The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins (Quicktime)

A music video by Leonard Nimoy. Yes, that Leonard Nimoy.

Much like Arlo Guthrie’s “Alice’s Restaurant” or Warrant’s “Cherry Pie,” “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins” recounts an epic tale of adventure. That would be the story of J. R. R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” for you non-readers in the crowd. Nimoy, however, manages to fit into two minutes and 18 seconds what took Tolkien hundreds of pages. And Tolkien didn’t even use a bassoon.

and

Yowza.

It’s one of those things that is both funny and disturbing at the same time.

Nimoy had several albums, I think Kirk did too.

Yes, they both did. They are now being used in prison to break the will of the people there.

I might have to buy this. (via SSDB)
