The title comes from a dance mentioned in The Lord of the Rings and the dance notes report a conversation (not in the original book!) the deviser imagines he may have overheard:

>  I became aware of a difference of opinion as to how this should be executed at Frodo’s birthday party on 22nd September 1401 (SR), when I overheard a rather heated discussion going on between Bilbo and Master Everard Took & Miss Meliot Brandybuck after their performance of the dance at Bilbo’s 111th birthday party.
> Bilbo was saying that it was his birthday party and that he should have been consulted when Master Everard and Miss Meliot wanted to perform a variation of a traditional Hobbit dance at his party i.e. their circle went all the way round to the left for eight bars and became rather riotous, instead of the more traditional sedate round and back.
> Master Everard and Miss Meliot said that it was more “fun” the way they did it. “Fun!’ snorted Bilbo. “Round and back is traditional!”
>
> That is why the version above is a compromise between Bilbo’s sedate traditional version, and Master Everard and Miss Meliot’s more riotous “Fun” version.
>
> You have the choice of doing:
>
>    The “Fun” version of Master Everard and Miss Meliot  
>    The traditional version that Bilbo preferred  
>    The compromise above
