Tril-lil-lil-lolly, or bust. Give me the songs from the trees, and make them merry, and I want to see the dancing on the riverbank on Midsummer's Eve. Or I'll riot... solo if need be.
For all you Tra-la-la-lally detractors, I refer you to the Hobbitons, "The Valley". A finer improvisational-style drinking song can hardly be found. And it's no wonder, after that, why Bilbo insisted on listening to the elves. Every time I hear that one elf in the background hysterically laughing his way off of his tree-branch, I laugh too.
