The possibility of Spam is quite high.

Doesn't Gollum's song (which they played at the end of Two Towers) make a lot more sense when you've seen Return of the King?

Of course. He must have felt a bitter and horrible hate against Sam; for Frodo had what he never got: the deep and unerring love of a friend. How much must he have longed to destroy this!

Yes, and Frodo had the good sense not to destroy his friend the way that Gollum had. Of course, if you take the parallel farther, it's that Sam has the strength to not destroy Frodo for the Ring the way that Smeagol killed Deagol.

I love the way you can read the lyrics as if they're addressed to Frodo, or as if they're Gollum and Smeagol going back and forth. Ambiguity is so much fun!

OH, yes... that's what I absolutely love about the song -it can be taken a couple of different ways (and either way, it's heartbreaking!). :)
