Background notes
Archive material and source history
Erwin Beekveld is a Dutch musician who formed his band in the early 1990s. He's known for writing 'They're Taking The Hobbits To Isengard,' a song that came about after he read J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings' in 2001. The track became a staple at their shows.
Tolkien's estate initially objected to the song over copyright concerns. Beekveld changed some lyrics and got permission to quote from the books, which settled the matter. Some Tolkien fans criticized it as disrespectful, but he saw it as a tribute.
