I think he only gives us this one and Fifteen Birds. There's also "Where There's a Whip" (also an absolute banger), but that was not in the original text.
Fun fact: the original version of the song was performed by the legendary Thurl Ravenscroft, the original voice of "Frosted Flakes" mascot "Tony the Tiger", as well as the singer of the song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch!"
I love how there's now singable versions of pretty much every song/poem in both The Hobbit and LoTR, some very lucky kids are having awesome bedtime stories growing up these days.
Thank YOU, truly. This was one of my and my father's favorite movies. The VHS music was amazing and we were so disheartened when the DVD/BLU had distorted and lowered audio. This brings back so many loving memories.
Let's go! More Rankin-Bass sountrack! What the goblins of the Misty Mountains would sound like if some Uruks of Mordor showed up to train them in proper orc-y singing.
Beautiful! I grew up as a major Tolkien fan in the era when this and the Bakshi animated film were the only movie adaptations we had. I watched this often enough that I had all the songs memorized...
Only one remains, “You are standing in the eye of the storm! Move an inch… and you’ll be dead. You are standing underneath the Towers Of The Teeth and the eye blazes RED!”
theres another one. Fifteen birds! In five fir trees! There feathers were fanned! In a fiery breeze! But funny little birds! They had no wings! Oh what shall we do? With the funny little things? Oh what shall we do? With the funny little things? Roast them alive? Stew them in a pot, boil them, toast them, eat while hot?
I mean, Thorin was in possession of a weapon specifically named for its ability to kill goblins and famous to such an extent that the first random goblin that searches him recognized it on sight. People have been executed on the spot for WAY less by much more “civilized” monarchs. The goblin king’s reaction is rather reasonable in this regard.
The original sounded like a sudden ambush, like the goblins suddenly manifested from the darkness in a village and started spiriting people away to parts unknown. This one sounds like a full on war march, like you can hear the goblins singing this from over the horizon as they're marching to ransack a village.
This is a horizon cresting march type song. Just hearing "The black crack! The black crack!" Going from a distance to closer and closer and louder and louder is something that only would build dread.
Nice though i do wish you could also do the book version of the song Clap! Snap! the black crack! Grip, grab! Pinch, nab! And down down to Goblin-town You go, my lad! Clash, crash! Crush, smash! Hammer and tongs! Knocker and gongs! Pound, pound, far underground! Ho, ho! my lad! Swish, smack! Whip crack! Batter and beat! Yammer and bleat! Work, work! Nor dare to shirk, While Goblins quaff, and Goblins laugh, Round and round far underground Below, my lad! Plus the other song the goblins sing Fifteen birds in five fir-trees, their feathers were fanned in a fiery breeze! But, funny little birds, they had no wings! O what shall we do with the funny little things? Roast 'em alive, or stew them in a pot; fry them, boil them and eat them hot? Burn, burn tree and fern! Shrivel and scorch! A fizzling torch To light the night for our delight, Ya hey! Bake and toast 'em, fry and roast ’em till beards blaze, and eyes glaze; till hair smells and skins crack, fat melts, and bones black in cinders lie beneath the sky! So dwarves shall die, and light the night for our delight, Ya hey! Ya-harri-hey! Ya hoy!
Please please please, for the love of all that is good and green in this world, I'm begging you... Fifteen Birds in Five Fir Trees next. This is suck a banger and I know that one would be too
What wild designs these animated movies had, and what an earworm! At some point in the future, you could also try doing Towers of the Teeth or The Bearer of the Ring from Rankin-Bass' Return of the King!
The way my jaw dropped when I saw this rivals the Goblin King in the thumbnail XD Seriously though!! I'm so glad to see you guys doing more Rankin-Bass! Their version of The Hobbit was my childhood, and it makes me happy every time you do a cover from it. I love how you included even more of the lines from the book, too!
Stupendous! This song is so fantastic to sing with and really one of my favorites from the film. The only thing better would be Fifteen Birds in Five Fir Trees! The way they sing about how breaks down under literal fire, it's so mercilessly lyrical and catchy!
More of the old classics! I'd like to hear "It's so easy not to try" or "Roads go ever, ever on" (It's the same tune, but different lyrics If I remember well) from these animations as well. Great music indeed. One of my favourite channels on TH-cam.
