Frodo Baggins of the Shire
By: Angua 27
Yes, I have been studying my Spanish for far too long. As a matter of fact I'm supposed to be writing a two page essay "Don Quijote de la Mancha: sátira, parodía, y crítica social" right now, but obviously I'm sidetracked by listening to the soundtrack of Man of la Mancha so, being me, I decided to write Frodo Baggins of the Shire. I'm trying to keep as closely as possible to both stories with a lot of OOC thrown in, but I just hope you like it. Here's the cast so far.
Elijah Wood: Miguel de Cervantes
Frodo Baggins: Don Quijote
Samwise Gamgee: Sancho Panza
I know there's more, but that's all I have thought up for now.
Song one: Hobbit of the Shire (Man of la Mancha)
(Spoken by Elijah Wood)
I shall impersonate... a hobbit. Come, enter into my imagination and see him. Short, hairy-footed, eyes that are wide with the... er... bigness of too much pipeweed. He concedes the strangest project ever imaginable (besides becoming a knight errant, that is) to destroy the ring of power and sally forth into Middle Earth saving all free peoples. His name: Frodo Baggins of the Shire!
(Sung by Frodo who looks suspiciously like Elijah Wood)
Here me now, oh big and unbearable world
Thou will be conquered by the Dark Lord, Sauron
And a hobbit with his ring so golden and shiny
Now holds up his dagger to he!
I am I, Frodo Baggins
A hobbit of the Shire
Gandalf told me I must go
And the elves in Rivendell
Say you must go onward
To Mount Doom to kill the foe
To Mount Doom to kill the foe
Onward to Mordor I go!
(Sung by Samwise)
I Samwise, yes, I Samwise
I follow Mister Frodo to the end
I tell all the world proudly
I'm his gardener; I'm his friend.
(Frodo again!)
Hear me orcs, goblins, and ringwraiths of him
For your dastardly doings are past
For I'm going to destroy Sauron's whims
And Aragorn will be king at last
(Frodo and Sam together. Sam is in parenthesis)
I am I, Frodo Baggins (I, Samwise...)
A Hobbit of the Shire (yes, I Samwise)
Gandalf told me I must go (I follow Mister Frodo to the end)
And the elves in Rivendell (I tell all..)
Say you must go onward (the world proudly)
To Mount Doom to kill the foe (I'm his gardener; I'm his friend)
(Samwise and Frodo together)
To Mount Doom to kill the foe
Onward to Mordor I go!

Wow! I actually had a lot of fun writing that. I hope someone knows enough about Don Quijote to review!
