Hmm, this was a subject addressed in a filk I wrote a few days ago:


This Tolkien Ring

To the tune of This Diamond Ring by Gary Lewis and the Playboys

Hear the original at:

THE SCENE: Hogwarts Library. After reading LOTR, HARRY decides that 
on balance, he is much better suited to be a Rowling as opposed to a 
Tolkien protagonist

HARRY
Who'd want to star in Tolkien's Ring?
They bite it off your finger, now, and that would really sting
This Tolkien Ring has bad guys worse than Voldemort
And this Tolkien Ring lacks for broomsticks and candy stores
And though I grieve with Colin Creevey followin'
Better him than Gollum......

Tolkien wrote oodles of Ring back story 
So I would have to sing and dance this faux mythology
In Tolkien's Ring they would let Dobby bear a sword
And in Tolkien's Ring I'd go barefoot to fight Mordor
And I'd get corked with a billion orcs escapin'
Think I'll stick with Snape, man


.

In Tolkien's Ring being unseen make Nazgul pounce
And the proper names are all words that I can't pronounce
And wooden Ents I'd much resent if still, oh, 
They act like Whomping Willows

This Tolkien Ring has just one good guy magical 
And this Tolkien Ring, well the end's kinda tragical
Not JRR, it's JKR I'll count on
To keep me off Doom Mountain