Wonderful rendition of the goblins capturing Thorin's crew, excellent quality as always! And yet... At the risk of sounding ungrateful, I was kinda expecting Halloweens to be the time when you guys release more songs about the Worldstone Heroes. Oshrad got a solo focus, and I'd love to see additional songs for Korrivar, Branjegar, Anmaron, Rithrael and Elwyn!
what an epic songm gives me nightmare when i think about the goblintown in lord of the rings online such a terrible maze to treverse, but again very well done another great song :D keep up the fantastic work
Love how you added a second verse with some of Tolkien's lyrics! Amazing stuff! Would love to hear your renditions of some other Tolkien settings, EG some of Stephen Oliver's versions from the bbc radio play. Now we have singing goblins, I'd also love to hear the rest of the saga of Oshjrad bonebraker and the six who save worldstone keep! Though I'll always think of Clamavi De Profundis as dwarven song, you've done a great job at voicing goblins and orcs too!
Here is our version of "Down Down to Goblin Town" from "The Hobbit" cartoon movie. We hope you enjoy it:).
Like it!? I love it!
Is that a trick question 🤔
I love it My Lads Ho Ho My Lads
The Black Crack The Crack
Down Down to Goblin Town
DOWN DOWN TO GOBLIN TOWN!!
"Where there's a whip there's a way" is still a favorite of mine.
Oh I have been waiting for this!
Can we have more of these songs
Tolkien didn't give us enough goblin songs, but the ones he did were absolute bangers.
They weren't supposed to be bangers, really.
I think he only gives us this one and Fifteen Birds. There's also "Where There's a Whip" (also an absolute banger), but that was not in the original text.
Fun fact: the original version of the song was performed by the legendary Thurl Ravenscroft, the original voice of "Frosted Flakes" mascot "Tony the Tiger", as well as the singer of the song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch!"
He’s Grrrrrreat
Truly the most goblins to ever goblin.
And the original singer of 'The Headless Horseman'.
I LOVE "You're a Mean One, Mr Grinch" How The Grinch Stole Christmas holds a special place in my heart just like Lord Of The Rings
gotta say "Ravenscroft" is a great Dwarven name!
A dramatic reading of Tokien's works with music by Clamavi de Profundis would rock
True
you've been sitting on this for this halloween...
even if you have or haven't... bless you, and God's speed!
I love how there's now singable versions of pretty much every song/poem in both The Hobbit and LoTR, some very lucky kids are having awesome bedtime stories growing up these days.
It's now officially a good Halloween, we get a second LOTR cartoon song!
Gotta be at least third. We got "where there's a whip there's a way" and "The greatest adventure" already.
I call the crawl space under my mobile home "Goblin town" and often sing this a bit when i crawl under there. 😅
Thank YOU, truly. This was one of my and my father's favorite movies. The VHS music was amazing and we were so disheartened when the DVD/BLU had distorted and lowered audio. This brings back so many loving memories.
A goblin song? They do be expanding their horizons
they also did where there's a whip there's a way
@
Almost forgot
"Where There's a Whip There's a Way" deserves to be next!
Have I got news for you
We did it already. Just look on our channel!
Wonder what a Remix/Mashup of both would be like?
Let's go! More Rankin-Bass sountrack! What the goblins of the Misty Mountains would sound like if some Uruks of Mordor showed up to train them in proper orc-y singing.
YES!! ✊ I do not care how much guff this song gets… the nostalgia is far too strong!! Thank you for making this a memorable Halloween! 🎃
The chances 😂 I've been listening to the other two versions on repeat for DAYS. This is amazing!! The goblin songs deserve more love...
Beautiful! I grew up as a major Tolkien fan in the era when this and the Bakshi animated film were the only movie adaptations we had. I watched this often enough that I had all the songs memorized...
I love your cover of "Where there is a whip there is a way".
Fore this one, however, I expected something scarier than the original.
Only one remains,
“You are standing in the eye of the storm!
Move an inch… and you’ll be dead.
You are standing underneath the Towers Of The Teeth and the eye blazes RED!”
Oooooooo dew it!
theres another one.
Fifteen birds! In five fir trees!
There feathers were fanned!
In a fiery breeze!
But funny little birds!
They had no wings!
Oh what shall we do?
With the funny little things?
Oh what shall we do?
With the funny little things?
Roast them alive? Stew them in a pot, boil them, toast them, eat while hot?
I don’t care what the internet thinks I absolutely love the rankin bass cartoons. And the music in them were awesome.
When I was 6, the goblins TERRIFIED me. Something about them coming out of the dark and oh yea, the Goblin King almost BITING OFF THORIN'S HEAD!
I mean, Thorin was in possession of a weapon specifically named for its ability to kill goblins and famous to such an extent that the first random goblin that searches him recognized it on sight. People have been executed on the spot for WAY less by much more “civilized” monarchs. The goblin king’s reaction is rather reasonable in this regard.
lol, I just posted pretty much the same thing and then saw this scrolling down to read the comments. Glad to hear I wasn't the only one.
I didn’t know it was April fools day today. Fantastic song for Halloween!
The original sounded like a sudden ambush, like the goblins suddenly manifested from the darkness in a village and started spiriting people away to parts unknown. This one sounds like a full on war march, like you can hear the goblins singing this from over the horizon as they're marching to ransack a village.
"THE BLACK CRACK! THE BLACK CRACK! THE BLACK CRACK! THE BLACK CRACK!"
Maaaan! That verse is so head-bangingly satisfying!
This is a horizon cresting march type song. Just hearing "The black crack! The black crack!" Going from a distance to closer and closer and louder and louder is something that only would build dread.
Ah yes, the scene that little toddler me always jumped up and fast forwarded through….absolutely love it!
This has absolutely no business going so hard! You guys did a fabulous cover and job as always
Finally, another banger out of the Cartoons from you.
Now I would like to see how you guys tackle Fifteen Birds in Five Fir Trees!
Every time I think "man it would be cool if they did this song too" they go and do it.
Nice though i do wish you could also do the book version of the song
Clap! Snap! the black crack!
Grip, grab! Pinch, nab!
And down down to Goblin-town
You go, my lad!
Clash, crash! Crush, smash!
Hammer and tongs! Knocker and gongs!
Pound, pound, far underground!
Ho, ho! my lad!
Swish, smack! Whip crack!
Batter and beat! Yammer and bleat!
Work, work! Nor dare to shirk,
While Goblins quaff, and Goblins laugh,
Round and round far underground
Below, my lad!
Plus the other song the goblins sing
Fifteen birds in five fir-trees,
their feathers were fanned in a fiery breeze!
But, funny little birds, they had no wings!
O what shall we do with the funny little things?
Roast 'em alive, or stew them in a pot;
fry them, boil them and eat them hot?
Burn, burn tree and fern!
Shrivel and scorch! A fizzling torch
To light the night for our delight,
Ya hey!
Bake and toast 'em, fry and roast ’em
till beards blaze, and eyes glaze;
till hair smells and skins crack,
fat melts, and bones black
in cinders lie
beneath the sky!
So dwarves shall die,
and light the night for our delight,
Ya hey!
Ya-harri-hey!
Ya hoy!
yeah I love the book version
*New song drops
Me: I go my lads, ho ho my lads
I really thought the line was "you go, my lad! Bilbo, my lad!" my world has been shattered
🙌🏼👏🏼🤘🏼 I remember this song when I was a child, and never thought I'd hear it again. The LOWS are better than I remember! Good job guys!
Please please please, for the love of all that is good and green in this world, I'm begging you... Fifteen Birds in Five Fir Trees next. This is suck a banger and I know that one would be too
You’re doing the Lord’s work
Please... do "The towers of the teeth" as well.
NOW THIS TAKES ME WAYYY BACK!
Hooray! They finally made it! I love the old Hobbit movie.
So glad you stuck with the original and not the newer stuff.
BABE WAKE UP CLAMAVI JUST DROPPED DOWN DOWN TO GOBLIN TOWN
Oh My God!!! Best Halloween surprise 👻 🎃
Now we wait for 15 Birds in Five Fir Trees.
THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING!!!!! I've been BEGGING for 15 birds!!
@@coltondouglas2198 we want
@@edendemarlo
*a Warg howls*
The Wargs!?!?!?!?!?
WITH THE GOBLINS!!!!!!
You guys actually have NO IDEA how long I have waited for this absolute banger!! You have made my day
I loved this quirky movie as a kid. So happy to see that you've done your own version of it. Amazing.
Oh. My. God. I watched the animated hobbit when i was like 3 years old. This just unlocked some deep forgotten memories
Totally rocked this
When I was kid....I loved this song while also being kinda freaked out by the goblins. Particularly when the one goblin went to bite off Thorins head.
Goblin Town Brought To life again Absolutely Amazing loving the More Goblin Sounding voice
The dwarves have been _real_ quiet since this banger dropped.
What a wonderful Reformation Day present! Thank You! Now we we need "15 birds in 5 fir trees." Pretty please with sugar on top!
