Tiny Tim in "Ironside" Pilot

[AvalancheRomance]

ah he is just so cute

[HalestormMarz97]

LEFT hand people rock ... I'm one!

[ocleirigh86]

The editing is making me feel a tad seasick - good song, but.

[Griwhoolda]

Hey - he's playing right handed!

[1963TNT]

The cymbal concerto proves that Lsd25 was the in-drug.

[rinygrin]

I have no idea what the hell is going on in this pilot but I love it.

[HellboundAlleee]

Not hippies. Maybe more like Merry Pranksters, or absurdists.

And the real Raymond Burr, I have no doubt, would have been quite comfortable in a SubGenius-like environment.

[ironbuttermilk]

Tiny usually played his uke left handed, but he could play righty as well, and has been known to play guitar right handed.

[MrTruckergeek]

I just wanna say that Barbara Anderson (EVE) is one the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. I also remember her in a Star Trek episode. A wonderful actress!!!!

[bucks1414]

google tiny tim fan club merchandise for info and lovely tiny things!

[mechameister]

Oh god I love him, god bless him!

[bryandawkins]

you wouldn't know it today but Herbert Khaury

was a really hot act and they wrote about him in mad magazine

[Inept77]

WTF?

[shakmooll]

What?

[solord]

Too bad the whole Ironside pilot isn't on You Tube. Great program

[asabougies]

It's called whistling in the dark and i believe it was first recorded by sam lanin.

[63lambretta]

@asabougies Thanks for the Lanin's name, I found a recording. I eventually worked out my own chords for this lovely song!

[chopface96]

what was that song called that tiny was singing?

[Masamuneblader]

I note that this is the first time I've seen footage with him holding the ukulele like a right-handed person. Odd since he always has it lefty.

[fromthesidelines]

This was before he became a "celebrity" a year later (due to his occasional apperances on "ROWAN & MARTIN'S LAUGH-IN"}; the two-hour "pilot" this sequence came from originally aired in March 1967.

[Fruth37]

Straight looking narcs looking for pot smoking beatnicks.

[reckonman]

tiny tin brought joy to my life . thank you GODfor his time on earth .

[winifredatwell]

Tiny Tim was a wonderful man and this is a surprise. Thanks very much for posting. God bless the memory of Tiny Tim

[63lambretta]

I have loved Tiny since I was a child. But this performance is so haunting, and this song is firmly stuck in my head. Does anyone know the writer, and/or a place to find the chords?

[chrino21]

Great! But I never knew Tim Burton could sing so well!

[skidoofus]

your an idiot, TINY TIM

His name is in the title, look

[sonnenberg]

Heaven. Great to see Tiny Tim in such fine form, and so well filmed!

[maddymud]

wow -- American television goes Felini!! 1) the Narc walking among the hippies searching for a bad hippy; 2) Symphony for Cymbals; 3) Raymond Burr pretending to be straight and Tiny Tim pretending to be fey (which colors him gay in this era) ...

[tapeduk]

give me a dime so I can phone my mother-and tell her about Tiny

[zobajoe]

What a werido!.....I'm talking about Raymond Burr not Tiny Tim!

[MrWoofington]

Ha! I concur! Tiny was awesome, this clip is a truly rare gem.

[genericgeorge]

As I was saying, Tiny is playing RIGHT HANDED in this clip. This is the only time I have ever seeen him play ukelele right handed. He was a lefty. I did read somewhere he always played guitar right handed and taught himself to write right handed to cure his headaches. A unique character.

[accordionsfrommars]

Herb originally played the uke with his right hand and write with it as well, but he started to get awful migranes. His solution was to use his left hand for most things, and his headaches stopped, amazingly.

[genericgeorge]

Cool clip. The most intersting thing is TYiny is playing

[BrianBlouin]

thank you so much for posting, you don't know how rare it is to find this!

-Mr. Brian

[surlygirlie]

strange though he was, i find Tiny Tim to be incredibly handsome. *swoon*

[TracyInsomiac]

Raymond is a tough audience.

[phantomtikiskulls]

omg yay!!! 8DDD

Thanks for posting ^-^

[charmingwizkidwizard]

Was that the only part of the movie he was in????

[mentallo]

Yeah that was the only part he was in.

[charmingwizkidwizard]

OH MY GOD!! THANKS FOR POSTING THIS!! I LOVE YOU!!! (And Tiny Tim of course. He's a God.

[jamartellxiv]

GOD BLESS TINY TIM!

[bobertxxx]
