As a diehard Lord of the Rings fan since around age 13, I have only one thing to say about this:
They're taking the hobbits to Isengard!
I bet you can't get this out of your head now, can you?

Since I need more fruit in my diet, I'll be cleaning this out of my head with Mango! Mango! Mango, mango, mango! Mangooooo!

You have it all wrong. Shows how if you keep repeating a lie often enough...
