This is a truly extraordinary piece of video from that rock ‘n’ roll legend, Leonard Nimoy. Just in time for the big Lord of the Rings finale. It’s hard for me to believe that this actually exists, and isn’t some clever CG rendering. I’m especially digging the sweatshirt-clad, hobbit-ear-wearing (elf? dwarf? Who can tell) go-go girls. You can almost see Nimoy trying to decide which one he’ll hit on after the shoot.
Hobbits are peace-loving folks you know
They’re never in a hurry and they take things slow
They don’t like to travel away from home
They just like to eat and be left alone
This kicks Shatner’s Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’s ass. I’m not sure if I’m way ahead of this meme or way behind it, so apologies if you’ve received this in your email inbox, like, five times this week.
On the same site, Dancing Ross is a pretty funny clip too.
i loved the dancin ross!
Almost a year since I blogged it last December 2002, so more “way behind” than way ahead.
I got them to play it on As It Happens in August 2003.

Yeah, but does it top Shatner’s “I’m too sexy” ?
