Fifteen birds - the Hobbit

[szrsplaythroughs]

ive seen the cartoon version of lord of the rings and irocnically the goblins are bigger than the orcs.

[jacobhuth18]

the goblins arent singing.

[Alskaskan]

@jacobhuth18 Yes they are.

[derletztehalbling]

How do the Wolves (Wargs) from the weight of the Orcs, but the collapse would have.

[OriginalAkivara]

If this song came out today, what would it be rated? (G-PG-R and so on)

[TMPolimeno]

These orcs were going to have a barbeque until they all took an acorn to their knees.

[eddy67]

YOU GO MY LAD HUGO MY LLAD

[BardoMr]

orks orks orks orks.WAAAGH!!!!

[Gergothman]

Seven ponies in one big tree, their flanks were fanned in a fiery breeze! But, unfunny little things, they had no brains! O what shall we do with the unfunny little things? O what shall we do with the unfunny little things? Roast 'em alive, or stew them in a pot; fry them, boil them, eat them hot? Bake and toast 'em, fry and roast 'em! till manes blaze, and eyes glaze; hair smells and skins crack fat melts, and bones in cinders lie beneath the sky! So the ponies shall DIEEEEEE!

[swordnerd108]

Bake and toast 'em, fry and roast 'em, till beards blaze, and eyes glaze. Till hair smells and skins crack, fat melts, and bones black in cinders lie beneath the sky! So dwarves shall die!

GOD THIS STILL PUMPS ME UP!!

[Tivilonn]

If this isn't in Peter Jackson's adaptation, I'll lose it.

[Abelhawk]

I imagined this more as a war chant... they rock the strumming strings pretty well for orcs.

[disposedsoul]

I used to watch this movie every day as a kid! :P

This was my favorite song in the movie!

[Tareltonlives]

Well, no one said orcs were stealthy

I love these songs

[EnzoCroft]

"Fry and roast em till beards blaze and eyes glaze till hair swells and skin cracks..." You know for kids!.. lol

[TimothoNuva]

@EnzoCroft Actually, as a kid, I loved the goblins' songs and always tried to sing along with them!

[lundehund44]

wow, this is dreadful.

[armand111]

i want a warg!!! to ride

[NegaZxyz]

@armand111 you can have your warg I wnat a gandalf to be my friend!

[ewarman75]

How can you dislike this?

[thenson1Halo]

I love the goblin/orc songs. They're really well written to their purpose of intimidating or taunting.

[geweher1]

ive been listening to this for about an hour.... i should have it memorized ahahah

[geweher1]

this sounds like a military march song

[Bandersnatch41]

The part where gandalf throws a burning pinecone at the orcs remind me of when i use to throw small fire works at ants.

[messagebeliever]

they better sing this song in the new hobbit movies

[KoriKitti]

Anyone else notice that most of the main characters have really big noses? Or is it just me? xD

[051Lonewolf]

this is hilarious, and so are most of the songs in this film

[andrewniles1]

This is my SONG Ahhahahah muwaahahaah. I love it!

[ArtisticWhisper]

This scene scared me so much when I was little xD

[liffarious]

I believe "Don't judge a book by it's cover" is right here... Goblins have an amazing singing voice...

[RoninDave]

The goblins may be evil but damn they have some catchy tunes!

[lightingcobra]

A lot of the lyrics in this music are taken directly from the actual book!

[rammstienforthewin]

what the fuck, in the best way possible.

[birdierox4]

This song scared the pants off of me as a kid. Am I the only one? haha

[xiquiripat]

@birdierox4 Not as much as those damn spiders.

[ArugalSwe]

loved the hobbit but the wood elfs and orcs lookt very weird :P orces like big nasty frogs and the elfs no idea wtf they was :P and the dragon lookt a litle like a cat with wings :)))

[songdanceman2003]

best song ever! nah, but it's by far my favorite!



[palpatine84]

Im impressed that the wolfs can run so fast with those fat goblins on their backs.

[LogiBlack125]

@mdizzle999872

Maybe, because the Hobbit is a children's story

[Describingthelost]

THE EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[l33tshinobialchemist]

why is galdalf running? seriously hes like one of the most powerful beings in middle earth. he is literaly a demigod and he runs from a few orcs and wolvess?

