Sometimes things just snowball.<\/p>\n Sometimes things just snowball.<\/p>\n
So, in the name of procrastination and work avoidance, here’s another (our last, honest!) Tolkien-style parody of a Taylor Swift song. This time we’re riffing off a little tune (you may have heard of it) called We are never, ever getting back together<\/a><\/i>. <\/p>\n This parody is 90% the sterling work of Barlichatter Elanesse — particularly the quite tricky verses. I just provided the backing vocals, as it were. <\/p>\n Then Boromir stands up and has a say Trust me, give Gondor this weapon for a day<\/p>\n We say, you’re crazy Oooh we called the Fellowship off last night We are never ever ever beating Sauron together You go shout But we are never ever ever ever beating Sauron together Dwarves and elves are always picking fights Oooh we called the fellowship off again last night We are never ever ever beating Sauron together You go shout But we are never ever ever ever beating Sauron together<\/p>\n I used to think, that Gandalf, was really clever Huh, he calls me up and he’s like, it’s the One Ring We are never beating Sauron together, like ever<\/p>\n We are never ever ever beating Sauron together You go shout But we are never ever ever ever beating Sauron together<\/p>\n We, oooh, oooh, not beating him together, we You go shout But we are never ever ever ever beating Sauron together Sometimes things just snowball.

\nWe are never ever beating Sauron together<\/h3>\n
To the tune of Taylor Swift’s We are never ever getting back together<\/a><\/h4>\n
\nI remember when we met up the first time
\nLord Elrond looking surly all the time
\n‘Cause like
\nWe didn’t really like each other’s hair
\nWhen he, said we, were doomed. (What?)<\/p>\n
\n“Why not use this ring” to keep Mordor at bay?<\/p>\n
\nWe stand up
\nWe argue
\nI hate you<\/p>\n
\nBut oooh, this time I’m telling you, I’m telling you<\/p>\n
\nWe are never ever ever beating Sauron together<\/p>\n
\nTo your dwarves shout
\nTo my elves
\nRant at me<\/p>\n
\nLike ever…<\/p>\n
\nTrust issues, and hobbits are somewhat lacking in their height
\nAnd you, hide away the fact you are a king with
\nsome forged sword that’s much cooler than mine<\/p>\n
\nBut Oooh, this time I’m telling you, I’m telling you<\/p>\n
\nWe are never ever ever beating Sauron together<\/p>\n
\nTo your dwarves shout
\nTo my elves
\nRant at me<\/p>\n
\nAnd I used to say, best smoke rings ever<\/p>\n
\nAnd i’m like, i’m just, I mean this is exhausting, you know<\/p>\n
\nWe are never ever ever beating Sauron together<\/p>\n
\nTo your dwarves shout
\nTo my elves
\nRant at me<\/p>\n
\nOh, beating him together<\/p>\n
\nTo your dwarves shout
\nTo my elves
\nRant at me<\/p>\n
