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!

Christmas in Heaven

GOOD EVENING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
IT’S TRULY A REAL HONOURABLE EXPERIENCE
TO BE HERE THIS EVENING.
A VERY WONDERFUL AND WARM AND
EMOTIONAL MOMENT FOR ALL OF US.
AND I’D LIKE TO SING A SONG
FOR ALL OF YOU.

It’s Christmas in Heaven,
All the children sing,
It’s Christmas in Heaven,
Hark hark those church bells ring.

It’s Christmas in Heaven,
The snow falls from the sky …
But it’s nice and warm and everyone
Looks smart and wears a tie.

It’s Christmas in Heaven,
There’s great films on TV …
“The Sound of Music” twice an hour
And “Jaws” I, II and III.

There’s gifts for all the family,
There’s toiletries and trains …
There’s Sony Walkman Headphone sets
And the latest video games.

It’s Christmas, it’s Christmas in Heaven,
Hip hip hip hip hip hooray,
Every single day,
Is Christmas day.

It’s Christmas, it’s Christmas in Heaven,
Hip hip hip hip hip hooray,
Every single day,
It’s Christmas day.
