Can't Keep My Eye Off Of You ?

Ring Around the Rosey [Cotton]

They Can't Take that Ring Away From Me

Stormy Weather - an ensemble song and dance on Caradharas (sp?)

Dead Man's Party (for the scene where Aragorn calls the dead army to battle - perhaps in the style of the jazz band in Corpse Bride - much more family friendly to lighten up that scene)

I'm kinda stabbing wildly around here. Given the description of the music, I'm uncertain what style they're looking for:

"The music was an amalgam of sounds by Bollywood master A.R. Rahman and Varttina, a Finnish folk group, combined by musical supervisor Christopher Nightingale." [quote from the link]

Uhhh? Who decided the muppets Swedish chef (who actually sounds more Finnish) and the belly dancers ought to team up? Certainly would sound like it's from another world.....

ooh, and I just realized, given the rock opera kind of thing, something must be done with "Pinball Wizard"

[tanah]

well done! props for bringing rosey cotton in! (even if "ring around the rosy" is a sicko song)

i actually missed that quote in the article, and now i'm SQUEE-Y to get the soundtrack. bollywood and vaartina??!?!?!???!?!! OH EM GEE.

if you like nordic music at all, and have not heard vaartina, do go check them out, o ipod goddess...

[solestria]

Yay for Nordic music! I hadn't realized you were a fan.

[aethyric]

i cannot add, as i am usually quite pun-barren, but i must say that PAINT YOUR DRAGON gave me fits. *wipe tears*

[bubbas_brain]

Samwise! How I love ya. How I love ya. My dear old Samwise....

Me And My Shadow (Duet between Frodo and Gollum)

He'll be coming down the mountain when he comes (Gandalf's third day arrival at Helm's Deep)

It's a nice day for a White Wizard.

Old Man Rivendell. (for Elrond)

And "Everthing has its Season..." (theme from Pippin) sung be Peregrin Took.

Oops, I see two of these copy items from the original list. No wonder they came so easily to the top of my head. No plagarism intended.

The Billy Idol reference is priceless, so you're forgiven. ;)

[bubbas_brain]

"Thank You Falletinme Be Mice ELF Agin."

"Is you is, or is you ENT, my baby"
"ENT got nothin'"
"ENT Nobody"
"You ENT Goin Nowhere"
"It ENT Me Babe"
"Two out of three ENT bad"

And for Lynyrd Skynyrd fans, and rock audience requesters everywhere:

Re: Treebeard!!

[kitestream]

Is that King Arthur trying to pull the sword out of (or into) jello??

I love it! Renfair types everywhere have an excuse to do jello shots!!

Re: Treebeard!!

[kinzokutaka]

I'm pretty sure it's our party members trapped in a gelatinous cube, the ultimate jello shot of DOOM!
