1420! Songs of our times that remind you of 'The Hobbit'

I noticed a similar thread regarding LotR, and thought that I might start one about The H.

I'll start by wondering what kind of music the elves of Rivendell might be interested in, judging by what we saw of them towards both the beginning and the end of the book.

I was listening to some of the 1960s songs of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, and wondered if they might like them. Never mind that some people deride such music as 'easy listening'. Some examples include:

a. Spanish Flea:

b. Tijuana Taxi:

c. A Taste of Honey:

Would Elrond playing a trumpet be appropriate here, particularly in the last song? Would Ulmo, after listening to such songs, beg them to stop?