[Popcultureguy3000]

@YTelf It's going to be in the movie, it's in the book after-all. :)

[idreamofla1day]

They had ALOT of plans for those dwarves! XD

[EmmsterHP]

I swear if they don't have this in P.J.s Hobbit in 2012, I'm going to boycott SOMETHING..

[nickscrps]

god i just love it when gandalf just comes in and owns shit!

[TheSpreadingDisease]

Favorite movie by far...have been watching it since I can remember and it never gets old.

[Battle4MiddleEarth]

The Hobbit is the best.

[They121]

NOSTALGIA FOR THE WIN

[tasteofmadness]

At first, before reading the book of course, I heard this and thought "Oh jeeeeez Rankin Bass, everything doesn't need to sing CONSTANTLY!" but then I flipped to a random page in my mom's hobbit book and saw the lyrics and facepalmed.

I felt so stupid.

[lightingcobra]

@tasteofmadness Yea I thought Rankin/Bass made up these songs too, and too be honest this song isn't have bad

[jfffjl]

OMG I was hoping this was a dimly remembered bad dream but here it is 40 years later in all its awful glory

[somekid1232]

Gandalf used acorn blast!...Goblin became confused!

[29InfantryAirsoft]

@somekid1232 warg may be paralyzed it might be unable to move XD

[JonGee420]

@somekid1232 and goblin came back with fire.

[MegaMhope]

@somekid1232 they were pine needles more likly considering they were iin a pine tree

[MithrilFist]

0:30

If he threw thunderballs in LotR, all the battles would have been won in 3 minutes.

[LordEli]

Well singing's what Orc's and Goblin's do best

[mazeut]

I always loved how they turned this part into a song.

[Renfield89]

Five people didn't get a Warg for Christmas

[mrNiceHobbit]

this is an awesome song!

[Jahmohn]

this is fucking gay hotel for dogs was WAY better

[tasteofmadness]

@Jahmohn ...

LOL HOTEL FOR DOGS?

LMAO HOTEL FOR DOGS WAS THE WORT SHIT EVER.

At least this is funny.

[TheDavid6727]

i would love to have any of the songs off this soundtrack as a ringtone. if any one can tell me how to find any of these in a ringtone let me know at davidsimsus@yahoo.com thank you

[Svensjair]

5 people were eaten by the wolves

[ev9910]

Now that's an ORCHESTRA!!!

[MichaelMorbius4ever]

I don't understand why the DVD version is missing practically all sound effects, it really irritates me :(

[BabyCharmander]

@MichaelMorbius4ever The VHS version is the same way. >_O And at some points the music overtakes the dialogue. That's why I'm glad my family taped it off of TV a looong time ago, so all the sound effects are intact and the music isn't too loud.

[JessOnTheRun]

sinister lyrics... but very cool song....

[Owtch]

Ive always loved this song

[darroth42]

i would love an mp3 of this, where could i get one?

[TemporaryButterfly]

"What shall we do with the funny little things?" erm...boil em...mash em, stick em in a stew?

[GeishaShattori]

I think the giddiness of the song make the scene MORE sadistic and brutal rather than less. It's like the usage of "Hip to be Square" as murder music in "American Psycho"... Maybe the writers for "The Hobbit" were, as some pointed out, "trying not to scare the kiddies" but the end result is pretty disturbing nonetheless!

[KidaStarvire]

Gotta say this is quite catchy :D

but to those complaining about this not being sadistic or whatever this was kind of intended more for family viewing instead of older quite mature audiences, they didnt want to terrify the kiddies. Stop complaining :)

[ijwi]

I think the animation is rather unique. This was done by the same animators that did Spirited Away, y'know.

[auroral]

Did you know what Bilbo's name almost became Bingo when Tolkien was writing his book. LOL Can you imagine what that would of been like? Look at that little hobbit and call it Bingo! LOL I wanna drop kick that stupid little thing.

