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...
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!")

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