I had to check that it was not April 1st when I read in the paper the other day that Lord of the Rings is to be made into a musical. Or rather, it already has been made into a musical in Canada, but is being transferred to London.
I would like to think that the old Chas & Dave song Rabbit has been adapted for the show… “Hobbit, hobbit, hobbit, hobbit… etc.” At the very least Sophie Ellis Bextor’s song ‘Mordor on the Dance Floor’ should feature somewhere.

This is not the best blog in the world; its a tribute | Hosted by Midphase of 115 Broadway, Floor 5 New York, NY 10006, United States
Anything I write here is my own opinion and is not endorsed by my employers, the Labour party (nationally or locally), my family, the cat, the dog, the other dog, West Ham United FC or anyone else - and especially not Midphase Hosting. Its just a personal blog, in other words: Promoted and published by me on behalf of me (yes its all me, me, me. Vanity publishing at its worst) although I'm not particularly promoting anything, just describing and generally rambling for my own entertainment, but the whole Internet thing is such a grey area you have to be on the safe side don't you? There is always going to be some idiot who takes it all seriously. No names - you know who you are. Not that anyone reads all this stuff at the bottom anyway, not when there is more exciting stuff to do like watching paint dry...

I know that it must be endorsed by the Tolkein estate, but why do I have the feeling that Tolkein must be spinning in his grave over this!
It is surprisingly difficult to think of Tolkein-related song puns. The best I can come up with is ‘wraith, rattle and roll’. I take my hat off to you.
I had also thought about a version of the Pipkins’ 1970 hit….
“Gimme dat ring, gimme dat, gimme gimme dat
gimme dat ring gimme dat, gimme gimme dat” etc. etc.
Or some variation of ‘Begin the Beguine’ (Begin the Baggins?)