[auroral]

Amazing book...HOOOORIBLE animation. :{

[TheOfficialScrowl]

This movie is amazing, considering it's VERY much like the book. Fantastic job on this movie. Love it.

[Nyarlathoteplol]

@Andrew598895 Orcs and goblins are more or less the same thing in Middle Earth, from what I can understand.

[gizlivadi8013]

So bad music employment here. Characters about to get killed and they choose this merry acappella song.

[chaosmarine821]

@gizlivadi8013

The goblins were singing this song in the book, it was to taunt the group. The goblins are sadistic and evil creatures, you know.

[gizlivadi8013]

@chaosmarine821 Didn't say anything about the song not baing in the book or something. The thing is that I, Orcs being as sadistic as they were, imagined the song being more like a pirate chant, or a war song, not an acappella chorus.

[pantherdor1159]

@gizlivadi8013 Yes but you have to think of the time it was done. It could have been much worse if the directors didn't know what they were doing. Besides would you remember it better as a chant or the chorus?

[fernmiranda]

yeah they're goblins and the song is actually called what funny little things. awesome song. :)

[Masterofspuds]

Only Gandalf is badass enough to use an exploding pinecone. XD

[aoiniina]

dramatic scene with happy song....

[78ghrile]

i never understood y the hell this movie is is a musical!!

[Skarnusur]

@78ghrile Because the books had poems and songs written by Tolkien, the Peter Jackson movies SHOULD HAVE had songs in it.

[78ghrile]

@Skarnusur peter jacksons movie has really good music. but had it been a musical it would have ruined it. i dont think he wrote a book that he was thinking of as a musical, but alot of books like this have music, such as ballads and marching rhyms, because that was realistic in the old times. however, the extent that this movie takes it is unnecessary. so i c ur point, but it still shouldnt be a musical.

[JustinJsen]

In the book the wargs came first and were killed by gandalf's fire magic and then more orcs came and alighted the trees.

[pspboy7]

The Rankin Bass movies had great music in them, I mean they were kids shows right so why not...

[mdizzle999872]

I liked The Hobbit better than the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Don't know why, maybe I'm just weird

[PadraikKasier]

@mdizzle999872; No, that makes sense. The Hobbit has better pacing and is just a good ole adventure, whereas LOTR has this huge overarching 'good vs. evil' plot.

[JaniceGhostHunter13]

@mdizzle999872 The Hobbit was way better. You ain't weird my friend!

[jasonsgroovemachine]

@mdizzle999872 Nah.

[bull068]

@mdizzle999872 Prolly cuz it was, all the way around, a better fuckin story.

[skjaldulfr]

@mdizzle999872 one word: DWARVES

[Vebinz]

@mdizzle999872

I too prefer TRhe Hobbit.

I think for me it has to do with the world of The Hobbit being a fantasy world, while with the "Rings" trilogy it becomes too detailed to be effective as fantasy, what with the origins of Gandalf and the Belrog and the like all being explained.

[silentbob8201]

@mdizzle999872 Probably has something to do with the fact it has more action going on in than the 3 Lord of the Rings Books together? Christ did Lord of the Rings get tedious did i really need to read about a Hobbit Yard Sale?

[Dawill44]

@mdizzle999872 Bilbo was a fucking pimp thats why. If Bilbo was tasked to do what Frodo was tasked to do in his prime. He wouldve strolled in Mordor and bitch slapped anyone that got in his way. But seriously the trilogy is plagued with Frodo bitching

[dchris1990]

@mdizzle999872 well...the reason you think the hobbit is better than LOTR could be because it has catchy songs ?

[armand111]

@mdizzle999872 No because the lord of the rings was tooooo much dialect and not enough adventure i feel the same way

[LordEli]

@mdizzle999872 Nothing weird about prefering a classic over remakes, and someone elses spin on the tale.

[Illyriametal]

@LordEli lord of the rings is the sequel to the hobbit made by tolkien.

[bull068]

@mdizzle999872 Or maybe it was a better fucking story.

[mdizzle999872]

@bull068 lol too true

[anitajhj]

@mdizzle999872 me too, and i thought i was the only one.

[JonGee420]

@mdizzle999872 It's because it was a good story and not long and preachy.

