Weekday Post #9: The Gift of Song

Thanks to I Hate Star Wars Club member Loralee Choate for posting a link in the comments section to a video of Leonard Nimoy singing a song about Bilbo Baggins. I’m not a big Lord of the Rings fan because they stole the special effects Oscar from Star Trek: Nemesis, but I didn’t mind it so much with Nimoy singing about it. I mean Lord of the Rings is an okay movie I guess. It’s just that some people take it WAY too seriously. Have you seen this site? It’s just a movie, people!
Other than the song’s questionable subject matter—honestly, he couldn’t sing a song about Star Trek?—I thought it was pretty good. The girls in the video had pointed ears to make them look like Lord of the Rings elves, but I thought they looked more like Hot Vulcan Space Babes. Usually, Hot Vulcan Space Babes are not inclined to dance because it isn’t logical but that song was so catchy that it defied logic. Apparently, even a Vulcan can’t resist a good beat.
The only thing that made me sad was that it was Leonard Nimoy singing instead of William Shatner. Nothing against Nimoy, he’s great and everything, but Shatner has THE VOICE. I bet he’d be an amazing singer. He’d probably write way cooler songs than plot summaries of Lord of the Rings too. I wish he’d release a CD. I know it will probably never happen, but I am his number one fan and that gives me the right to dream.
Oh well, at least no one from Star Wars ever sings. Can you imagine how hard it would suck if someone like Ewen McGregor sang a song? GACK! My ears hurt just imagining it.
