Old whipper there was a really decent commander. He sees two deserters, and instead of punishing them for a crime that usually carries the death penalty, he feeds them and puts them among his own troops with barely even a harsh word.

At that point Mordor had lost Isengard as an ally and I think the witch king as well, so they kind of needed as many bodies as they could muster. Also I’m pretty sure Sauron doesn’t just kill deserters. He likely just reasserts their slavery.
This makes the Orcs seem much more like people rather than faceless enemies. In the live action movies, there was a similar moment when the Orcs were complaining to each other.
I agree! You almost feel sorry for them because they would rather be almost anywhere else at this point... In the top-down marching scenes (eg 0:27 & 1:02), there's even one Orc who's staring up at the sky and dragging his bundle behind him wearing an expression that screams 'Please end me.'
@@trinefanmel At the end of the day the Orcs are also slaves of the Dark Lord, their destinies are in the hands of Sauron, they are just the cannon fodder of his armies, which must obey or face death, and as Gandalf himself said of Sauron: "I pity even his slaves."
This is the kind of propaganda Ron DeSantis is trying to push in Florida schools, about slavery. "It was beneficial! They sang about how much they loved being enslaved!!!"
I honestly think Tolkien would have whole heartedly approved of this song. Music and poetry are sprinkled throughout The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books and it would have gone well along side "Down, Down to Goblin Town" which is a song he created and wrote into 'The Hobbit'.
Tolkien describes everything the dark faction has in language, culture and culinary as foul. This music has a self depreciating humor that's too high spirit for Mordor.

CZcams was founded in 2005 (bc of JT and Janet Jackson's superbowl performance a year before). This was published two years later. Not saying your wrong on how epic this song is, it's been in my mind since the 90s, but that's because of VHS not CZcams.
You ever heard of old slave songs? Which obviously this is very reminiscent of lyrically. Also they're saying that the whip is making them find a way to do what they need to do so I don't think whoever's cracking it has a problem.
During basic training in the late 90's we got it a LOT of trouble for using this as a marching cadence when allowed to march without immediate supervision. It was SO worth it :)
The fact that hobits can be mistaken for orcs and that this movie, while not selling it perfectly, still manages to convey it fairly well like when Samwise is stamping and singing is really interesting.
Orcs & goblins ARE the same thing. But Tolkien says orcs are closer to man than elf. And since hobbits are strongly related to humans, there is room for theories...@@Dolguldur93

@@toxicbob2000 Hey I heard MANY years ago a song by the goblins when they take Bilbo hostage, where the orcs n goblins have Russian accents and sing a weird song, I think it was a BBC production... you got any leads?
This particular song was made up for this movie, but it is based on what actually happened in the books. However, orcs do in fact sing. They do so in The Hobbit (in the book, not just the movie). "Fifteen Birds in Five Fir Trees"
dobadobadooo It would be that the tone of the song does not fit with lord of the rings let alone this scene. The song seems to be about not wanting to go to war but the orcs live for war.
I always felt the Orcs liked the spoils of war and were fine with in-fighting but didn't have a preference either way for the act of War itself. Uruks on the other hand, they existed as machines of war.
JRR Tolkien himself once said that were SOME orcs that didn't live to fight. There where a few groups here and there that engaged in art or agriculture. The orcs in this scene comprised some of of those one-off orc groups, hence, they didn't want to go to war.
Fifteen Birds from the Hobbit movie. Technically goblins, but I believe they're adjacent, at least in terms of LOTR... Something about goblins being a sub-species of orc, if I remember.
@@PWaldo-lw2ds Another fine example. Songs and speeches (at least with Eowyn) may be among the only things Rankin/Bass did better than Peter Jackson, but they're enough to recommend watching *both* versions of the Return of the King and (especially) the Hobbit!
“We don’t wanna go to work today, But the lord of the cash says NAY NAY NAY, We’re gonna work all day, all day, all day Where there’s a wage there’s a way”
@@coolkid9967 It’s a song parody man. I wrote it because jobs often make me feel like these orcs marching off to war reluctantly. We are the slaves of the dark lord’s horde, and the dark lord is daddy dollar.
The Jackson movies paid homage to it even, in the extended cut they include the part where they follow the orcs around, and just before they get caught by the marching troupe you can hear their footsteps and they mimic the sound of the drums here.
What they were doing was making a catchy song humanizing a fantasy race. But really, the people on drawing comparisons in the last hundred years are kidding themselves. This is for more relatable to feudal societies and "lords" forcing peasants into armies.
I just realised that when Frodo says “I can’t continue” and sam says “I’d rather be singing a hobbit song”, sam thinks Frodo means he can’t continue with the song 😂
"You're flat, Gorbag. You and your whole flea-bitten band are flat, and I won't have it!" "Flat? hi! hoi! Shagrat says we're flat, boys! Well I says he's been sharp the whole time!"
Rhythmic whipping is actually a strategic thing with stuff like marching and labor. Ever go on a run and start focusing on the rhythm of your breath? In a march, it keeps them in constant movement and in coordination. Its like a twisted, evil drumset.
I’d like to imagine he just had a clip on his phone of this song and played it everytime someone questioned what sound effect to use for anything in that show.

