Spock: Psychedelic 60's Chick Magnet
Let us all hold hands and dance in celebration of the fine, lengthy recording career of a nice Jewish Boy named Leonard Nimoy. We've probably all heard his cover of "Proud Mary," but nothing beats the highly condensed epic tale, "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins." In 2:18, Nimoy reduces The Hobbit to a poppy lil' tune with a bassoon solo (!). But -- even better -- there's a VIDEO! The best part of the video, besides Nimoy's shiny black hair and mod outfit, are the hot 60's chicks wearing fake Spock ears whilst they prance and shimmy about. I have to say, this kicks ass over Led Zeppelin's interpretation of Tolkien.
