    i heard somewhere that a handful of popular bands had done random songs on LOTR/Tolkien. Does anyone know what they are? Imcurious to hear them, since im a pretty big LOTR nerd myself :slight_smile:

    Led Zeppelin have a few songs that have little references to Middle-earth. 'Ramble On', 'The Battle of Evermore' and 'Misty Mountain Hop' are some that come to mind. They aren't really about The Lord of the Rings per se, but they do have little references and they arguably seem inspired in some way by LOTR.

    Oh, and apparently Robert Plant's dog is named Strider.

    I almost forgot! ...Who could forget Leonard Nimoy's 'Ballad of Bilbo Baggins'?

    I got a Spiderman T-shirt
    I got Converse that are rotting off my feet
    I got a bad mustache
    A reoccurring rash
    And not a lot of cash
    I spend it on my stash
    Man, it's good to be a geek

    Well it's good to be a geek
    It's good to be a creep
    It's good to draw my pictures
    that no one will ever see.
    It's good to be a geek
    It's good to be unknown
    It's good I'm never waiting
    right beside the telephone.
    ('cause no one ever...)

    I play Dungeons & Dragons
    I got a 13th level halfling fighter-thief
    Got seven hit die on my back-stab
    Sometimes you know it's good to be a geek.

    It's good to be a geek
    It's good to play the freak
    It's good to comb my mullet
    Once every other week
    As far as I can see
    It's good to play the Wii
    Then stay up painting
    Miniatures til two or three.

    Someday I'll learn to play guitar
    Start up a band and be a star
    And when you wind up pumping gas
    Just fill 'er up and kiss my ass

    I'm addicted to Star Trek
    I'm a Klingon-speaking Federation freak
    I find I'm more inclined
    To spend the bulk of my time
    On the Starship Enterprise
    Than talking to girls I meet

    Well I never get the girl
    But I like to be alone
    'Cause I can always masturbate
    When there's no one home

    It's good to have a plan
    It's good to be the man
    It's good to download porno
    From a website in Japan

    Someday I'll learn to play guitar
    Start up a band and be a star
    And when you wind up pumping gas
    Just fill 'er up and kiss my ass.

    Ninth grade is when I got the swirlie
    Tenth grade is when I got the Indian burn
    Four years of continuous wedgies
    Wore nine pairs of briefs so they could all get a turn

    Someday I'll buy a fancy condo
    Someday I'll drive a car that's more than your house
    Someday you'll kiss my ass...

    It's good to make some noise
    it's good to scream out loud
    it's good to feel immortal
    Like your last name is McCloud

    It's good to be a geek
    It's good to be unseen
    It's good to watch
    The Wrath of Khan on a plasma screen

    It's good to be a geek
    It's good to be the man
    It's good to download porno
    From a website in Japan

    It's good to be a geek
    It's good to be unknown
    It's good I'm never waiting
    Right beside the telephone
    ('cause no one ever...)

    I got a bad mustache
    A reoccurring rash
    And not a lot of cash
    I spend it on my stash
    Man, it's good to be a geek

    You know I don't intend
    To look like Boba Fett
    I got my Holland set
    Although it makes me sweat
    Man, it's good to be a geek.
