One of us is gettin’ whooshed. \*\* I think we might be getting our acronyms confusitated. While **LSD** almost certainly played a part in this film’s production, I doubt the **LDS** had anything to do with it. …or did they!? ---

\*\* P@c \*\*, ``` Kirk said LDS instead of LSD in the movie. It was to make him look confused and out-of-place. Worked well - the female lead gave him a strange look. It was an intentional error for comedy's sake. ``` ---

I’m not able to save it. ☹ The only options I can click on in the right click menu are “about QuickTime Plugin”, “PlugIn Settings”, “Connection Speed”, and “QuickTime Language”. DAMMIT. I _need_ to keep this for all eternity! ---

Isn’t there a line in _Fellowship of the Ring_ to the effect that Gandalf is “too fond of the halfings’ leaf”? I think that pretty much sums up the situation that resulted in that song being recorded by that artist. 😃 ---

Never saw the video before. > > Zev Steinhardt \*\* * * * I have QuickTime and still can’t see the darn thing. ☹ Speaking of Dr. Demento… I have a cassette tape with about 45 minutes’ worth of Trek songs and skits on it. Not the Bilbo tune, but these: “The Trouble with Klingons” by Dennis Williams a comedy routine by Jim Samuels Shatner’s “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” Jeff Nelson doing Jimmy Stewart doing Kirk “Highly Illogical” by Leonard Nimoy “Star Trip” by the Congress of Wonders “Spock Rap” by the Neuroparalyzers “Star Dreck” by Bobby Pickett and Peter Farrar “Star Trekking” by the Fur ? Furm ? or something. I _treasure_ this old tape. 🙂 ---

Oh. My. _God_. I finally downloaded the thing at home. My sister had the vinyl back in the seventies, I remember listening to it. And the Shatner, too… If we’d had _any_ idea there was a **video** of it… :eek: \ \ \ \ Still, the girls were kinda cute… \ ---

I’m entranced by the whole thing. Being the 60’s-o-phile that I am, it seems so perfect. 60’s clothes, 60’s babes (rowr), 60’s tunes, 60’s dancing, based on the Hobbit (while published in 1937, really became a 60’s phenomenon), with Leonard Nimoy (spock-hair!). The word kitsch comes to mind. Probably the same reason I like Sugar Sugar by The Archies. ---
