PRANCING PONY REGULARS:
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught up in an epic, as escape from reality.
Open the book, take a good look and see.....
FRODO:
I'm just a Hobbit,
Is this my destiny?
RING:
Because I'm easy come, but won't go.
SAURON, FRODO, GOLLUM, BILBO:
It takes you high, takes you low
Anywhere the Ring goes,
Yes it really matters,
To me...
FRODO:
To me!
(Treebeard plays short piano 'hook')
BILBO:
Gandalf-just found a Ring,
Was a creature called Gollum's,
Now he's lost it, he is glum.
Gandalf-I thought death had come,
But wearing it just helped me get away!
(Haldir joins on drums)
Gandalf- ooh, ooh, oooh, oooooh!
Didn't mean to tell a lie.
But I will keep it safe until tomorrow,
And on, and on.
Though it doesn't really matter?!
(Tom Bombadil joins them, playing bass guitar)
GANDALF:
Too late! It's time has come!
Though I'm shivering with fear,
Give it up to Frodo dear.
Come on everybody-he's got to go.
Got to leave the Shire behind and face the truth!
Frodo-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooooh!
BOROMIR:
Anywhere the Ring goes.
FRODO:
I don't want to die.
GANDALF:
My boy, I wish It'd never been made at all!
(Eowyn plays a really excellent guitar solo!!)

Really excellent use of the original here. Great work throughout. I was afraid you would end up using the original too much, but you made it work for the parody, rather than against it. Especially liked 'I'm just a Hobbit, somebody help me!', spitting in Sauron's eye, and the lesser-knowns of the LOTR world rockin' out as the song progresses.
The website was really good too.

Awesome!
well done! 5's
Without much of an explanation as to why, I clicked on this baby with much trepidation. Congratulations on proving me wrong. Very VERY nice work!
I was ESPECIALLY fond of Haldir's drum playing...hehehe...and
He's just a Hobbit, Give him some elevensies!
I could honestly go on. But I won't. I Loved It. That's all.

Somehow, combining Queen with Tolkein works. I especially likes how you connected OUR Arwen's boy Orlando Bloom (Legolas) with the highest-pitched voice in the original song. (Ducks as she throws her handbag at him.) Whew, that was close.
