Before you go on to read the parody, "Marchwarden", I request that you read this. There's a bit of a story in just how the song came into existence. One day, I was wandering around fanfiction.net when I came across authoress minty fresh socks (User ID: 216228) and one of her parodies, "Tolkien No. 5" Well, I couldn't resist. I showed it to some friends. And here ensued a conversation after I showed it.
Slushpuppyinthehamper: Amusing. Though am v. dissapointed in you. You have left out most important character. HALDIR LIVES!!!
Hana: But I didn't write it! This other girl did! Before TTT even came out!!!!! It's just a parody, anyway... Elladin wasn't even in the movie.
Slushpuppyinthehamper: Oh ok. You're off the hook for now. *grins* But she isn't. How could she forget Haldir? That's blasphemy!
Hana: Well, you shall simply have to go to fanfiction.net, find minty fresh socks and ask her for yourself, won't you?! :P
Slushpuppyinthehamper: No. I can't even utter that name. How could she? I'm disappointed in someone I don't know.
Hana: Lol. I don't remember when she wrote it. Maybe it was before the movies and sexy Haldir showed up? I don't know why I'm defending her. But hey... maybe you should write a parody dedicated to his gorgeous face then!
Slushpuppyinthehamper: I gave up on writing. Takes to much effort that I don't have. The cons of being lazy and busy.
Hana: Yeah, I know what you mean. But still. I challenge you to write one!
Slushpuppyinthehamper: *snorts* I don't accept. A pro of being lazy! I don't accept! *chants* Boo-yah!
Hana: I'll bend your mind with a spoon! You sad pathetic creature. Alright. I'll write it. I don't know when, or to what song. But I will! Just to show you!!! So much for bending minds with spoons.
Slushpuppyinthehamper: *laughs, and turns to imaginary friend* I showed her didn't I? *nods* Yes I did.
Hana: Yes, you so completely showed me. NOT. Hey, suggestions for what song I could do? :P
Well, I kicked my arse into gear. This is what I got.

Marchwarden (To the tune of Semisonic's "Temptation")
I went to see marchwarden yesterday
In a talan in the old mallyrn tree
Cause something in my life was runaway
Or maybe to get elf love while we're still free
Marchwarden lives alone and he works all day
So I waited after dusk on his front perch
He arrived, dropped his bow and he walked my way
He smiled to see me standing at his flet
Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin
He pulled the string on the hatch and let me in
Ah... Marchwarden showed me what I shouldn't do
Ah... Marchwarden showed me what I shouldn't do
Somewhere in Middle Earth tonight
Two lovers are treating each other right
Somewhere else in the lonely Rohan
One lover waits an endless hour
Paddling home in the dark I say this time will be the last
I know what I should never do
At least I'll keep marchwarden's lorien broach
Maybe hang onto his elven cloak too
Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin
Well I don't plan to tell anyone where I've been
Ah... Marchwarden showed me what I shouldn't do
Ah... Marchwarden showed me what I shouldn't do
