There is such a thing as trying too hard. Re-working the lyrics to the musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer to make them about The Lord of the Rings is a good example. Once More with Hobbits strains so hard to add another geeky layer to an already-geeky subject that it folds in on itself and reaches levels of cheesiness you need quantum mechanics to accomplish.
Of course I mean that in a good way. And let's just forget that time I wrote a version of Tenacious D's song Dio about Bilbo Baggins, shall we?

I would post it, but there is one line I can't quite get right. My perfectionist nature prevents me from sharing.
Ok... mostly I'm just embarassed I put time into something like that. Heh.
Nice song Pete. Maybe we should do the whole album?

(To the tune of City Hall, of course. Now that I think about it, that would be a good Denethor/Faramir duet...)
