The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins! (link to VIDEO- compellingly awful!)
Edited on Wed Jan-07-04 02:37 PM by ZombyWoof
Leonard Nimoy, ladies and gentlemen,
From the album "The Lord of The Rings":

In the middle of the earth in the land of the Shire
lives a brave little hobbit whom we all admire.
With his long wooden pipe,
fuzzy, woolly toes,
he lives in a hobbit-hole and everybody knows him

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Now hobbits are a peace-lovin' folks you know
They don't like to hurry and they take things slow
They don't like to travel away from home
They just want to eat and be left alone
But one day Bilbo was asked to go
on a big adventure to the caves below,
to help some dwarves get back their gold
that was stolen by a dragon in the days of old.

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Well he fought with the goblins!
He battled a troll!!
He riddled with Gollum!!!
A magic ring he stole!!!!
He was chased by wolves!!!!!
Lost in the forest!!!!!!
Escaped in a barrel from the elf-king's halls!!!!!!!

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Now he's back in his hole in the land of the Shire,
that brave little hobbit whom we all admire,
just a-sittin' on a treasure of silver and gold
a-puffin' on his pipe in his hobbit-hole.

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

2. And I thought only the legendary SHATNER could be so compelling!
"Mr. Tambourine Man? Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man?

MR. TAMBOURINE MAN!!!!"

14. ROFL
The other night, Futurama aired a show guest starring most of the crew from Star Trek.

I laughed for HOURS :D

13. The Spock haircut and the sweatshirted go-go dancers...
make this clip as dada-istic as anything Man Ray could have produced in his heyday. This video is truly a weird classic. It should not, however, be viewed under the influence of any mind-altering substances.

17. I think it might have triggered an acid-flashback
Or is this a seizure?

18. That is the strangest thing I've ever seen
And I made the mistake of showing it to other family members. Now my husband is singing it. Oh God, please help me! :

Can someone shoot him and get this song out of my head! :scared:

20. Having seen the video, I can honestly say
It's not half so wretched as Shatner's spoken-word rendition of "Rocket Man."

But it's still pretty bad.

23. Oh, wow.....
When else but the 60's could you get away with something like that?

And all those go-go girls are what, in their 50's and 60's by now?
(my GF looked like that when she was in College. I've BEGGED her to let her hair grow and wear hip-huggers and peasant blouses for me. she won't. she COULD)

24. Greatest. Video. Ever.
Wow. I mean, really, wow.

If you haven't checked it out, you are NOT ready for the soul-shattering experience that awaits you at this link.

There is no Spock but Spock, and Nimoy is his prophet.

27. Would you people PLEASE stop putting this on the front page?
Every time i see it, I have to click on it. It's like some kind of horrible compulsion, like a serial-killer must feel, or one of those kids who has to where a helemt because he enjoys smashing his head into the wall.

If I climb to the top of a bell tower and open fire, I insist that my next of kin sue Leonard Nimoy, as he will be PERSOANLLY responsible for my quickly growing madness.

"Bilbo -- BILBO -- Bilbo Baggins, the greatest little hobbit of them all..."
