HOBBIT HIPHOP. Lords of the Rhymes offers a hiphop parody of The Lord of the Rings that samples a horrid little ditty called "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins." The lifted line "Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins, he's only three feet tall" was rendered decades ago by none other than Leonard Nimoy.

I've had virtually no luck surfing the web for the notorious video that shows Nimoy performing "The Ballad..." with what looks like a bevy of pointy-eared beach bunnies, but this audio file of "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" is reminder enough that William Shatner was not the only Star Trek star to explore the outer realms of musical trekploitation.
