What I remember...
Chimneys, chimney sweeps and imagining Dick Van Dyke would pop up somewhere. Multiple Mary Popinses with umbrellas and imagining Dick Van Dyke would pop up somewhere.
Sheep and maypoles, some molten iron and guys with hammers, drums, shirtless image of Bowie, black & white harlequin patterned spandex onesies, some couple and a cell phone lost and found, then they danced, and all the while some music was playing. The music involved a couple bars of a couple hundred songs, in rapid succession.

..and then, as George Takei wrote on Facebook "A ring was forged and bound the other rings above a smoke-laden waste before the Eye of Sauron rose."
