That particular track in on the soundtrack. Name of the track is "The Return of the King" and it has an awesome reading of the Hobbit theme. Obtain it immediately.

I donno, when he first started singing, my first thought was "oh brother, how cheesy can you get..." but it actually turned out alright... kindof...

It might interest you to know that the song he sings at the end of rotk is the same song he sings in the fellowship of the rings extended edition on the way to weathertop with the hobbitses.

Cheesy? there were songs sung in the books that werent even touched on in the movies. I was kinda dissapointed there werent as many in the first two movies.

*spoilers which arent really spoilers because its an OLD book people :P*

I really like "a storm is coming" and "the steward of gondor"(the song pippin sang while faramir was marching to certain death... kinda) "Into the west" is great, too.

Hopefully when (and if) they make the hobbit movie, there will be more singing. Like the "that's what bilbo baggins hates" song, or the one about smaug that the dwarves sing.

There should have been singing in these movies by the characters. I am disappointed in that there isn't any.

I'm glad they didnt have every song there was in the book, but I'm glad they put one or two in there. The Pippin song was a nice touch.

I loved the Pippin and Aragorn songs. I also loved the one that Eowyn sang in the extended TTT.

Will turn towards the lighted inn,

Jonathan Rhyes-Davies (sp?) has a cool voice. He sings in Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Ark, when Indy gets on the ship, very cool.

Well, he did. I jsut watched the movie [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]


The sogs were a little obsessive in the book, IMO, but I think it would have been cool to see a few more in the movie. Singing a song appeals more to me than reading it.

John Rhys-Davies belts out a few lines from famous musicals here and there in the Indy movies, but he never really breaks out into full song.

Pippins song in ROTK is actually from the FotR book, if I recall correctly. (I could be wrong.) I to would like to have seen some more of Tolkiens lyrical verses in the movies, but it was probably best to leave most of it out, I dont think too many people in movie audiences these days could've sat through too much of it.

Actually, he only sings HMS Pinafore in the Indy movies.

And what's wrong with Tom Bombadil Bombadilio!?
