He was truly ahead of his time misunderstood and shunned by the musical society of his time truly a tragedy.

Truly

Wait people dislike howard shore?

[@kiranturner8194]

​ I think it's a joke based in the setting of the hobbit (ie op is saying that the goblin king is misunderstood)

Catchy, isn't it? One of my own compositions.

Clap, snap, the black crack
Grip, grab, pinch, and nab
Batter and beat
Make ‘em stammer and squeak!
Pound pound, far underground
Down, down, down in Goblin-town
(Down, down, down in Goblin-town)
With a swish and smack
And a whip and a crack
Everybody talks when they’re on my rack
Pound pound, far underground
Down, down, down to Goblin-town
(Down, down, down to Goblin-town)
Hammer and tongs, get out your knockers and gongs
You won't last long on the end of my prongs
Clash, crash, crush and smish
Bang, break, shiver and shake
You can yammer and yelp
But there ain't no help
Pound pound, far underground
Down, down, down in Goblin-town

I watched the Rankin Bass version 1000 times as a kid and always just thought it was a shame there was no "Goblin Town" song in the Jackson movies. Just now finding this gem.

[@tixxoncraft]

It's in the extended version. I found it yesterday or so

[@caril.9384]

Watching this with theater kids: Oh my word, The Hobbit is a musical movie!
I joked that High School Musical was the remix and The Hobbit was the OG modern musical movie

[@MightyCaullie]

I listened to this going through Birmingham it's basically the same experience

[@EvilEye501]

Birmingham isn't that good...

[@jtl-en4yx]

That's funny, I had this same experience going through Fayetteville, North Carolina, only I didn't have the song playing!

[@spencey5606]

This was only on the extended version. Shame…. It’s great!

Why did it have to be so short/removed entirely from the theatrical version?

[@Mordor-middle_earth]

I really don’t know.

Shame it has background sounds...

This version of the Great Goblin was such an awesome supporting villain!
He was so entertaining to watch, it actually feels kind of sad that he's killed off so quickly.

Sounds like something Danny Elfman would write.

I far prefer the Maury Laws version of the Goblin-town song (from the animated Hobbit)
