Man, I forgot all about this bit from the original animated version by Rankin/Bass of The Return of the King, and then I ended up stumbling across it on youtube. This is one of those tunes that you'll find yourself humming at work! Ha ha.

Where there's a whip, there's a way! - The Return of the King, 1980

Thanks.... now I'm gonna have that tune stuck in my head for weeks!!

*shudder* Some things should remain hidden......

Not a fan of singing Orcs, huh?

Someone reminded me of this a couple weeks back...I agree that it probably should've remained forgotten but hey, this was actually a pretty good way to experience LOTR before we had the movie. I loved this as a kiddo.

"I'd rather be singing a good old Hobbit song myself." Those orcs were great, but strangly tuneful. That music was so 80's! Thank's for that little gem TOK! Never seen it before.

Funny, I have. Disney World Indy Jones shirt with this quote.

This is terrible.

I'll admit they did take some liberties with the look of Gollum in the Rankin/Bass version but he was meant to be a scathing shadow of his former self. In other words, rather fugly. :lol:

The fact that Gollum is 2X the size of Bilbo is something I can't get over. :shut:

Orcking what have you done? I can't stop hearing this.