This is a blast from the past. I watch an old vhs copy that my dad had with him and loved it. Even then it was an “old” movie but I loved it (was 7)
What wild designs these animated movies had, and what an earworm! At some point in the future, you could also try doing Towers of the Teeth or The Bearer of the Ring from Rankin-Bass' Return of the King!
This freaking bloody rocks
Fantastic job! This cartoon was my introduction to Tolkien fandom and I still love it to this day.
Perfect Halloween song! Great work CDP!
Great to see you guys giving love to these movies every now and then! I think they did a swell job. And your covers rock it!
"I feel a song coming on."
*-* *Goblin* *King*
The way my jaw dropped when I saw this rivals the Goblin King in the thumbnail XD
Seriously though!! I'm so glad to see you guys doing more Rankin-Bass! Their version of The Hobbit was my childhood, and it makes me happy every time you do a cover from it. I love how you included even more of the lines from the book, too!

Truly, a cover that would make any goblin say,
"Bravo, my lads! Ho ho, my lads!"
YES!!!! Loving it! Now THIS is a Halloween gift! Thank you. This brought a smile to my face.
You guys NEVER disappoint!
Hot dang it's been a minute since I've seen that movie. Such a memorable soundtrack though!
More of the old classics! I'd like to hear "It's so easy not to try" or "Roads go ever, ever on" (It's the same tune, but different lyrics If I remember well) from these animations as well. Great music indeed. One of my favourite channels on TH-cam.
One of the best songs from any movie!! Fantastic job!!
oh heck yeah, my favorite song in the movie even as a child
Among many things the cartoon did better than the live action, this was at the top of the list. DOWN DOWN TO GOBLIN TOWN!
It’s gonna be Christmas in less than 2 months!! Anyone else excited for the yearly Christmas carol? ❤
My favorite part of that cartoon by far! You guys did a great job on this one!
This has completely made up for the terrible week I’ve been having. Thank you so much for delivering another banger, as always.
This is now of my all time favorite things on the internet.
I love your songs sooo much!!! Especially your Tolkien stuff!! ❤❤❤❤ Thank you for bringing us such Amazing songs to life!!!!
You have made my day! I loved The Hobbit and The Return of the King animated movies and you have given us another gem from those films!
YES! Been waiting for this song to be down! My childhood is complete! Done so well!
What perfect day to drop this. As usual, your tolkien adaptations are amazing.
this sounds like a goblin rave!! I LOVE IT!!
I will be singing this song for the next week, like i did as a kid in the early 80’s Well done, thank you for the memories
So good. Thank you for doing this one! I listen to the heavy metal versions of this on here all the time. 🤘
Nice! With this and
Nice! With this and Where there's a Whip there's a way I am absolutely content lol
RIP Thurl Ravenscroft. This tribute does him justice.
Lol. This takes me back a few decades.
There is absolutely no reason for this silly song to go this hard, and I'm 100% here for it! ^_^
Your Halloween songs are always bangers and this was no different. I *love* down down to goblin town
great as always
This is your hardest song so far, really unexpected and good
A most excellent All Hallows Eve to you all. Thank you for this fantastic offering, it's going right in my playlist.
Yessss! Been waiting for this one, love it. Y'all are awesome!
YES im so happy!
Well now we need to hear "Fifteen Birds"
Oh my god. I never expected you would do that master piece.
Now we need the live action version and a mash-up of both Hobbit movies
Absolutely incredible! An excellent choice for Halloween! Thank you for your hard work and for sharing this.
Wonderful rendition of the goblins capturing Thorin's crew, excellent quality as always!
And yet... At the risk of sounding ungrateful, I was kinda expecting Halloweens to be the time when you guys release more songs about the Worldstone Heroes. Oshrad got a solo focus, and I'd love to see additional songs for Korrivar, Branjegar, Anmaron, Rithrael and Elwyn!
I really really want to hear more about them
I never clicked so fast in my life to come to goblin town!!!!!
what an epic songm gives me nightmare when i think about the goblintown in lord of the rings online such a terrible maze to treverse, but again very well done another great song :D keep up the fantastic work
This is amazing! So well done, I was not prepared!
Perfect release date for this song. Happy Halloween 2024.
IT'S ABOUT TIME!!
You guys are the best. Thank you so much, and God bless!
Love how you added a second verse with some of Tolkien's lyrics!

Though I'll always think of Clamavi De Profundis as dwarven song, you've done a great job at voicing goblins and orcs too!
Love it! Always found it hard to put a good tune to this when I read the book
Awesome! This is one of the best songs in the 1977 animated
