#4 For the unitiated in Rugby: Generations of rugby players have bad sweats about this song since this is the Haka the battle cry of the best players in world New Zealand "All Blacks" and is usually followed by a nightmarish defeat for their opponents.

It is derived from one of the many battle cries of the Maoris (New Zealand first inhbitants)

#5 And, LOTR was filmed in New Zealand, of course. I understand that one of the DVDs has extra scenes of the actors playing the orcs doing a haka.
