this is a song that mocks out bands that write songs about The Lord of the Rings. Not that there aren't many good tunes that have been written about this subject, but you know what I mean. Anyways, I was just in a weird mood that day
I'm just a dude tryin' to take it to the streets
Story behind the song
All instruments/vocals arranged/performed/recorded/engineered/produced by Wags on Logic. All the guitar sounds are me playing a roland XV88 weighted key synth. I play bass, but not guitar so I learned a totally wicked awesome approach to the keyboard. The bass is me playing a Cort (left-handed) fretless bass with FIFTEEN year-old strings. The drums were programmed by me through Logic Pro 7.
Lyrics
As we go riding through the dell in the springtime
Gay are the footfalls of the ponies trotting
Merrily and verilly in love with the sunshine
Laughing and playing in the hay
Seek for the sword that was broken in battle
In Imladris it dwells
For to vanquish all evil or see it in hell
We muster and ride
For the Mark
With the drawing of the sword
And the sounding of the horn
And the mounting of the horse
We ride forth to battle
Onward you pukes
Ride for the glory of Rohan
Skippin' through town hand in hand
Just me and my girl
Talkin' bout' the moon and the stars up above
My dreams I give to you
Ride! The savagery and butchery of war
And the scimitars of evil await!
In hope and strategery troth we our fate
We muster and ride
For the Mark. The Riddermark
The Rid....der.....DOH! (gets stabbed in battle by the enemy)
Oh yeah oh yeah oh
With the tolling of the bell
And the beating of the drum
And the bleating of the goat (bah)
We ride for tommorrow
Fight for today
Unfurl the standard
The sword once broken is reforged
With Gandalf on bass and the Theoden King on drums
Victory is ours can you see what I'm talkin' bout' bitch?
Battle and war!
battle and war!
Oh yeah oh
Yeah oh yeah
Oh yeah oh
Yeah oh yeah
Battle and war!
