I never know if these should go in IMHO or CS. Anyway:

From the 6/11 IMDb Daily Poll:

“A _Lord of the Rings_ musical is being planned for 2005. [Which](http://us.imdb.com/Poll/) of these (made-up) toe-tapping tunes would you like to see in the stage extravaganza?”

Somehow I got the feeling they were being silly when they came up with these song titles. Nevertheless I went with “Iirima Sina Mori/Lovely This Night (The Elvish Love Song).”

I vote for “Bombadilo” - to the tune of “The Macarena”

Oh, good lord, it gets worse! Today’s poll has songs based on existing songs. (I picked “Livin’ La Vida Legolas.”)

Okay, so yesterday’s was definitely funnier (“Smoke Over Mordor” got my vote, since it was the only one I thought was funny). Yesterday’s winner was “Uruk-Hai, Uruk-Ho,” which was cute. I liked “Frodo Mojo,” personally.

Anyway, none of the other polls they’ve done can match [this one](http://us.imdb.com/Poll/20000829_result), which just had me rolling. 🙂
