The Hobbit (1977) Soundtrack (OST) - 08. Down, Down to Goblin Town 

I just saw that episode and it made me come here 😂

👍 you brilliant bastard

rankin and bass did it better though, admit it ;P

@@ffxiarcadius I'd absolutely love to see a rankin bass mini-series of the silmarilian. R&B is still by far one of the best versions of the story.

@@ffxiarcadius eeeeeh I don’t think so. I think they’re both very…very flawed adaptations. With one of them I’m a lot less willing to forgive due to the length of the book. (Seriously I will NEVER forgive how they scrapped the arkenstone when it was the big motivator for the battle of the five armies…)

@@AnInkStick All my inner critiques will de-solve on my day to journey into that far green country, and as I sail off I will have them play for me that ancient song of yore "Where There's a Whip There's a Way." And it will bring roses to my cheeks!

Dude sameeee best way to pass

Haha amazing

Your D&D group is cool!

I wanna join your group now

This is the way

yo brother pour inn the wine

Ive gone my entire life singing this in my head but not knowing the lyrics. THANK YOU!

What's the meaning of black crack? Can someone please explain ?

@@Pebphiz thanks a lot 🙏

TRUTH

Best kind of Evil.

"That Sword! *I know that sword!* It's called Glamdrig, the Foe-Hammer!" *is struck by same, and is sucked away into a spiral void of some magical sort* (sorry for the rez post)

To this day i cant forget those sword names because of how awesome the delivery in that movie were.

@@TheBoundFenrir The Goblin King played a lot of DnD

BRIGHT AS DAYLIGHT!

I will always name any weapon I own after Good ol Foe-Hammer

Saberspark good question, he should be red

8 years ago, 4 years ago, better fulfill the legacy of this comment only getting attention every 4 years! Strange though, my thoughts exactly

Same reason Bilbo has black hair, I guess.

bruh, it's saberspark

This movie was animated by the precursor to Ghibli Studios in Japan. Regardless of any differences, like the wood elves, it's perfect, weird creative animated flick. It's just godamn perfect in it's own right. Personally I like the goblins in this the most.

Who knew Tangaroa was a goblin

@@gogomonkey6341 Not quite sure what you're referring to. Care to elaborate?

I'd also like to add that Thurl Ravenscroft sang "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch" and was the voice of Tony the Tiger

thank you for sharing this!

@@gabejones8112 incredible!!

Where there is a whip there is a way for me

My Way by Frank Sinatra or being laid to rest to the Intro for the first Beastmaster film

@@mauimudpup I used to march around the living room in circles to that song when I was a 5 or 6 year old, back in 88 or 89, I loved that song the BEST out of them all - definitely the most catchy

As your casket is getting lowered into the ground! 😂

@@ffxiarcadius Trump played that when he left the Oval Office and it was amazing as the plane lifted off the tarmac. No moat yet your political affiliation or opinion on the man, you gotta admit that was a bad ass way to leave.

They added a chorus and moved a couple lines around, but it's basically the same song. All the lyrics are in the book. Still, the composer went to some trouble to make it work as a longer song, and it's very memorable.

🎵Down, down to Goblin Town. Down, down to Goblin Town.🎵

Since they make you scared of the goblins..then what about the live-action Peter Jackson orcs from the lotr films?

@spider catcher haha

spider catcher god damn that was funny. Hahaha

@Toby Johnson I'm not your lad, guy!

@Toby Johnson hahaha good one 😂😂😂

It's Thurl Ravenscoft

Chao Men No worries

+General Heavy omg that's the guy that sang you're a mean one mr grinch

also did Tony the Tiger

Also did the main voice in Grim Grinning Ghosts He had a large resume RIP

Yesssss! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

I'm ready lol

alex laxson No, its "The goblins are upon us."

You're excused. :P

alex laxson he said that afterwards when they were in the cave

***** it was really hard to hear what he was saying so it sounded like crap they got us

Jorg the Mercenary Spearman We're being robbed!

+Pera Medina Every time I came by this scene while watching the movie as a kid, I would keep rewinding to listen to the song over and over again. It was and is still my favorite song from the film.

Great childhood

Seems like you guys really knew how to enjoy the movie

HE LIES oh, Truly Tremendous One! He and his brother would hide under an afghan and shiver! AAAAAAAH! EXAGGERATORS! Liars in comments are not my FRIEND!

​@@AveryofthemainWhy would somebody bother lying about something like that?

Same here. This movie was my introduction to the Tolkien mythos, and the start of my obsession lol

This and Bakshi's Lord of The Rings

This movie was my first introduction to Tolkien! I was sick with the flu in grade school and I’m so thankful I was and that my father brought this movie home for me to watch. That week of watching this masterpiece on the couch changed my life

Same. My dad had nightmares about this scene

Especially since the DVD versions are inferior since the original film was lost in a fire.

I have a VHS version, thank God.

so do I

@Jerin Herriman, there's a guy who uploaded the whole movie to youtube but it's subtlited in spanish

Amazon has it on video. It may even be on prime.

i know you made this comment a year ago but can your dad adopt me? be sounds awesome

@@OnePieceIsReal99 unfortunately, no, he passed five years ago. 😢

@@PCCphoenix oh damn now I feel bad. I’m sorry for your loss my guy ;-;

@@OnePieceIsReal99 don't feel bad, he's in a better place. 😉

10/10

It slaps unreasonably hard to this day

it slaps harder with each new moon@@andrewcarlson4402

the entire rankin bass movie was better then the live action movie. a more faithful adaption

@@briandavion I'm upset the hobbit wasn't as faithful to the book as the Lord of the rings movies were

@@comradebusman3 yeah, I've heard some of the more radical divergances where things they where locked into before peter jackson returned to helm it (hings like the elf/dwarf romance)

@@briandavion yeah, but at least the elf/dwarf romance has that funny blooper of legolas in a party hat calling her a slut. The addition of the necromancer is apparently from one of Tolkien's other books (according to my father, so take that with a grain of salt) that they shoehorned in to pad the run time

@@comradebusman3 The Necromancer storyline was actually in the Hobbit originally, just off screen (Or off page?) and then expanded on in another book.

nope. but just think: South Park's makers probably grew up watching The Hobbit themselves and were, erm, paying tribute to it.