[darkteddybear22]

IMO this is the best song of the movie.

[Arsenal0304]

15 birds in 5 trees, their feathers were fanned, in a fiery breeze. But, funny little birds, they had no wings. Oh what shall we do, with the funny little things? Oh what shall we do, with the funny little things? Roast 'em alive, or stew 'em in a pot. Fry them, boil them, eat them hot. Bake and toast 'em fry and roast 'em till beards blaze and eyes glaze til hair swells and skins crack. Fat melts and bones black, in cinders lie beneath the sky, so the Dwarves shall die! Fifteen birds...

[zymeth0628]

there is a difference between orcs and goblins

[pwnwner]

Those weren't orcs, they were goblins! The description is wrong!

[ivkoacount]

@pwnwner but actuly whats the different between an goblin and a ork. Because in the hobbit and in lotr they are the same creatures only they where named different.

[DarkestElemental616]

@ivkoacount I think the difference is where they live. Orcs are taller and live in different terrain than goblins. Kind of like Homo sapiens versus Neathderthals... Of course, I'm no expert.

[ivkoacount]

@DarkestElemental616 no man i checked it out. orcs and goblins are the same species. TOLKIEN called them goblins in the hobbit to make it sound simpler because it was meant to be a fierytale for his kids. But when he was writing the fellowship he realised that is was getting a more sirious story that the hobbit and that goblins maybe sounds little childish so renamed them Orcs. But in matter of fact they are the same creatures.

[colakid56]

15 birds, in 5 firtrees. Their feathers were fanned, in a fiery ring. But funny little birds. they had no wings. O what shoud we do, to the silly little things? My favorite song

[happylmc]

firey breeze, not ring. Funny little things, not silly.

[Tuth9]

@SwordsmanMercenary

Don't we all?

[Outtamymind381]

They really ugly but DAMN, goblins can sing!

[Tuth9]

@Outtamymind381

lol yeah

[VforVideo]

@Outtamymind381

These Goblins have won the Misty Mountain Glee Club Championship three years in a row! I can see why!

[StrangeFilm]

@Outtamymind381 don't forget cook to :)

damn like i said in the other song tho i would go and see them

[AmericanSamurai15]

@Outtamymind381 Considering they just sit in the mountains with nothing to do, they spend most of their time singing :)

[martydrooo]

@Outtamymind381 Yes, they're quite good lyricists...

[TheDSil]

@Outtamymind381 Like Jay-Z!

[Battle4MiddleEarth]

great song and very well done.

[MewBerryIvy]

ah, i remember this....

*points* the egals! the egals are coming!

[Itsafuckingusername]

@MewBerryIvy YOU FAIL. - stamps a marker on your head that says U FALE - It's Eagle not Egal. fool

[MewBerryIvy]

...did i missspell again? (sad) DAMN COMPUTERS!! i'm sorry... i am...i'm sorry gandalf....

[jediwithsithideas]

classic! don't think you can watch these movies enough

[Ccomaffayod]

"Goblins" seems to be the word that Hobbits would generally use to describe Orcs, though Tolkien did use both words interchangeably at times. One could also perhaps say that the "lesser Orcs" (Not Uruk-Hai) who were living wild in the Misty Mountains and elsewhere were "goblins."

[LimesNorrlandicus]

As you implied goblins=orcs. There's no difference.

[Thunk00]

Even in the Lord of the Rings it's used occasionally for the less reliable, smaller wild orcs that live in the caves and mountains.

Never the larger, tougher orcs employed by Saruman and the Dark Lord or the Uruk-Hai, who you might say retained more of the elves' qualities.

[Jourell1]

Unfortunately, trying to identify anything definitive in Tolkien's works is difficult as they evolved over time.

In some versions, Orc and Goblin are used interchangeably while in others they're implied to be different creatures (or at least different subtypes). In some editions of The Hobbit, the preface states that "Goblin" is an english translation of the Hobbit word "Orc" with "Hobgoblin" used for the "larger nastier types".

Personally, I think Ccomaffayod's definition works well

[Tuth9]

@Jourell1

I believe I heard somewhere that "Goblin" and "Orc" are the same thing, but "Orc" is the bigger kind of "Goblin" but idk for sure...

