LOTR meets Gilbert and Sullivan

[pegkerr]

For all you Lord of the Rings fans, and especially Aragorn fans, Lois just sent me this link to I am the very model of a modern Númenorean.

Thanks, Lois!

(P.S., for those of you interested, you can also find a parody of the same song for Lois's Miles Vorkosigan books, written by elisem.)

Supposedly, "Modern Major-General" is the world's most filked song. There's one for Snape, too, somewhere. "I am the very model of a something anti-hero," or some such.

It's "I am the very model of an an anti-hero archetype", by Mariner and available from Caius Marcius' HP Filks page. I'd Google for it but DAMN CHINA HAS BLOCKED GOOGLE GRR ARGH EDSG:NGJ:KLSJKDL:NT:SRTRWTYHRGHJKSDFKLJGBDFSgtrf

*pats you reassuringly* Despite what people say, Google is not the be-all and end-all of search engines.

Hahaha! That's awesome. I'll be *so* disappointed if that's not in the LOTR musical they're working on... ;)

Peg, that was hysterically funny. Thanks so much for the link.

That is great! (Plus, I love Pirates, anyway).

That's great. It does need a bit of a Brit-pick though, what with Aragorn being the epitome of the European hero archetype; "pretty good" would be better as "rather good", "busted" -> "pitted" or "pock-marked", "jerk" -> "twit", and so on. Sorry, I sound terribly picky, don't I? :D
