Alternative Soundtrack

[Black Rider]

This thread is exactly the title. If LOTR could be set with contemporary pop/rock music, what songs would be where?

for example, when Frodo and Sam set out to go to Mordor, we could hear Vanessa Carlton's 1000 Miles, or when Arwen and Aragorn are talking in the forest at Rivendell, we could hear Kylie Minogue's Love at First Sight

well, those are kinda bad, but you can all think of others...

i hope... lol

[Sindarin]

How about the U2 song "The Sweetest Thing" to symbolize the friendship between Frodo and Sam. lol

[Miruvor]

The oldies stations give lots of Ideas:

Elanor, gee I think your swell,
and you really suit me well,
you're my pride and joy, etc. (sung by Sam)


He aint Heavy, he's my brother. (again by sam)

Liar! (by 3 Dog Night to Saruman)

You are so Beautiful, to me. (Gimli to Galadrial)

Wildfire! (Background music for Shadowfax.)

Fire! I want you to burn! (Theme song for Mount Doom or
Denathor)

Eve of Destruction. (just before the Pellanor Fields)

Sister Goldenhair. (Eowyns theme song)

[Sindarin]

Sister Goldenhair

[Sindarin]

Here's another song about Eowyn :loveyou:

Sting's "Fortress around your Heart".

[Daisy Gamgee]

When Strider first appears in Bree, you could have Hot Chocolates "Where you from ,you sexy thing"playing on a juke box in the back lol

[TheRingBearer]

lol

[Black Rider]

lol lol lol
awh that could be legolas's theme hehehe

[Daisy Gamgee]

Sorry, hon I got it first so its reserved for Aragorn...:p

Legolas can have the fame song - "I'm gonna live for ever, i'm gonna learn how to fly...."

[Black Rider]

LOL that's hot!!

the movie ppl should play "sweet home alabama" whenever a hobbit is thinking of the shire, but dub over it "sweet home shire"

or maybe Angel by Sarah "someone" (City of Angels Sndtrck)