[Jourell1]

I heard that as well and that is one of the possible definitions that I mentioned. But there are others

[Tuth9]

@Jourell1

I see... I think where I heard it was the book of "The Hobbit" so that's probably where you heard it too...

[lastpatriot1776]

@Tuth9 Goblins and Orcs are related, if not the same thing. Goblins divert from Orcs because they tend to live underground or in dark places, such as the Goblins in the Misty Mountains. Orcs do live in caves and mountains, though they venture outside more and walk more upright than goblins do. I think the general use of calling an Orc a Goblin and vice versa doesn't really matter, as they are essentially the same thing, with only the slight differences in behaviour.

[ivkoacount]

@lastpatriot1776

no man i checked it out. orcs and goblins are the same species. TOLKIEN called them goblins in the hobbit to make it sound simpler because it was meant to be a fierytale for his kids. But when he was writing the fellowship he realised that is was getting a more sirious story that the hobbit and that goblins maybe sounds little childish so renamed them Orcs. But in matter of fact they are the same creatures.

[balrog13571]

The Goblins may be horrifying to watch and be around, but they have remarkable singing voices. Even Simon couldn't (in fact he most certainly wouldn't for his safety) turn them down.

[Zyrog]

BIRDS SAVE THEM!

[zanitzeuken]

theyre goblins, not orcs!

[rathraven1313]

Same thing.

[WolfLord5]

True, in the book and movie, they are called goblins. However, Tolkien used the terms goblin and orc interchangeably.

[mrfivegold]

Tolkien referred the weaker older versions of the orcs that became to be known as goblins as more breeds became known. In the evolution chart to some Middle Earth Theories the orc chain of evolution may look like this Elves (in the days of Valor) --->Tortured Mutated Elves= Goblins ----> Orcs breading of Goblins with other under ground dwelling beings.

----> Urk Hai the top specimen of Orcs bred with humans, to bring back the Valor blood in their race. Some maybe bred with trolls

[KingOfDarkBunnies]

it was a pinecone and he charged it with magic to set the wargs on fire

[SS4Xanatos]

Oh. Thanks. I wasn't sure what happened.

[KingOfDarkBunnies]

no problem,have you read the book i think tha t you should make a point of reading it before the live action one comes out

[SS4Xanatos]

I tried reading the book but I kept getting to the part where they meet Elron and it just got boring. I kept giving it chance after chance and finally got to the point where Bilbo meets Gollum but after that I couldn't take it; it was too boring. I liked the movie though.

[Bbbobbbo]

it's kinda after that it gets intressting. Tho I liked that book alot. But after the gollum part it gets kinda intressting :P

[AEVautomatic]

i say we fry them in a pot.

[KingOfDarkBunnies]

i always thought it was cool how the wargs were actually really smart

[IllustriousSeven]

Great posting!

I once knew a woman who looked EXACTLY like Bilbo Baggins does in this cartoon.

Yeah, good luck getting that out of your head tonight whilst you beat-your-meat!

[bluenote71]

Dear God, man. Dear God.

[BohoRoohaha]

I love this song! Always have. Great!! Thanks for posting this!

[frodowise]

Haha, I like how the editing ended it...

"Help!"

"NO!"

[Tareltonlives]

Yes, the Hobbit book had all these songs, or similar ones.

[SushiLord89]

@Tareltonlives The hobbits had most of these songs, the movie just expanded on them.

They did a damn good job too.

[mdizzle999872]

@Tareltonlives glad to hear it

[TheMellowFilmmaker]

This looks like an AMV, but I have a feeling this is how the actual movie goes.

[NobuyukiHiyama]

It is.

[Tareltonlives]

Yep. And it's still better than the Ralph Bakshi LOTR

[bobmanny11]

unfortunatly ur right

[TwistingWays]

It is.

[NobuyukiHiyama]

I wonder what it was like rehersing this. "Ok so were going to kill them?" "Yeah. We just need to come up with a song for it." ". . ."

[murcam]

yea lol

[AMVslowking]

sooooo intense.
