[Sall]

malheureusement je dois être complètement réfractaire a ce genre d'humour....

j'ai a peine réussi a lire quelques pages avant d'abandonner toute idée de continuer ce livre.

[Sacré Jérôme]

Pour donner une idée

les Hobbits s'appellent les Grossbits (en français)

Ca résume bien

[Foehn]

La parodie est plutôt un exercice d'équilibriste, de même que la traduction... donc une traduction de parodie 30 ans après.. pas facile... comme l'a déjà si bien souligné FautVoir

Ce qui souligne d'autant plus l'excellent travail du traducteur de Tery Pratchett

[Grenouillebleue]

J'ai la détestable habitude de hijacker des threads, mais pour une fois je pense être dans le sujet avec cette parodie, sur l'air de Bohemian Rhapsody, qui relate la partie I de l'adataption de LoTR sur grand écran.


Is this a drama?
Is this a fantasy?
Old British actors
And a Best Picture nominee
Three hours long
Part one of a trilogy
J.R.R. Tolkien will go down in history
(Tol-kien)
Because he wrote of Dwarves, Orcs and rings,
Middle Earth, Elves and kings
This is Frodo's story, a rip off of a song done by Queen,
--by Queen

Gandalf, I've found a ring,
Held it out into the fire,
At first I didn't see a thing
Gandalf, I was having fun,
And now you say I have to leave the Shire

Gandalf, ooo-oo
I don't wanna go,
If I don't try to take this thing to Mordor-
We will die! We will die! And it will all be my fault

Samwise, don't come with me
The One Ring calls my name
Hold it and you'll feel the same
Samwise, little buddy, What has Bilbo done?
He stole My Precious out of Gollum's cave

Samwise, ooo-oo
( listen Samwise Gamgee)
The Ringwraiths follow me,
So go back home with Peregrin Took and Merry

I'm just a tiny little Hobbit of a man
Mount Doom! Mount Doom! Travel to the Prancing Pony!
Aragorn is Strider! Ambushed by the nine dead kings!
Gandalf's missing, Gandalf's missing,
Gandalf's missing, Gandalf's missing,
Gandalf's missing, where'd he go?
Where should we go o o o?


Hide in the ruins-no one will find me,
A Ringwraith has stabbed him! It's a bad injury!
Arwen is here with her Elf sorcery!
Rivendell, Rivendell. Council has to vote.


Which one will go?-Let's all make Gimli go!
(I won't go!)
Which one will-Prince Boromir will go!
(I won't go!)
Then who will---The Elven King will go!
(I won't go!)
Legolas will go!
(I won't go!)
Aragorn will go!
(I won't goooooooooo!)
No! No! No! No! No! No! No!
Oh Frodo Baggins, Frodo Baggins! Did you just say you'd go?
Oh Saruman has a Balrog set aside for me! For me! For meeeeee!

So you think I will run when I see Sauron's eye?
Boromir battled Orcs and they left him to die!
Oh, Samwise-Won't you listen to me Samwise,
Just got to get out-Just got to take a boat out of here!

Ooooooo Oooooo, Ooooo, Ooo Yeah, Ooo Yeah
Get this ring to Mordor,
Throw it in the fire
Get this ring to Mordor
Then I'll go back home to the Shire.