I wonder how many people watched south park and actually got the reference. I know I did.

I don't think I saw that episode but I probably would have gotten it, I watched this as a kid and loved it, still do and this song is so fun to listen to.

TheBiohazardKick Just look up Lemmiwinks if you are curious.

Well i didn't know what the f' South Park was when i was a kid watching this. SOOOOOOOOOOO NO.

Thanks

Ditto

Blue Nose fuck off

Thanks for that

Sverige?

Lool

Thorin at your service. We did not mean to trespass, we were merely seeking shelter from the storm.

HE IS A LAIR, Oh truly tremendous one! Ask him to explain his weapon. This sword is named Orcrist, the goblin cleaver!

RAAAAAGGGHHH! MURDERS! ELF-FRIENDS!

@@zapp4926 *liar

I know that sword! It is called Glamdring, the foehammer! Noooooooo!

Je cherchais le commentaire

Freaked me out

Just because it's different, doesn't mean it's weird. And at least I can understand what The Goblin King is saying. Other then "down down in goblin town" I can't understand a word these guys are saying.

To goblin town, I apologize.

@@cultbaby3380 I never understood anything other than that either!

right they copy the hobbit film for the dwarf song about Lonely Mountain, but let this gem slide away!? It totally could have picked up the bogged down goblin town jackson conjured up

I WAS ABT TO COMMENT THIS HAHAH

Yes, they do. They're called Peter Jackson's Hobbit films.

"films". An Unexpected Journey was good, but the other two were awful.

No, all three films are superb, even the majority of Tolkien's family thinks so. The only one that disagrees is Christopher.

Well I'm not Tolkien or his family. If they like it that's their opinion. Desolation of Smaug and Battle of the Five Armies felt awkward, cluttered, rushed, and (to me) did not carry the same amazing spirit of adventure I felt with the book version of The Hobbit. Tamriel, the Mayor and his aide's inclusion in the movies cut the pacing and dragged the story on, and without them the movies would have run the same exact way. Tamriel was in there to have a strong female lead and nothing else, The Mayor and his aide were "comic relief" and the aide repeatedly reminded us that he was useless and annoying. He didn't even change his ways, or something generic like that, and he just dissapears from the story afterwards. Smaug's attitude was completely different, which to me is the crux of "The Hobbit", to keep Smaug as he was; a strong, potent monster who was as wise as he was smug, not pissed and grouchy. I didn't like his voice either, it wasn't booming, ancient or commanding, just British. And voice deepened. The thing is that there was some real rubbish that felt so out of place and thought that you should just deal with it, like the barrel chase, Dwarves v Smaug "fight" with so much build up to a confusing and embarassing finale, and the Battle of the 5 armies (parts with Thorin and the Pale Orc and his lackey vs. Tamriel, mostly). I just feel that the adaption wasn't as good as it could be, and that many mistakes were made. My dad felt the same way, and he's read everything, including the Silmarillion.

I've read it all as well, The Hobbit is a children's book, Jackson had to target it to all age groups.

LOL

I'd take the Goblins over most residents of Detroit any day!

do you even know anyone from Detroit ?

Best comment

wuts up in detroid? cant be more shitty as europes islamic fellas.

MrRebelliousNerd I wonder if any of them actually have goblin as a preferred pronoun

As someone who has been on tumblr since 2013, I can only say... you're right and you should say it.

That is offensive towards all Goblins.

I sexually identify as a goblin and that [TRIGGERS] me! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

At least Goblins are fun

Pretty With the Lights Out does a pretty hard version of this.

thanks

David Estes no problem, i didnt write it myself. got it somewhere off the net.

I have a feeling if I ever have kids and make em watch this version (which I will) I have a feeling I'll have to explain to them that if they go to the bathroom at night they won't have to worry about goblins jumping out at them lol

bruce wayne I will play and recite this every morning before starting my day.

Thank you.

Peter Jackson's version kills Peter Jackson's version.

the art alone kills his version HOWEVER compared to some other versions and considering he was smart enough to seperate it into 3 parts AND included all the chapters an went indepth with the necromancer (when I read the book I thought it was just a random enemy and not sauron) it did a pretty dam good job....not as great as this but better than most

Nick Lancial I'm pretty sure the necromancer wasn't brought up in the book. Really Peter Jackson added a lot of things that weren't in the book, like a love interest for one of the dwarves, or Radagast the Brown who was mentioned but not shown, or Alfrid. They also turned multiple scenes that weren't fight scenes into fight scenes for the sake of having lots of action like the barrel ride or the confrontation with Smaug. Honestly, I think the Hobbit could have worked fine as 2 movies and been far more true to the book. As the film trilogy is, it's kinda overdone in my opinion.

he was brought up twice once when they were on the outskirts of Mirkwood and asked if there was an alternate way through Gandalf said North would take them to the White mountains where hobgoblins and other terrible things lived and if they had went south it would take them too close to the lair of the necromancer and gandalf knew if they went there they'd never escape.....he was mentioned one more time in the aftermath of the battle of 5 armies when gandalf said that part of his business south involved the council successfully driving the necromancer away

Well, while they're interpretations of the same song, it's comparing Apples and Oranges. The difference between this and Peter Jackson's is that this is supposed to sound good.