I love this. Tho you can argue if orks are really living beings (if they are corrupted, or just artificial creatures like the dwarfes were at one point), but this gives them some needed humanity. They arent evil here, they are just soldiers fighting in the army of Sauron. And like real soldiers, they have their own marchsongs. Again, I dont know if the real orks would be capable of doing something like this on their own, but these are, and they are great for it, bechause they feel like real people.
My favorite part is 2:45- Frodo says "I can't continue!" like the burden of the ring is weighing heavily on him and Sam's response is basically "Yeah, I know, this music sucks." What?
I'm impressed by the orcs sense of harmony. During the chorus, there are two distinct lines/melodies being repeated; one in a lower register and one in a higher register. The choir of Mordor really had it going on.
@@brodielarson9096 Every good fantasy world needs bands of invisible elves or fairy creatures flitting about with Casio keyboards and other instruments. How else is everyone supposed to pick up on cues for battle, or dramatic tension? Eye contact and understanding body language? Pfft!

"Most folk consider orcs to be nothing but barbaric brutes who'd kill ya soon as set eyes on ya, but I tell you, they have one of the most sophisticated musical cultures in the whole of Middle-Earth, with a penchant for intricately weaving together various parts of the vocals so that every part of the choir gets to shine!" - Some tourist's guide to Mordor or something, I dunno
Is this the cartoon's way of humanizing the Orcs since Tolkien stated that one of his regrets was that he didn't give the Orcs much sympathy and that they were treated like slaves that often didn't get a choice rather being evil.
I've always found some of the most interesting parts of the Lord of the Rings is when the orcs get to talk and share some of their thoughts, like when merry and Pippen are overhearing the three different groups of orcs bickering (Urak-hai from Isengard, Black Uruks from mordor and the smaller orcs from the Mines of Moria), when Sam overhears Gorebag and Shagrat, or in gorgoroth when Sam and frodo overhear the large soldier and the tracker.... It makes the orcs more than mindless drones and I think it would have been cool to hear a lot more of that and for them to be "humanized" a bit more... Like when Gorbag refers to frodo being left for dead as a "typical elf trick", it implies they have a morality that looks down upon leaving a wounded comrade
@@post-leftluddite You are right. I love parts where Pippen and Merry recieve some orc luqiud and this work same as lembas or elves drink and make them able to run with same speed and stamina as orcs. Also black ointment on injury and all this stuff. Also little dialog where some orc talk about desertion. This is problem with Tolkien his world is so much black and white. If you are interested in some stories where creature are in main role and are taken more seriously I recommend Goblin trilogy.
To be fair, if "where there's a whip, there's a will", and if "where there's a will, there's a way", then surely "where there's a whip, there's a way"?
Aragorn knelt down to the floor of the earth, closing his eyes in concentration as he focused on the sound, he heard the distant approaching of those funky tunes. He stood, charging off with his companions, Legolas moving further ahead, hearing the jamming orcs from miles away, "Legolas! What do your elf eyes see?" He called, the elf spoke "They're headed east, They're taking the hobbits to boogietown!"

