The Aragorn Ballroom Orcestra’s Theme from The Lord of the Rings (1978)

Published February 10, 2015 Disco , Lord of the Rings, The 3 Comments

You’ve heard of space disco, but… epic fantasy disco? Compare the funky version to Leonard Rosenman’s original score below.

Note the play on words in the “artist” name: Aragorn Ballroom, as opposed to Aragon Ballroom, a famous Chicago venue; and, in lieu of `orchestra’, we have ‘orc-estra’.

“BOOGIE… BEYOND YOUR IMAGINATION.” Oh man. Makes me smile and cringe at the same time.

Wow. I have both the Bakshi and Bo Hansen albums on my iPod. I just may need to dig this one up to make a trilogy trilogy!

  Nice. You’ll have to buy the LP, I think. A shame there are only two songs!
