June 27, 2009

For anyone who thought that Peter Jackson ruined Middle Earth, I present you with Leonard Nimoy's Ballad of Bilbo Baggins:

Jesus fuck...

Random happy young people singing and dancing about Bilbo AND Nimoy singing and frolicking with them?

Why? No, really, why?!; June 27, 2009 at 10:01 AM
Call Me Cate said...: Sad to say I've seen this video before. And spent the entire day with the song stuck in my head. I will NOT click it this time. I refuse!; June 27, 2009 at 10:12 AM
Some Guy said...: Wow. I hope he watches that everyday to keep himself from getting too big a head.; June 27, 2009 at 10:14 AM
corticoWhat said...: And Gandalf said, "SHOOT ME NOW!"; June 27, 2009 at 10:17 AM
Soda and Candy said...: What the fuck?

I can't even process that. Was he on acid or something? I mean... what the fuck?!; June 27, 2009 at 10:19 AM
Eric said...: Mjenks, you unbelievable bastard.

Why, oh why would you post such a thing where sane people might see it? It's a bell that cannot be unrung...; June 27, 2009 at 1:26 PM
Fancy Schmancy said...: I love you and your blog, but you could not make me watch that for all the tea in wherever Spock comes from.; June 27, 2009 at 4:41 PM
Cooper Green said...: When those little guys fight, there is plenty of laundry. Don't mess with Bilbo unless you've got a change of clothes.; June 28, 2009 at 3:04 AM
Scope said...: That's "special". I'd heard the song, of course, but never had I seen the "choreography" before.

Wow.; June 28, 2009 at 9:23 AM
The Peach Tart said...: I'm speechless; June 28, 2009 at 12:46 PM
Happy Hour...Somewhere said...: I miss Dr. Demento.; June 28, 2009 at 3:02 PM
Chemgeek said...: Those dancers apparently were all afflicted with a combination of Tourettes and Parkinson's.

Regardless, that was a wonderful ode to a wonderful hobbit by a wonderful vulcan. Well done, Leonard.; June 28, 2009 at 9:55 PM
Alaina said...: I could have happily and contentedly gone through life without experiencing that. So thank you very little indeed.; June 28, 2009 at 11:52 PM
Girl Interrupted said...: Well, you know, there really were an awful lot of drugs going around in the 60's; June 29, 2009 at 6:07 AM
Nej said...: What the fuck was that?

Watching it and listening to it was bad enough....but now it's stuck in my head.

I'm giving you the evil eye...can you feel it???? :-); June 29, 2009 at 10:13 AM
the iNDefatigable mjenks said...: @ Erin: Apparently, that's just something ol' Len decided to do. Apparently, he's a fan of the The Lord of the Rings. Why that justifies a ballad about Bilbo, I'll never know.

@ Cate: Yeah, it's catchy. I was going to tie "Leonard Nimoy's Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" into Six Word Saturday, but since I left the house at 7:30 and didn't return until almost 9:00 that night, I didn't get to. Oh well. Your readership is probably thankful.

@ Some Guy: The way Shatner watches his version of Rocket Man?

@ corticoWhat: And the King of the Forest Elves was like "Leave! Take the Dwarves! Just stop singing that infernal song!"

@ Soda & Candy: Exactly my thoughts. The 70s were a special time. Or 60s. Or whenever they invented color.

@ Eric: It was so special, I needed to share it with everyone. I'm a giver like that.

@ Fancy: You might need something a bit stiffer than tea in order to make this video make sense.

@ Cooper Green: Hairy Feet: A Hobbit's secret weapon.

@ Scope: That's what I liked the most, too. The "choreography" was spot on great, wasn't it?

@ Peach Tart: Kinda sucks the words right out of you. And a little piece of your soul, too.

@ Happy Hour: Dr. Dimento is curled up in the closet, rocking back and forth, humming the strains to Bilbo's ballad. It's best not to disturb him.

@ Chemgeek: The pointy ears were just...I dunno. Mix in Spock and the prosthetics and...you've got yourself some kind of ear fetish thing going on.

@ Alaina: But now your life is enriched by the greatness of that video clip.

@ Nej: I can feel it. And it makes me giggle.; June 29, 2009 at 10:48 AM
Nej said...: Giggling, eh? You are truly evil. I love it!; June 29, 2009 at 10:54 AM
