Someone else pointed it to me a few years ago.

I don't think Maurice LaMarche, who was doing that character's voice in addition to his usual stint as Egon, got the pronunciation right, but it does certainly sound close enough for horseshoes.

When you do fire up that DVD, see if the flutist (what was his name?) says:

Ash nazg durba-tul-ûk,
Ash nazg gimba-tul
Ash nazg thraka-tul-ûk
Agh burz-um-ish-i krimpa-tul


because I'm really curious if my friend, a major Tolkien geek, was right or she was just hearing what she wanted to.
