Gollum sings (or at least it sounds like this character) in the YouTube sensation 'Smeagol Sings Mad World' video.
Reverting back to his Hobbit name Smeagol for this special performance, YouTuber Ijameswalters gives fantasy fans an authentic song parody sure to go down in Middle-earth history. In this hilariously nerdy video, Gollum covers Tears for Fears's unforgettable, sad hit Mad World and vocally vents his everyday frustrations.
Name dropping Bilbo Baggins, counting "rockses" and his beloved "precious," Ijameswalters hits all the right geeky notes. Luckily, this isn't the only glimpse at Gollum's sensitive side, as only last month Ijameswalters dropped a laughable cover of Les Misérables' unforgettable show tune 'I Dreamed a Dream.'
