Cold High Voice (filk)

Guess it's obvious who this is one about, right? BTW, "Magic" in the 
third stanza refers to a 1979 Richard Attenborough film starring a 
then little-known Anthony Hopkins 

Cold High Voice

To the tune of Hank Williams' Cold Cold Heart

Dedicated to Pippin 

In the rule book for superfiends, the first thing it would seem
That a bass register is best for plotting evil schemes 
Deep timbres sound so menacing, when urbanely deployed 
Then why oh why does Voldemort have such a cold high voice?

In Verdi's opera, Iago sings a deep baritone
The villainy of Darth Vadar is voiced by James E. Jones 
In Touch of Evil vileness makes Orson Welles rejoice
We can't even imagine them using a cold high voice 

In Magic, Anthony Hopkins (before that Lecter part)
Played a ventriloquist whose doll had an assassin's heart
In a rather quite a cold high voice that dummy sneered each word
Charlie McCarthy as the beast, Volde-Mortimer Snerd 

So even though his vocal chords express a shriller pipe
The Dark Lord's goal is to destroy all deep-voice stereotypes
So by the end of Book Seven, depending how it goes
Lord Voldemort could land a role with TV's Sopranos
