15. The Greatest Adventure, The Ballad of The Hobbit
Performed by Glenn Yarbrough.

Not sure if that's the formal title, but that's the one I found.

"Awesome" is not really the word for this song. Perhaps "cute," or "charming," "magical" maybe. I'm pretty sure I was annoyed with the vocalist as a kid but it's one of those songs that has stuck with me for years, as I still watch the movie even today.

This song is the main theme for the Rankin/Bass 1977 cartoon of "The Hobbit," and will always be The Hobbit in my not-book. The lyrics are simple but effective, and the tune is pleasant.
