Spock and Bilbo?
 

I found this while surfing other forums...

It is none other than Mr. Spock singing an ode to Bilbo Baggins. Maybe Tom Bombadil is Captain Kirk...:D

Yeah, I've heard that before. Balad of bilbo baggins. Whole CD and everything. I'm still waiting for the mix tape remix :D

The Master of 70's Cheese--Wanderlust as a Theme
 

Good old Leonard Nimoy! You should hear him sing! (On the other hand, you might not want to live with PTSD...) It is interesting that he tried so hard to sing and IMO, failed miserably, while Spock's commanding officer William "Capt. Kirk" Shatner never attempted to sing, still maintained a similar level of cheesiness, and even issued a comeback album recently (titled "Has Been," of all things!) which was actually amazingly good, although creepy in places.

I must say the "Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" was amusing and cute and very hippie-ish, but I preferred Nimoy's turn on "In Search Of" to his fluffy musical attempts. But then again, I was reared on Erich von Daniken and saw aliens in my bedroom from the age of six and was thus, a large fan of the X-Files and its almost unknown predecessor "Kolchak: the Night Stalker." But what does this have to do with Bilbo Baggins? I'll tell you--WANDERING! Bilbo wandered Middle Earth; Spock wandered the stars! UFO's wandered, real or imagined, in the consciousness of the populace, hinting that something was "out there," and that if we couldn't rush down the road to meet it, we should look for it here, sort of like Frodo talking with Elves and Dwarves around the Shire before he left it.

Why do I place all this in a thread about Spock and Bilbo? Well, they share a mandate: To Boldly Go Where No Hobbit has Gone Before, or the Galaxy goes Ever On and On...

Is it bad that I had to stop that in the middle before I gouged my own eyes out?

Actually, I'd call that a keeper.
