The Project: Create a video under 1 minute long for a contest to go to New Zealand for the premiere of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. We earned a spot as one of the top 5 finalists. As the resident Hobbit expert, I wrote the lyrics, edited together the footage, and sang and acted in the video (I also made all of the baked goods). Heidi composed the music and sang and acted in the film. Another friend filmed us.
The Lyrics:
On the way to mighty Erebor,
Fill our packs with food galore!
In Rivendell, where the elf-folk dwell,
We’ll eat until our bellies swell!
A darkness rumbles to the East…
Or do our stomachs crave a feast?
When danger lurks, we must fly —
Unless it’s time for pie!
We can out-eat a dwarf or three;
Their first bite of Cram, we’re on Elevensies.
We rival Bombur’s appetite,
We’ll eat through first light!
Even on an epic quest,
There’s always time for second breakfast!
Stop at Erebor– Have some more!
March Fields Pelennor– Have some more!
Bound for Gondor– Have some more!
Must brave Mordor– Have some more!
“Wait!”
“What?!”
“We’re… OUT OF PIE!”
“Oh… Wait, what?! NOOOOOOO!”
