Over at theFW.com I wrote about some of my favorite examples of Hobbits in popular culture, including the unproduced Beatles movie, a disappointing theme-restaurant and, of course, my favorite Leonard Nimoy novelty song.
You can read the full article here.
The Ward recording has a bit of a cult following, partly because the record was arranged by Frank Zappa. “Orange Colored Sky” was the b-side to the novelty tune “Boy Wonder I Love You” (and you can hear young Frank as one of the screaming teenage girls.)
Given that Burt Ward had recorded it first, I really wonder what was going on with the Adam West cover. Was it a coincidence, an inside joke, a rip-off or a put-down?
What do YOU think, dear reader?

I wrote an article about lost movies that were made but never released. The list includes a Bill Murray musical comedy, a Texas Chainsaw sequel, an early Louis C.K. feature and the Ed Wood screenplay that was produced 20 years after his death.
Read it here.
I wrote this article about lesser-know sequels and direct-to-video follow-up films.
I insisted they title it “12 Sequels You PROBABLY Didn’t Know About” because I have a lot of respect for the mouth-breathers who read pop-culture blogs.
Also, I dropped the ball by failing to include AMERICAN PSYCHO 2 on the list. I’ve actually seen that one, but it’s pretty forgettable.
Anyway, read it here.
