Leonard Nimoy (yes, Leonard Nimoy!) sings "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins." It's CREEPY. Watch it, and you too will be wondering "Just what were they smoking back then?"

Funny!

Check this out for more Nimoy goodness...

It's a montage of vintage Star Trek clips set to Leonard singing "Once I Smiled," immediately followed by William Shatner's infamous, passionate and dramatic take on "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."

Camelot - King Arthur
Fiddler on the Roof - Tevye
The King & I - King of Siam
My Fair Lady - Henry Higgins
I Remember Mama
Peer Gynt
Dr. Faustus
Stalag 17
A Streetcar Named Desire
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Twelfth Night
Equus
Love Letters

The song was done while he was playing Spock on Star Trek. Lord of the Rings was hugely popular in the '60s. And I believe Nimony did a few albums at the time as well. Lol, very unique song!

That was pretty cool, actually!

 

[rexcrk]

[Ilikemuppets]

Yeah, that is a really great song!
