Spock sings!

In celebrtion of the new Star Trek feature film out now, today we'll look at one the weirdest great novelty songs, The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins. Written by Charles Randolph Grean and infamously performed by Leonard Nimoy in 1968 for his album The Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy. Today the song is a fine example of 1960's camp; along with the Adam West Batman tv series and "beach movies" like Gidget. C'mon everybody--- Do the Hobbit!
