It’s as cringey now as it was when I first saw it in the mid-1980s.
Highly illogical.
Didn’t he and Shatner make an album.
Oh my, that was weird.
Imagine having to film that, to act in it.
I’m into it
This pops up on my Spotify once in a while. The algo jumped past my musical taste and right into my personality.
That celebration banner looks very similar to the one they used in the movie.
Better than Shatners “music”. https://youtu.be/lul-Y8vSr0I?t=65
This song has always fascinated me. Its so cringe yet so catchy that it lingers in my head for days every time I hear it.
This sounds like something They Might Be Giants might sing.
Those hobbit chicks are hot as fuck
“Q! What have you done to Mr. Spock!?”
“Oh calm down Kirk. I’m just giving him a little personality. A vast improvement really. Would you like to join in? You’d make an excellent Hobbit background singer.”
I just saw Fellowship at Alamo Drafthouse and they played this before the film
I frequently sing this to my cat Wilbur, who I have nicknamed Wilbo Baggins. He’s the bravest little kitty of them all.
Edit: Here’s the little [Hobbit](https://ibb.co/1f44tmS) himself, my Wilbo Baggins.
Dude that was wild. What’s weird is I kind of want to listen to it again.
Yo spoilers
wtf were people smokin back then?
How the fuck does this even exist?
I’d heard the song before, but I had no idea there was a video for this.
I have a fondness for the corniness of Leonard Nimoy tracks. Here’s another I unironically like (admittedly, it’s much less corny) [If I Had a Hammer](https://youtu.be/dOLsAARUrfk)
If you watch old footage of Ronald Reagan taking the oath of office you can just catch a trace of his lips mouthing the lyrics to this song.
Ironic that everyone in there has pointy ears except for Nimoy.
The 60s were a weird time.
I recorded our band a couple years ago. While I was mixing and rendering a copy for them to listen to for feedback, I snuck this whole song into a track (like a 30 second gap and then Bilbo Baggins). I got a lot of “what in the fuck, man?” Texts that day.
So he was just constantly sporting the Spock cut during that time?
When I taught spin classes, I would often do themes and trivia and give away prizes at the end. The theme of one class was “Singers Who Act & Actors Who Sing.” This was the only song that stumped the entire class. Everyone thought it was Johnny Cash.
Is it any wonder that Tolkien’s estate was pretty leery of any new Hollywood adaptations of the material? After this stuff and Ralph Bakshi’s very odd version, it’s astounding that Jackson’s LotR got made.
I haven’t seen a version that includes scenes from the LOTR movies mixed in, somehow makes this feel even stranger.
what was wrong with everyone?
Pure gold. Thank you for that!
There’s a poster in a hallway at work that prominently features the word “Bilboa” and I can’t help singing “Bilbo! Bilbo!” every time I walk by it. It’s a pretty quiet hallway so I haven’t been caught doing it yet, but I’m sure it is just a matter of time.
Didn’t know I needed this in my life. But I’m glad I have it now. Tha KS for the share.
Drugs are a helluva drug.
Even with regular ears he looks like Spock
They really broke the bank on that production budget, didn’t they? 🙄
You know, Bilbo was a greedy little fuck and nobody really talks about that. The ring didn’t drive him to lust for power in a typical way but isolated him with his greed and comforts like a drug addict away from his family, neighbors and friends.
He still sings better than Yoko Ono.
