The Nimoy song about Bilbo Baggins is enough to drive people to throw themselves off cliffs like lemmings. It's almost unlistenable after a verse and a half. You want to kill whoever wrote it and arranged it. Unlike Shatner's stuff, Nimoy's is not bad enough or weird enough to be interesting on the basis of its very badness...it's just absolutely mediocre 100% dreck.

Nimoy, you see, could sing. Not terribly well, but he could stay on key and carry a tune. This consigns his stuff to the dreadful purgatory of songs that are seriously bad...but not BAAAAAD enough to be any good, if you know what I mean. Kind of like Danny Vinton, only not quite so professional-sounding.
