There's so much joy in this utterly inexplicable video, but I've narrowed down my favorite aspect to one of these four things:
• Aragorn's hair
• Frodo's legs being cut off below the knees
• Sauron's amazing commitment to rocking his body
• A 98% unseeable Samwise (Or Merry? Maybe Pippen?) getting down behind Aragorn's shoulder
Infinite thanks to Tuppington for the tip.

Dude, dude, dude. If you ranked Aragorn's hair higher than Aragorn's horrible shit-eating smarm-face, you may seriously need to reconsider the way you rank the disparate elements of horrible Japanese CGI fantasy remakes of long-irrelevant music videos.
It's been a long time since I've seen so much rape face in one place. Thank you Japan, for never ever giving me a moment of respite from your insanity.
One must "Running Man" into Mordor!
(FWIW: I would have gone with "One does not simple Moonwalk into Mordor!")
I've watched this video entirely too many times. I can't bring myself to look away...

My wife likes both the Backstreet Boys and LOTR. She almost wet herself luaghing when I showed her this video.

But only one with a back-up dancer...and in that one, the dancer is Sauron.
(Or...is this the one vid to rule them all?)
Hi, you're late to the party I see.. well you have posted Miku Miku Dance (MMD) videos here before.
Anyway: most of these Lord of the Rings character models for MMD have been around since someone made a LotR version of Evolution of Dance for MMD Cup (a bi-annual competition of MMD videos tied together loosely by a handful of themes on NicoNicoDouga) four or five.In fact this version of Boromir (which I can't help but think used the Burger King as the base, and yes it's Boromir and not Aragorn) is a regular in MMD videos. He's usually paired up with Sento-san (an adult version of the city of Nara's mascot) and Big Yodel (a robotic version of the German Yodel King Franzl Lang).
For MMD Cup 7 a version of Moymoy's and Palaboy's lipdub of Everybody was submitted (【第7回MMD杯本選】エアボトリオでEVERYBODY , sm15356644) and became popular and spawned a MMD meme.Here's a video comparing the original version with the version that started the meme:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... So basically you're catching onto an about eight month old Japanese meme.You may also want to look up 【第6回MMD杯本選】霊夢とリンでボーラーレ♪【萌】
If you want to see something more geek worthy that includes these models and many more that's more recent look-up 【第8回MMD杯本選】MMDDFF【FF再現バトル】I would include the link here but once you put multiple videos links the post has to go to review and no one does review so... yeah do a search for that.
This welcome context does not in any way diminish my horror at seeing pretty much anything in this video. It might even increase it.
(But I do also appreciate the context. {g})
I'm mostly horrified that I can't get that song out of my head, hours later. Oh how I've tried.
This welcome context does not in any way diminish my unhinged joy at seeing Sauron's unexpected range of movement. Clearly his family's disapproval of his boyish dream to become the dark lord of the dance embittered him and led to the regrettable kerfuffle over world domination. Dance on, poor, misunderstood lad! Dance on!
When I look back, many years from now, I'll remember the smile on Boragorn's face and know that it was not all for naught. My life has meaning now.
Wow, simultaneously disarming and upsetting. You win, just take what you want and leave.
Are you insane, man? Look at them. The only thing they could possibly want is your immortal soul.
Just allow me to say this {ahem}:
"I'll eat a whore's heart now, now I've come to love my man""Man your brother wants the crown! {beat} Crown him if I can""Can I walk right through the fi-er, fi-er burning like the sun""'Sun and stars' has gone away {beat} Away don't get to play""THIS DEADLY GAME"
(I can't believe Rob hasn't posted the ScreenTeamShow's latest video yet. ...um, he hasn't yet, right? I searched.)
Not having read Martin's series yet (or watched the series) I made a guess. Either seemed appropriate and contextually plausible; "whore's heart" seemed funnier.
But I stand corrected. {g}
(Incidentally I still don't understand what Chris is singing at the end of that sequence and I've listened to it easily a dozen times already. I guessed "away don't get to play" but if someone knows better I promise I won't complain.)
Seeing Sauron act like a little teacup is perhaps the most mind-blowing thing I'll ever see.
Also, I believe Pippin's movements are just mirrored from Sauron's. Not that you can see him.
{squinting downthread}
Apparently, the Japanese are whose responsible this super terrific thing.
