Recorded prematurely after Bilbo's disappearance from the the Shire on the day of his eleventy-first birthday, it now seems safe to assume that the song is, indeed, accurate. It's by Blues performer Andrew Tibbs. The Hobbit and the The Lord of the Rings (all Tolkien, really) was an obsession amongst early Bluesmen with copies changing hands frequently. In fact, it was quite common for some of the early Bluesmen to translate their songs into Elvish and precede their musical performances with the The Hobbit's festive poem, Chip the glasses and crack the plates!

Given that I am a "die-hard' sci-fi person, I have seen the entire Star Trek series (all of them!!) and the movies at least 4-6 times --each. There are some episodes that I can tell you the entire episode theme within 30 seconds of the opening. (beat that!)
