Hahaha, I enjoy Tra-la-lally more when I'm picturing them all drunk as lords. I think you're right though – there's a sort of parallel with the (less silly) description of Lothlórien as a place where time seems to stand still, and the weight of their quest becomes much lighter. I guess Rivendell is meant to be carefree in that same way – oddly removed from the world and the bookended trouble on either side of their visit (trolls and goblins, respectively).
I was much less impressed with the Hobbit as a film than the LotR films – I think it's mostly because I find the Hobbit is a nicely contained narrative, and that all the additions bogged down the script. But, then again, Richard Armitage, so....
