I agree that the Beatles would have been the best for the LOTR.

After all who can forget the great Beatles classics :

Gandalf and the dwarves
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the Shire where I was born
Lived a Hobbit who went to fight
A great big dragon, whose name was Smaug
And he went with out much might

Chorus:
We all travel with Gandalf and the dwarves
Gandalf and the dwarves
Gandalf and the dwarves
We all travel with Gandalf and the dwarves
Gandalf and the dwarves

When they'd gone a little way
they soon found that they were lost
and the dwarves were taken away
by some things that smelt like compost

Chorus.


Shirefolk
~~~~~~~~~

In the Shire there is a hobbit selling photographs
of all the Dwarves he's had the pleasure to have known
and Gandalf he comes and goes
without saying hello!

Chorus:

Shirefolk are in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue MiddleEarth skies
I sit and meanwhile back

In Mordor is a bloke who wants a certain ring
He'll do anything to get it I am told
I wonder why Frodo's so bold
And he's not very old!

Chorus.