This particular song was made up for this movie, but it is based on what actually happened in the books. However, orcs do in fact sing. They do so in The Hobbit (in the book, not just the movie). "Fifteen Birds in Five Fir Trees"
I don't get the hate this song gets, this shit is catchy as hell.
I don't think its the song itself but the fact that it is in this context.
@115786412465892241707 What context would that be? That they don't consider the movie itself to be good?
dobadobadooo It would be that the tone of the song does not fit with lord of the rings let alone this scene.
The song seems to be about not wanting to go to war but the orcs live for war.
I always felt the Orcs liked the spoils of war and were fine with in-fighting but didn't have a preference either way for the act of War itself. Uruks on the other hand, they existed as machines of war.
JRR Tolkien himself once said that were SOME orcs that didn't live to fight. There where a few groups here and there that engaged in art or agriculture. The orcs in this scene comprised some of of those one-off orc groups, hence, they didn't want to go to war.
Partial Mobilization for special military operation.
We don't wanna go to Ukraine today but Putin says NAY NAY NAY
They may be horrific corruptions of elvenkind, but between this and "Choice of Evils" *orcs can REALLY harmonize!*
Fifteen Birds from the Hobbit movie. Technically goblins, but I believe they're adjacent, at least in terms of LOTR... Something about goblins being a sub-species of orc, if I remember.
@@PWaldo-lw2ds Another fine example. Songs and speeches (at least with Eowyn) may be among the only things Rankin/Bass did better than Peter Jackson, but they're enough to recommend watching *both* versions of the Return of the King and (especially) the Hobbit!

The Jackson movies paid homage to it even, in the extended cut they include the part where they follow the orcs around, and just before they get caught by the marching troupe you can hear their footsteps and they mimic the sound of the drums here.
@@KingBobXVI Wait, what part in which movie is that specifcally?
What they were doing was making a catchy song humanizing a fantasy race. But really, the people on drawing comparisons in the last hundred years are kidding themselves. This is for more relatable to feudal societies and "lords" forcing peasants into armies.
I just realised that when Frodo says
“I can’t continue” and sam says
“I’d rather be singing a hobbit song”,
sam thinks Frodo means he can’t continue with the song 😂

And mordor is just murder misspelled.
Taking it literally, sure. I could interpret it as Sam trying to keep Frodo's spirits up with a bit of light humor.

Underrated comment
At least the boss is contributing to the beat with his whip.
Rhythmic whipping is actually a strategic thing with stuff like marching and labor. Ever go on a run and start focusing on the rhythm of your breath? In a march, it keeps them in constant movement and in coordination. Its like a twisted, evil drumset.

I love this. Tho you can argue if orks are really living beings (if they are corrupted, or just artificial creatures like the dwarfes were at one point), but this gives them some needed humanity. They arent evil here, they are just soldiers fighting in the army of Sauron. And like real soldiers, they have their own marchsongs. Again, I dont know if the real orks would be capable of doing something like this on their own, but these are, and they are great for it, bechause they feel like real people.

Is this the cartoon's way of humanizing the Orcs since Tolkien stated that one of his regrets was that he didn't give the Orcs much sympathy and that they were treated like slaves that often didn't get a choice rather being evil.
I've always found some of the most interesting parts of the Lord of the Rings is when the orcs get to talk and share some of their thoughts, like when merry and Pippen are overhearing the three different groups of orcs bickering (Urak-hai from Isengard, Black Uruks from mordor and the smaller orcs from the Mines of Moria), when Sam overhears Gorebag and Shagrat, or in gorgoroth when Sam and frodo overhear the large soldier and the tracker.... It makes the orcs more than mindless drones and I think it would have been cool to hear a lot more of that and for them to be "humanized" a bit more... Like when Gorbag refers to frodo being left for dead as a "typical elf trick", it implies they have a morality that looks down upon leaving a wounded comrade
@@post-leftluddite You are right. I love parts where Pippen and Merry recieve some orc luqiud and this work same as lembas or elves drink and make them able to run with same speed and stamina as orcs. Also black ointment on injury and all this stuff.
Also little dialog where some orc talk about desertion.
This is problem with Tolkien his world is so much black and white.
If you are interested in some stories where creature are in main role and are taken more seriously I recommend Goblin trilogy.
