Back in the late 70s or early 80s Rankine Bass did an animated version of Tolkiens Return of the King. Complete with snatches of song in various places (love to find it on video, but...). Turns out that when you strung the sdnippets together they worked as songs.

"Where there's a whip" is being sung by the orcs The Frodo and Sam wound up having to march with in Mordor. I can try to dig up the lyrics.

"Win the battle, lose the war" was Aragforn & company at the gates to Mordor. "Win the battle, lose the war.
Choice of evils lies before
your feet. Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

(there's probably more but I don't recall).

And the one about the "Bearer of the ring" was used in several places where Frodo was having to struggle with the Ring.

"What's Opera, Doc" is the classic Bugs Bunny cartoon that does Wagner's Ring cycle. Elmer Fudd as Seigfreid and Bugs as Brunnhilda. :-)

I've still got the tape, but don't have anything that can play it except cheap portable cassettes (and a boom box with no outputs other than speakers)
