* In ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', King Piccolo would speak to his minions and mind slaves in some strange tongue. Retconned in ''DBZ'', where he's explicitly an alien and it was just his native tongue.
Line 98 ⟶ 97:
* [[Death Metal]] and [[Black Metal]] vocals often sound like Orcs' Black Speech. Although most bands sing in English and other natural languages, it is usually distorted to the point of being unintelligible.
** Many viking/folk metal bands from Scandinavia use their native languages, unintelligible to most of their audience (if they build up a fanbase abroad, that is), for authenticity. An exception is Finntroll, who sing in Swedish, instead of their native Finnish.
** [[Summoning]], a ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''-themed black metal band, went one step further by ''actually writing a song in the Black Speech''. It's called ''Mirdautas Vras'' (trans. "A good day to kill") and [[Crowning Music of Awesome|it's awesome]]. Listen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUhEsuwp6g8 here].
* Parodied by Martin Pearson in his ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''-themed folk-comedy show "The Lost Spelling Errors of Bolkien", in which he sings the One Ring's inscription to the tune of "King of the Road" in a voice that borders on an Elvis impression.
** Similarly parodied in [[Eben Brooks]]' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxScTbIUvoA "Hey There Cthulhu"], where the above quote from "The Call of Cthulhu" is ''sung'' to the tune of "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White Ts.
** "Cthulhu fhtagn" has also been filked to the tune of "Hakuna Matata".
