I have heard many times that this video existed, but every time I looked for it it was deleted.

*Speechless*

Edit: To take out a spoiler.

Who knew he was so cool?

Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :

Something about his outfit made me think he was a sea captain or something (I think it's the style of jacket). A very odd video though.

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

That was hilarious. One of the most bizarre things I've ever seen, and hilarious.

Posted by SC Carver (Member # 8173) on :

Any idea what this was for?

What's up with the girls? Are they supposed to be Hobbits or T-Rex's. I don't get the dance with their arms curled up.

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

I thought I saw something about the U.N. on one of the buttons or something...

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

Oh...MY! [Eek!]

Thanks so much for sharing. I've had some embarrassing moments in my life, but nothing tops that!

Heard that song before, even knew it was Leonard Nimoy, but I had no idea there was a music video done for the song.

I still cannot comprehend what forces combined to make that song, was it LOTR's sudden popularity in America during the late 50's and early 60's?

IIRC, he was trying to make a new career for himself, much like Shatner.

So he did this by singing about Bilbo Baggins?

Odd.

I kept re-watching the video to find out what those cards said. For sure three say:

Hobbits Unite!
What's a Hobbit?
Frodo Lives

and I think two say:

What's a Leonard Nimoy?
Admit Leonard Nimoy in the UN

That was great! [Smile]

One of the strangest things I've ever seen.

Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :

I admit it, I've heard this song.

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

Once every two years, the Internet rediscovers this video. [Smile]

I've always been a bigger fan of this.

Well I tried my best to get the best LOTR video link for you (called 'special edition'), but in vain; I think the powers that be must have threatened to sue. BTW, this is (would have been) the one with badgers, NOT the one with Jack Black.

So my other great offer is: What a toon/tune!!

It's been so long since I visited the website, I didn't know they had ringtones.

Ringtones without a subscription I'm excited.

Posted by Tstorm (Member # 1871) on :

I think my IQ dropped 10 points in the few seconds I watched of that video.

Wow.

Posted by Al (Member # 1669) on :

Ha! You just try to remember the sequence without cribb notes. Sooo many things in disguise.

Posted by Uprooted (Member # 8353) on :

Oh . . . my.

Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :

My friend's response when I showed her the Nimoy video.

Posted by udanax (Member # 10240) on :

I don't know if anybody has mentioned this but there is a spoof on the Nimoy video done by some guy called legendary frog who makes flash clips for fun. It is part of a cartoon he does called The One Ring To Rule Them All II
Watch it here, the humour is ok but if you don't like it, just skip to the part where they spoof the video.

Some of the best singing Shatner ever did.

Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :

Oh lord, what WAS that?

I'm just glad someone else went through and read the buttons, because I was just getting ready to do that. [Razz]

I did, however, really enjoy the theme-music remix in the "they're taking the hobbits to isengard" clip. Very clever.

Oh. like that one video where an undersea pipe sucks a crab violently through a quarter-inch fissure?
