Song Parodies -> Another Hobbit's Tale (Part 5): Sam's Oddity

Original Song Title:	"Space Oddity"
Original Performer:	David Bowie

Parody Song Title:	"Another Hobbit's Tale (Part 5): Sam's Oddity"
Parody Written by:	2nz

This is the second-to-last parody in the official 'Another Hobbit's Tale' series. The series is a six-parody tribute to LOTR, and this one is from Sam's perspective unless otherwise noted and deals with the early events in the third LOTR movie. It really helps the parody if you are a LOTR nut, like me.

Rivendell to mister Sam
Rivendell to mister Sam
Take your cooking gear and lead your master on

(Countdown and 'Lift off' are in elfish)

Bombadil to mister Sam
Commencing climbing, Lembas gone
Check your footing and may Gollum lead you through...

This is Rivendell to mister Sam
I hope your not afraid
Don't look down or you will need new underwear
Please stay strong and guard your master, don't despair

This is mister Sam to Rivendell
Reporting from Mordor
And I'm still not wearing shoes, my feet are sore
I can't sleep with Gollum laying there... HE SNORES

For here, am I carrying a tin pan
Far across the world
Middle Earth is vast and my courage will not last

We have come one-hundred-thousand miles
I miss my faithful Bill
I have failed, my master just sent me away

(To Gollum)
Tell Frodo I love him very much

(Gollum w/ one raised eyebrow)
NO WAY

(Frodo)
Frodo B. to mister Sam
'Away' I said
And I was wrong
Can you hear me, mister Sam?
Can you hear me, mister Sam?
Can you hear me, mister Sam?
Can you...

(Frodo and Sam)
Here... we will dream of kicking Gollum
Far across the world
Middle Earth is vast, he'll need a full-body cast

Sam's closing comments:
I will find whoever has been chanting 'RUDY' when I face off with the spider in the third movie. My name is Sean Bean, I was not the guy in "Rudy". We are two different people. Look it up during the credits.

Great job, 2nz - keep that LOTR flame burning bright on Amiright!

I love love LOVE it, 2nz...you had to know I would. Three 5s from me...but I'm not sure I follow Sam's closing comments. Are you joking there and I'm just really stupid? Because...Sean Bean played Boromir. Sean Astin (aka Rudy) IS Samwise Gamgee.

No, Arwen, you are 110% correct about the name. I meant to say what the nice Lothlorien lady above this comment pointed out everyone. And thank you too, Johnny. It's awesome to be looked forward to (Even though my English teacher would behead me for a sentance like this). Hey, keep your eyes peeled this week for the last one. My rough draft is already done and I can't spoil it, but here are the performers: (Frodo (the hobo) Baggins: vocals), (Sammy Gamgee: piano), (Gollum aka (The plunder down under) aka (Starvin� Marvin): percussion), (Lego-(my eggo)-las: Clarinet), (Gimli (the beer�d), son of Gloin, on saxophone)

Good one, 2nz... Bowie seems well suited for LOTR....

Thanks, Big Mac. My version of this is pretty good, but Johnny D's is great. It's called 'Face Oddity'.

I would like to formally retract my "Sam's closing comments". Whoever it was chanting "Rudy", feel free to continue.

(Fantasy/Sci-Fi) Very good!

Jake A Ralphing (Luke Brattoni) - October 13, 2004 - Report this comment

(SCI-FI) That's one giant leap for Samwise.

Phil Alexander - October 14, 2004 - Report this comment

Lovely, 2nz - great concept, beautifully executed :-)

Johnny D - October 16, 2004 - Report this comment

(Sci-Fi/Fantasy) See above.

(SCI-FI) Even though I'm not into LOTR this one was done well. Favorite line even though I can't reference it in the movie, it made me laugh just the same:

Don't look down or you will need new underwear

Good song, I enjoyed it!

Paul Robinson - October 19, 2004 - Report this comment

(Sci-Fi) Sigh...more LOTR stuff...but I do know the original song...but I don't know anything about most of the characters you use here from the bit of "Fellowship" I watched....so it doesn't mean much to me....sigh...
