What melodies can the songs be sung well to?
I listened to the audiobook read by Rob Inglis and he sang all the songs. They made melodies for all of them.
I have epubs of the whole series, there are audio attachments titled "jrr Tolkien sings <poem / song>", but sadly I've never been able to get them to play... :(
Have you tried VLC?
.....no? its an epub, its embedded in the text of the book... I have tried MPV though, and it just spits out garbage.
Open it with 7zip. Epubs are just zip files If it's embedded in the file you'll find it
Andy Serkis also narrated some audiobooks, but I have not listened to them. I hope he also sings.
Mambo No 5
The House of Bamboo.
Ok now I totally want to see a lounge / cocktail version of LOTR. Bilbo would be like an Austin Powers style 1970s spy swinger. Ya baby.
Legolas' song about Nimrodel is in the common meter, and thus can be sung to the tune of Gilligan's Island.
Edit: Or House of the Rising Sun, if you prefer.
Not knowing this always annoys me
Pachelbel?
