Shouldn't that song be The Dwarf with a Name?

Shouldn't that song be The Dwarf with a Name?

Why?

"Legend of Aelenus" would be more in keeping with the parody, but I decided to simply name it after the line in the chorus. You'll notice that "The Dwarf Named Aelenus" appears four time in the lyrics, and twice more in similar forms.

Where do you get "The Dwarf with a Name?"

[Cheeetar]

I'm guessing "A Horse with No Name"

[LordBucket]

I'm guessing "A Horse with No Name"

...huh.

Play them each while reading the lyrics, and I think it's pretty obvious what the source material was. I went to a lot of effort to match both meter and rhyme scheme. AAAB isn't the easiest thing in the world to do.

Moonlight Densetsu (english)

Horse with no name

The lyrics:

Fighting Aildrek in Skara Brae,
Winning treasure every day,
Always eager to make evil pay,
She is the dwarf named Aelenus.

She will never run away from a beat-down,
She is always smashing through the town,
She's the one who evil just can't get around,
She is the dwarf who says...

I WILL PUNISH YOU!!!
EVIL DOERS!
BETTER RUN!
OR I'LL SQUASH YOU!

With holy light and wrathful vengeance,
She is the dwarf named Aelenus.

(Brief mandolin instrumental)

Fighting liches, and doing right,
Winning love through strength and might,
With the aid of Goddess Moon's light,
She is the dwarf named Aelenus,
She is the dwarf named Aelenus.
She is the dwarf...
AELENUS!

Right, I understand now.
