There was a story I read online about a man who was attending a Star Trek convention and gave Nimoy a copy of this song on a record and he said Nimoy looked upset saying that "I thought we burned all these!" I got a good laugh watching him sing about the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins. The people who only know Nimoy as the emotionless Mister Spock would get a big laugh watching him sing this song. Nimoy actually did a lot more then play Spock. He narrated In Search Of..., he was an accomplished photographer who wrote several volumes of poetry, he costarred on Mission Impossible for two seasons and directed several films and was also an accomplished stage actor. He was a man of many talents.
