He was quite serious when he sang in his normal voice. He was kidding when using the falsetto. Theres one clip from the carson show when he sings Living In
the Sunlight that is lol funny! But actually, he was nominated for a grammy! :o
You'd have thought the guys in the back would have at least taken the tiime to learn the darn song before the taping. they didnt play one note or chord right the entire song! I bet tim noticed.
Was this guy influenced by any comedians? Some of his acts are fucking hilarious, but I'm unsure if it is really a joke. Sort of a Andy Kaufman-esque maybe, or just fucking crazy?
On December 24 at 8 o'clock in the morning, a young 14 year old boy by the name of Scott Johnson was found dead. Doctors couldn't come up with the cause of his death. His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened. Turns out he was still signed in myspace. She found he had gone to sleep after he read and didn't repose a chain letter. If you don't repose this to six videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. sorry don't want to to die
What I like about Tiny Tim is that he took his music (tin-pan alley) very, very seriously and delivered it in his own unique way, but he also realized that people found it funny and laughed at him - he took it in stride, went along with it, enjoyed that he made people laugh and smile, and in the end he won over many - heck, most of us. What a great guy, it's too bad he passed away. I'm glad he was a Christian.
@SuperCrappyVideos I will be the first to pick a Youtube fight with someone who I think is an arrogant religous nut, but johnny07652 said nothing of that sort.
You have no idea what johnny thinks about non-Christians, and it's arrogant to say otherwise.
@TheScottKirk He says that hes glad he was a christian when he passed away. Read between the lines (barely) and its pretty obvious that he thinks non christians are going to hell. not saying he thinks theyre bad people, just that he thinks they are going to burn for all eternity
@SuperCrappyVideos Tiny Tim's beliefs have nothing to do with my criticism of you. All he said was,
" . . . too bad he passed away. I'm glad he was a Chrisitan."
Again: regardless on whether or not Tiny Tim's beliefs, all Johny said was that was glad that a talented performer (which he explained first off) was of the (or at least what he thinks to be) the same belief system.
Johny didn't say, "I'm glad he's not roasting in hell like those . . . " You're just looking for confrontation.
I detest the canned laughter these TV idiots added to this track. This was a totally serious performance, and no one understood his true talent. He was definitely autistic, and a musical genius with an encyclopaedic understanding of the music of this era. Brilliant.
Good luck trying to find this song on Google. Tiny Tim brought songs to life that otherwise existed only on ancient phonograph records and in sheet music. Without him, many of these songs would still be lost.
@curlytoes79 Thats very interesting. You have helped me find new respect for this man, and I will learn more about him. I used to think of him as a weird trick pony type guy, obviously never actually looking into him.
What are the chords for this? I wanna play this randomly to my friends if things ever get quiet to just. . . make things. . . funny(?). Ah, it'll be hilarous I think.
How exactly does one not see "that kind of talent" anymore? What is so extraordinary about his abilities? There are people lots of people who are able to sing and play as well.
He was a real character! Very talented and good showman. There was a time in the 60's when 1920's style/design became popular. 'Bonnie & Clyde' movie, 'Winchester Cathedral' song, & of corse Tiny Tim, to name a few.
My hero, I actually never heard of him until I started playing ukulele and singing at an Irish pub and ever since I haven't been able to escape the tiny tim remarks! He lives on in my 1929 martin style 2 uke :)
You know , Tiny Tim was a little before my time and all I was told about him was his wedding on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and of course " Tip Toe Trough the Tulips" , I was sold short , for some reason I decided to look him up today and this guy was a good showman ! I wish more Americans were more into him during his peak in the 60's but I believe most Americans were peaking on LSD back then. Damn Hippies !
Wow,,,,has anyone noticed that Tim was an ambidextrous musician,, meaning he could play both left/right handed,,,i have a new found respect for this man.
To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if Weird Al took a bit of inspiration from Tiny Tim. In a sense it isn't a long step from what Tiny Tim did to straight up parodies.
A friend of mine was just commenting on the similarity between TT and Weird Al as well. I would say that Weird Al definitely took a good bit of inspiration from Tiny. As far as Alice Cooper, yep. How about Alice starring in "The Tiny Tim Story"?
tiny tim was a joke, he was a performer, he wanted to make people happy, and he did, he always makes me happy when i'm stressed out, it's just rediculous music and you can't help but smile, long live the king!!
Tiny Tim could pull off a good joke, yes. He did make people happy and I am personally impressed with his vocal range. He could also sing "This is All I Ask" in a deep register. Comedy was one of his gimmiks to help accentuate his style. Tiny also successfully preserved the songs from the American past as a musical archivist. Those songs might have been forgotten if it wasn't for him and I think that the musical world owes him some gratitude for the effort.
I'm asuming that this is the song performed after "Gully Swagger", also here on YouTube. In that song he plays the guitar RIGHT handed. He then grabs the Uke and plays it LEFT Handed??!
