Thanks it was my first try at a somewhat put back together mangled version of a song?

Question: when we create these new versions of songs, is that us 'mangling' them? Is that what this strange epidemic of 'mangler's block' is all about?

Yup. "Mangling a song" is a better term than "Murdering a song" when you change the lyrics. Otherwise, you'd have people saying:

"I've got Murderer's block...darned!"

XK everyone knew what you meant, you kill songs far to often, does that make you songicidal?

i'm going to go and hide in a very dark cave until her fury dies down, i'll kill a song while i'm at it.

I don't murder songs! They're quite good i think!

However, since EG and I are taking over the world, i grant myself the legal right to murder you...my friend. *evil grin*

Arathorn, mangle a song!

EG - How is the song book btw, i haven't got a recent copy, but i don't know what went on with it.

All right... I made several songs, some are complete and some aren't. But I'll let you guess what songs they are. Some are easy and some are hard.

1
I’ve followed Elves
Time after time
I’ve gone to Fangorn
But committed no crime
And glittering caves
I’ve seen a few
I’ve had my share
Of snow kicked in my face
But I’ve come through.
Yeah, and we just go on, on, on

We are the Fellowship mellon
And we’ll keep on walkin’
’Til the end.
We are the Fellowship
We are the Fellowship
No time for balrogs
‘Cause we are the Fellowship
Of the Ring

I’ve brushed my hair.
And filed my nails.
You’ve given me targets and arrows
and everything that goes with it
I thank you all.
But it’s been no bed of elanor
No simple boat ride.
I consider it no challenge
To run across a rope
And I frowned while you cried.
Yeah, but we just go on, on, on
CHORUS 2x


2
Let’s GO! Three guys running down the path
Chasing some old orcs
Ain’t no sound but the sound of feet
Arrows ready to go
Are you ready?
Are you ready for this?
Are you ready to hunt some orc?
Out of the air the three guys run
Stepping to the sound of the beat.

Forth the Three Hunters
Forth the Three Hunters
And another orc goes
And another orc goes
Forth the Three Hunters
Lurtz, gonna get you, too
Forth the Three Hunters


3
Lid-lid-lidless eye
Lid-lid-lidless eye
Lid-lid-lidless eye
(repeat)
As I look at this guy
No one can stop the lidless eye
And oh you, you are my ring
And no one can hurt you
Oh no.
Yes, and I, oh, I’m gonna get you
Come on, let me wear you darlin’
Cause I’m the lidless eye.

And when I wear you
You can bet that I’ll
Rule the world.
We’ll walk
Through middle earth
And the hell-on-earth
We will share
Yes, I, oh I’m gonna get you
Nothing can stop me now
Cause I’m the lidless eye.


4
Runnin over the plain now babe
You’re bird of paradise
Niphredilish smile
I suppose it’s very nice
With a wraith on the left
And a wraith on the right
You’re rescuing Frodo here.
You think you’re something special
And you look like Armageddon.

Her name is Arwen and she took away my job
Just like that Legolas she’s sure to get mobbed
All her attention really makes me want to sob
Oh, Arwen, Arwen, go away: I want my job.


5
She keeps Edoras safe and
Whines about staying home
Let me go too, she says
Pleading to Aragorn
Dresses up,
Mounts a horse
A cross-dressin’ tour-de-force
And any type of similarity
You can’t detect
From thrones and royalty
Well-versed in archery
Extraordinarily strong

CHORUS
Yeah she’s a Dern Helm
Got by the general
Fightin’ like a Federal
Guaranteed to kill Nazgul

Ooh, Contraband and golden-haired
Honorable and more than fair
What a triiiiip

To avoid complications
She never said a single word
In conversation
She had no opinion, no
Little man
In front’a her
Never knew
She was a girl
But then again, incidentally
She was dressed like a man
Of, if you came naturally from Rohan
Of course you’d be bowin’
But simply to be precise,
CHORUS

Drop of a sword and she’s out of it
Good thing for the Athelas
But momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of touch
Absolutely drives me wild, wild.
CHORUS


