even funnier is this review:

Side Two features one of the most amazing artifacts ever committed to vinyl: "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins". Not satisfied with his musical disembowling of the most popular sci-fi series of all time, Mr. Nimoy turned his substantial talents towards the works of an elderly British fantasy literature writer.

In the course of the 2 minutes 18 seconds of horror that follow, not only is the plot of the entire novel given away but Nimoy knowingly lets the listener in on what Bilbo is really smoking in his pipe down in that wacky hobbit-hole. There is also a bassoon solo.

It would take Jimmy Page and Robert Plant years of hard work to come up with worse Tolkien inspired drivel.

Recently unearthed is the long-hidden music video to go along with the song. I don't think Bilbo was the only one puffin' on his pipe.
