The Smitharillion

One of those late night "why not?" ideas: what if one were to replace the chapter titles of The Silmarillion (interspersed with a smattering of chapter/section titles from The History of Middle-earth) with the names of songs by The Smiths? Some of them are just dumb puns or references, others I think are actually rather fitting, and a few are both. Just messing around but I wanted to have a copy saved and I figured I'd post it here on the off chance anyone else finds it amusing. Full YouTube playlist below:
