I can't get this tune out of my head now

Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins, only three feet tall. Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins, the greatest little Hobbit of them all. Simultaneously the worst and best music video I've ever seen. You may have seen it featured on a VH1 special featuring celebrity singers, or you might be familiar with one of Nimoy's albums, including Spock's World and Highly Illogical, among others. But this, this is really something else entirely. Hobbits unite! Video found on AbsoluteBob.com (which features some pretty funny soundboards as well). The video has been mirrored here.

We've done "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins".

Dammit all to hell. I guess you can put me on your list mick. I swear to God I searched MetaFilter up and down beforehand. Incidentally, the link to the video is out from the old thread.

Worth repeating. And not very many things are.

Is it just me or has there been a lot of repeats lately?

Sometimes the searches just can't find what you're looking for, even though it's there. The rule I follow if that it seems at all interesting and didn't just get published to the web, like, yesterday, it's probably here already. [Just kidding... sort of]

and if it's been posted to every other community site in existence for a few years running... it's probably been posted here too.