6
Shadowfax
Shadowfax
Shadowfax
I want to ride my
Shadowfax
Shadowfax
Shadowfax
I want to ride my Shadowfax
I want to ride my ‘Fax
I want to ride my Shadowfax
I want to ride her where it’s lax
I was Grey
Now I’m white
Don’t mess with me
‘Cuz you know I bite
I say Pip’
Hey get away from that palantir cuz it’ll kill ya

Cute!
Those are mangled queen songs, aren't they? They sound familiar. Let's see if I can guess them:

1) We are the champions
2) Another one bites the dust
5) Killer Queen
6) Bicycle race

3 rings a bell but I can't pinpoint it.

3) Sounds like that godawful Brian Adams song "Everything I do, I do it for you." Meh. I hope I'm wrong...

I've not done one in months, so i'm a little rusty.
What do you think?
Alicia Keys- Fallin'
I'm not sure if it's the Balrog of Big G singing

I Keep on Fallin' down Khazad Dum with you
Sometimes i fight you& then you hit me too
sometimes i draw blood and times i feel bruised
i get concussion, makes me so confused

i keep on fallin down and out the dum with you
i never hit someone the way that i hit the ground

Ow, ow owwwwwww, i never felt this way
this is deep without measure, it causes so much pain
just when i think i'm fallin with a fool
i'm still fighting with you

i keep on fallin down and out the dum with you
i never hit someone the way that i hit the ground

Chorus of ow's

i keep on fallin down and out the dum with you
i never hit someone the way that i hit the ground x3

Nope, BOP. I wouldn't torture you with Bryan Adams. 1, 2, 5, and 6 are right (Good job, E!) I'm particularily proud of Dern Helm (Killer Queen). Children of the 60s should know 3 and children of the 80s should know 4. More hints tomorrow.

Here's one for my friend EG...

Anywhere Frodo
(Originally FOLLOW YOU DOWN by The Gin Blossoms)

Did you see the marsh, I think it means that we are lost
Maybe one more coney's all we need
I can't really help it if that Gollum's tied in knots
Running past the shire, it's just the farthest that I've ever been

Anywhere Frodo, I'll follow you down
Anyplace you choose to take The One
Anywhere Frodo, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down where there's no sun

I know we're headed Southward, I can see that dark Mount Doom
But still I can't remember anything
Let's not bring that vile thing and I'll swear it might be fun
It's a long way home when all the trails we've tried have come undone

Anywhere Frodo, I'll follow you down
Anyplace you choose to take The One
Anywhere Frodo, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down where there's no sun

How you gonna ever find your peace
Running wounded by a morgul blade
Are they gonna find us lying face down in black ash
So what the hell now, we've already rid ourselves of Him

Anywhere Frodo I'll follow you down...

Here's a classic from the Groovy band Seude...

The Beautiful Elves
(Originally THE BEAUTIFUL ONES by Suede)

High on wisdom and elven lore, parting for western shore
Nancing their hips to the ships, (oh)

Orc tracks, Warg tracks, Olog-hai, in Fangorn's wood you hide
Rousing his ents again, (oh)
Backed up, packed up, past Age 2, Elrond is leaving too
So is Galadriel, yeah, (oh)
Loud heads, proud heads, from the Sil, got too much rage to kill
Left the old lands and gangs,

Oh, here they come, the beautiful elves, the beautiful elves (la, la, la, la)
Here they come, the beautiful elves, the beautiful elves

Loved up, doved up, men abound, one elf will wear man's crown
Shaking her gift for her sweet, (oh)
High on wisdom and elven lore, parting for western shore
Nancing their hips to the ships,

Oh, here they come, the beautiful elves, the beautiful elves (la, la, la, la)
Here they come, the beautiful elves, the beautiful elves

Sam don't think about it,
Sam don't cry about it,
Because they're beautiful, (yeah, yeah)

And if your babies make you weary
To want to see me,

la, la, la, la...


P.S. Thanks again, guys...

Okay, okay you all talked me into it!
#3 (Lidless Eye)
was "Duke of Earl"

And

#4 (Arwen)
was "Rio" by Duran Duran.

So there.
