Screw the Surgeon General

lol, Anyways, here's the next question:

Quote:

Since you've been gone
Well, I feel like I've been chewing on tinfoil
Since you've been gone
It's like I got a great big mouthful of cod liver oil
Oh well, I'm feelin like I stuck my hand
Inside a blender and turned it on
You know, I've been in a buttload of pain
Since you've been gone

Lyrics by Weird Al

Morsul the Dark · 07-27-2004, 10:40 AM

Alright I'm supposed to guess who this is about?

It's most likely Arwen thinking about Aragorn....

I'm not sure I understand this game but thats my answer

Evisse the Blue · 07-27-2004, 11:12 AM

I'm going for Frodo singing about the Ring, at least that's how it sounds like to me.

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-27-2004, 11:41 AM

Piggy-backing on Evisse's idea (

), I'll go for Gollum after Bilbo took the Ring.

symestreem · 07-27-2004, 12:27 PM

Finwe?

The Perky Ent · 07-27-2004, 12:45 PM

All wrong, but good guesses though

wilwarin538 · 07-27-2004, 01:25 PM

maybe sauron about the ring?

Evisse the Blue · 07-27-2004, 03:18 PM

Or Fëanor after Melkor stole the Silmarils and killed his father? *gets weird looks* What? It fits!

symestreem · 07-27-2004, 03:29 PM

Beren and Luthien.

The Perky Ent · 07-27-2004, 04:43 PM

Once again, nice try :P It's easier than you think.

symestreem · 07-27-2004, 05:06 PM

The ents?

The Perky Ent · 07-27-2004, 05:12 PM

For the third time

not yet!

Lady Gamgee · 07-27-2004, 06:56 PM

Gollum?

symestreem · 07-27-2004, 07:31 PM

Sauron about his finger?

Well, it was a guess...

The Perky Ent · 07-27-2004, 08:02 PM

Still nothing! It's really easier than you think!

Morsul the Dark · 07-27-2004, 11:11 PM

aragorn about Gandalf (because he says he cant lead as well as gandalf)"It is a foul omen when all I do goes astray!"(or something like that)

Evisse the Blue · 07-28-2004, 03:03 AM

Eowyn about Aragorn, after he leaves her, heading for the Paths of the Dead?

The Perky Ent · 07-28-2004, 08:47 AM

Good tries, but still no. Think people! It's not that hard.

Morsul the Dark · 07-28-2004, 08:52 AM

either faramir or denetor about boromir

Elennar Starfire · 07-28-2004, 08:52 AM

Bag End about Frodo?

More seriously now...

Rosie and Sam?
Beren missing his hand after it got bitten off?

The Perky Ent · 07-28-2004, 08:55 AM

Elennar Starfire, no, no, and no. And Morsul, pick one.

Morsul the Dark · 07-28-2004, 08:57 AM

denetor

The Perky Ent · 07-28-2004, 09:03 AM

Then no.

Morsul the Dark · 07-28-2004, 09:05 AM

Then Faramir about Boromir
