If you have never seen this before, you have to check it out. It's not quite as awful as fingernails on a chalkboard...

I'll have you know that that song is the reason I read The Hobbit as a kid. Of course, we had it on a record, not in that peculiarly choreographed video...

*snorgle!*

It's kind of cute for a kid's song, but yeah, the *video*?

I liked that bit about a reason never to lay off actors.

Hey, that's kinda catchy! *starts humming* ;)

[dreamflower]

Uh-oh.
Earworm.

I've seen it before, but . . .

That's the most God-awful thing I've ever seen. In my entire life.

I adored Leonard Nimoy as Spock, so to see him with the Spock haircut and acting like a goon really has traumatized me.

Why the girls? They look nothing like hobbits to me.

I don't know, but did you notice he was the *only* one in the video *not* wearing pointy ears?

I wonder how often that thing comes up to haunt him?

[lilybaggins.livejournal.com]

I guess he got tired of pointy ears... a real shame. :)

Gosh, he should wipe that off the face of the earth! I am still recovering from it.

That is scaringly catchy. Especially when you think about that horrible video

[dreamflower]

Yeah, the tune is catchy, and the song would not be so bad for, say, little kids. But the *video*--*shudders*

I liked the comment someone had put there about a reason to never lay off actors.

I knew the song... and I saw the video once a very long time ago. I hoped I would never have to see it again :p

*starts singing*

[dreamflower]

Sorry about that. *cringe*

I'd heard about this but never actually seen it before. Just a bit...bizarre! but the song is frighteningly catchy.

*worries about self*

[dreamflower]

It *is* catchy--one of those dreadful tunes bound to become an earworm.
"Bizarre"--an excellent word for it. I wonder how often poor Leonard Nimoy has to put up with having someone throw that one in his face.

Of course, I've often thought that the prime requirement for a career in show business must be a complete lack of fear of embarassment. How else could you explain those horrible Pepto-Bismol commercials. ("Grandpa, I saw you doing the diarrhea dance on TV!")
