I apologize if this has been posted before, I did a quick search and found no reference to it.
Baggins.mov
Use the 2nd download link, 1st one is bad.
I understand that the use of recreational pharmaceuticals will impairs one’s judgement, but this is an example of some serious psychosis. Wish I could have seen the moment when the producer said “You nailed it Leonard, this one has hit written all over it!”
I’d like you to know that I tried to ignore this post, but just scrolling PAST IT put that frikking song in my frikking head (I half read it, realized with horror what it said and started thinking “LA LA LA LA LA!” and tried to hurry on my way–too late!) which I had so well put out of my mind and I had not thought of it since listening to Dr Demento in 7th grade and it was annoying even then, but hey, now it’s in my head. I hate you, Murcilago. If you have any sense of kindness at all you will ask to have this thread locked and vaporized.
“BIL-bo, BIL-BO Baggins. . .”
Aieeee!
This has been done here at least once before:
Spock and Bilbo. Very Disturbing.
and
Songs and the lyrics inspired by LOTR. in Cafe Society.
Aarrrghhh!! Please! No more, no more!!!
whimper
Aiee!! My eyes!! My ears!! Those ears!!
Darn you! I won’t be able to sleep now for the fear of nightmares.
Now to inflict it on the SO.
Ok, I faced my fear and watched the video. . . what the hell? How non-content related can a video be? A song about a fat little troll-man, and the video is like Our Man Flint meets the Monkees.
I must admit I kept the sound way down. . .
Its stuck in my head right now. Damn you all. The weirdest thing is that, unlike most Internet weirdness, this was apparenlty meant seriously. I still can’t figure out if those girls are wearing elf ears, Spock ears, or hobbit ears. I also can’t figure out where Leonard Nimoy’s dignity went.
And am I the only one who hears “Little hobbit that we all admire” as “Little hobbit that we all desire”?
Pervy Hobbit Fancier, LoN?
[sub]I have that Lenoard Nimoy record[/sub] :embarrassed:
Arden: No, no, no – the only reason to be embarrassed is if you bought it for “Bilbo Baggins,” or on eBay for way too much, or both. … If you did, I’m sorry.
If I may hijack… does anyone know what the horn-type instrument that has a solo in the beginning is? I’ve wondered about this since I got the mp3 of “Bilbo,” but I have a tin ear for recognizing instruments in songs, and my searching has been fruitless.
Looks like a filmed segment of Hullaballoo
Aaaaah! My eyes! God no! It’s in my head! IT WON"T STOP! AAAAAAAGH! :eek:
<runs screaming into the night>
My favorite part is during the bridge:
“Well he fought with the Goblins,
He battled the Trolls…”
The way the music builds tension behind the lyrics, bloody marvelous.
Yeah, and then they throw it all away…
[sub]That damn song’s been somewhere in my head for thirty years! THIRTY YEARS!! AArrrgghhhhhh…[/sub]
I’m pretty sure that’s a bassoon.
Here’s something frightening…a friend of mine loves that song so much that his band covered it. 
Yes, I have an emo-rock version of “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.”
How bad could it be I thought. I mean surely these people are over reacting for the sake of dramatic effect alone. Nothing could be that bad right?
Right?
Oh dear God…
I must go scrub various parts of my brain now. Thank you very much everybody. If anybody needs me, I’ll be in my trailer, silently weeping into my pillow.
And straight into the “great stuff” folder it goes. LMAO
I would swear that I recognize the tune from some other song - does anyone know of another song to use it. A children’s song perhaps?
There are no words.
I mean of course the song has words, I just have no words to describe this… whatever it is. I thought Shatner’s Lucy in the Sky was bad. I have to go lie down.
I actually jam to the mp3 regularly.
Oh dear, now I feel dirty.
Yep. That’s it.
I have now officially seen everything. :rolleyes:
Tripler
God help us, every one. . .
