A while back,
azalaisdep wrote a little drabble in
tolkien_weekly; I commented with the notion that Bilbo's version of the "Tra-la-la-lally" song in TH was because he did not speak or understand any Elven languages at the time, so he simply made up words to suit what he thought he heard. (That's been my own "headcanon" for a long time!)
My comment gave her a bunny, and now she's written a lovely little ficlet about it:
Lost in Translation
It's quite fun, and very much the sort of thing I had imagined!
