A certain website were asking Lord of the Rings related sites to exchange links. We submitted a link to this site. They put the link on their site, but they have a ten star rating system. They gave us three stars, which means "A lousy site featuring nearly nothing worthwhile." We were not going to take that lying down! We linked this song from the top of our home page, until they removed the offending link. We didn't want to unlink this song altogether, so we moved the link to a less prominent page and edited this introduction to remove the name of the site.
Edit: Members of the site can suggest sites to be linked. Since the link was removed, we have had an e-mail from the site's webmaster telling us one of their members has suggested they link our site. If you were the person who made the suggestion, thank you for putting our site forward, but we could not agree to be linked by that site again if they are going to give us an insulting rating.

Don't Diss The Grubbs!!! by Minto and Lila Grubb
First we were appalled
We were horrified
Kept thinking this was some mistake
That would be rectified
But when we saw the score we got
We said, ‘Well that’s a load of rot!
They’ve done us wrong!!
Coz we know how to write a song!!!’
And so we’re back!
We’re in their face!!
We wanna say their rating system
Is an absolute disgrace!!!
So they should change that stupid score
And if they do, that will be fine
Well, we would settle for a seven,
But we think we're worth a nine!
Go on now, GO! Improve our score!
Don’t think we’ll be appeased
If you upgrade us to a four!
Weren't you the ones who dared to rate us with a three?
Did you think we'd settle?
Did you think that we'd agree?
Don’t mess with us!
Don't diss the Grubbs!!
We’re not just second rate performers
Like you sometimes see in pubs!!!
We've got lots more yet to do
We'll do more before we’re through
Coz we’re the Grubbs!
Don't diss the Grubbs!! (hey-hey)
(Instrumental break)
(Lila sings solo)
Oh, it takes all the skill we have
Just to write a song
If you think that it’s so easy
Then you’ve got it wrong
And we see oh, so many sites
Twice as big but not as good
So we don't cry
And we can hold our heads up high
So can’t you see
That quality
Is not beyond the little website
That’s run by my man and me?!
And if you felt like dropping in
And just expect to give us three
Then you’ve severely underestimated
My Minto and me!
(Minto sings solo)
Go on now, GO! Improve our score!!
Don’t think we’ll be appeased
If you upgrade us to a four!!!
Weren't you the ones who dared to rate us with a three?
Did you think we'd settle?
Did you think that we'd agree?
Don’t mess with us!
Don't diss the Grubbs!!
We’re not just second rate performers
Like you sometimes see in pubs!!!
There’s lots more that we can do
We’ll do more before we’re through
Coz we’re the Grubbs
Don't diss the Grubbs!!
(Both Grubbs sing)
Go on now, GO! Improve our score!!
Don’t think we’ll be appeased
If you upgrade us to a four!!!
Weren't you the ones who dared to rate us with a three?
Did you think we'd settle?
Did you think that we'd agree?
Don’t mess with us!
Don't diss the Grubbs!!
We’re not just second rate performers
Like you sometimes see in pubs!!!
There’s lots more that we can do
We’ll do more before we’re through
Coz we’re the Grubbs
Don't diss the Grubbs!!
