I'v been reading LOTR (finally) since the past few days. Lots of people love all the songs in there. But there's one song which is probably an uncommon favourite - atleast I love it! Just copy-pasting it here...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sing hey! For the bath at close of day,
that washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is a noble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain,
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
But better than rain or rippling stream,
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat, and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if we drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high,
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet,
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Probably not a song many will state as one of their favourites from the book, but I can totally identify with the sentiments!!
[Notice the capitalization he's done everywhere, as if the hobbits really revere Hot Water!!]
