Tiny Tim sings Snake Gully Swagger

[Streisand1HorseLover]

i have got such a huge crush on him <3 <3 <3

[ThunderTrip]

@Streisand1HorseLover Your name is "HORSE LOVER'... Not so nice for such a grrreat man

[Streisand1HorseLover]

@ThunderTrip

wtf ???????????

[evilfinchman]

i came here when i read tiny tim and swagger in the same title. finally

[secretblueyedgirl]

Is this really him...

[taterthesufferer]

I'm pretty sure I'm the only freshman in highschool who actually respects him as a musician. and I LOVE him! :)

[akerswizard779]

He has swagger before everyone.

[Griwhoolda]

I think it's funny that he sings this in his natural baritone (beautiful!), and then flips into the falsetto for the spoken directions to the "audience." (And adds a few falsetto notes).

[iHeartinsidious]

SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[vulcangrl13]

Holy shit, I just realized! I have a friend who was adopted. While looking up pics of Tiny from when he first started out, he had shoulder length hair like her, and I swear he's her bio dad. They look exactly alike. Even the same facial expression on his face in the pic that she has all the time. O___O

The only thing is, she's blond....

[Bresciani27]

@vulcangrl13 Omg i had a friend who had the same hair, facial structure, and expressions, she has black hair though, and I don't think she was adopted... but its so weird every time i see Tiny Tim I think of her.

[L1VE0RD1E]

BASED GOD AINT GOT NOTHIN ON THIS GUY

[varmintrifle]

I don't think he was naturally ambidextrous. He was born left handed and just taught himself to use his right hand for some things. He said it was to stimulate the other side of his brain and claimed it stopped his headaches (according to tinytim.org anyway).

[soulfox40]

Okay, it's decided. If I could have any person as a performer at my birthday party, it would be this guy.

[vulcangrl13]

I don't care what people think, he was freakin' cute when he was younger. <3

[AvalancheRomance]

@vulcangrl13 i know!! i would travel back in time and do him lol

[waitinforasuperman]

snake gully swag.

[pika23]

I met him in 1985 when I was 7. Nice nice man!  He sang tip toe, beer barrel polka, 4 leaf clover,

[ccb57]

I worked and Traveled with Tiny and his road show in the 70's .

He had at that time a wonderful sense of humor and was very a private person. One of the fondest memories was shpping for him just to make sure we have the right kind of cold cream for his nightly facials and making sure the girls in his shows had just the right shade of red toe nail polish .

He had a beautiful baritone voice that was very shocking to most people.

[FlowersClouds]

0:02...he looks so sexy, that calm lovely smile :) 

[FlowersClouds]

I love Tiny Tim, (R.I.P.)...he was amazing, so talented :-). Thanks for posting this, it's one of his best performances!

[FlowersClouds]

LOVE this song :-D

[aronswritingdeskyt]

Proof we need gun ownership in the UK

[missedthebus]

gully blud!

[bhfam]

wait a sec, he plays left-handed ukelele, buts he's playing right handed on guitar.

WTF!?!

[ocgiii]

I noticed that too! Very strange indeed.

[nickonoise]

Delight. Thanks for posting. ;-)

[MrLeglamp]

I wonder how many gully's has he swaggered his snake in?

[ABgarden]

Guys= 0

Girls = a few?

he's really religious actually...he even stated in a Midnight Blue Interview he felt bad after masturbating once

[MarthaMental]

god, he's so adorable and sexy.

[gabm]

2:03-2:13 I love Tiny Tim :)

[imasuperbeaver]

Mark this as the moment he became my idol, everyone.

[JustMandyKidAz]

@imasuperbeaver He became my idol aswell!

[theseachen]

hes right handed here but left handed on ukelele and stuff:S? anyone know anything bout this?

[ihearttinytim]

He was ambidextrous.

[999manman]

@ihearttinytim Man, I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous!!!

[Griwhoolda]

@999manman LOL!

[999manman]

@Griwhoolda Thanks!!!

[delbomb3131]

@999manman its not that hard to learn actually the best advise i could give you is learn how to juggle then after you get comfortable with that then just start practicing with other stuff to use your opposite hand

[delbomb3131]

@999manman its not that hard to learn actually the best advise i could give you is learn how to juggle then after you get comfortable with that then just start practicing with other stuff to use your opposite hand

[999manman]

@delbomb3131 That's an idea! Thanks!

[pazzensutra]

I just now noticed this! I was just watching him on Uncle Floyd (which was fantastic, I might add), and he played the uke left handed. A strangely unique individual, Tim was.

[VealParmigiana]

Where is Dinkydiland. I couldn't find it on a world map and Googling it doesn't work. Maybe it is a part of Heaven.

[vinedude1]

dinkydiland is a loose term for australia generally speaking

[VealParmigiana]

One of my three favorite TT songs, Good Shit.

[TheNatural88]

he's like a twist between willy wonka and wierd al but better than both of them combined

[bloosdoode]

I think his guitar looks right-handed because this is coming from Australia -- they're 'down under', so everything there probably looks backwards to us, yeah.. that's the it...!

Seriously, I suspect this man was far more talented than anybody ever suspected, I've heard his first album and it is absolutely brilliant, he sings in many styles and voices, and is highly entertaining -- one song even predicting the melting ice-caps!!

[OzzO777]

Amazing! God bless Tiny Tim!

[crazyeye1]

Tiny Tim could play with both arms?

as in play lefty and righty?

Awesome song.

Deep voice this time.

[PineappleSex69]

yep. he can do it all =)

he is quite amazing, too bad he is dead now =(

[stewballmax2]

God Bless Tiny Tim!

Thanks for posting.:)

Pax,

Max

[MissPickletoes]

I saw him perform in 1967 or 68....in Chicago...He was an amazing one man show. Far more talent that most people realized...

[mrsamandajonas1502]

i wish he stayed alive 4 another 4 years so i could talk to him hes awsome and soo happy

[weenielongus]

Wow, wish I could see this whole special!!?? His first album is one of my all-time favorites!! It includes songs about Heaven, hell and everything in-between, plus it has the first song Paul Williams claims he sold, the beautiful "Fill Your Heart"!! I really loved this video and the song.

[miketodd67]

I'll bet he swaggered his snake in Miss Vicky's gully once or twice.

[accordionsfrommars]

His first child with her was a miscarriage.

so yeah, apparently he did.

[AlexGeh]

why did he play the ukulele left handed but the guitar right handed..?

[hobofury8]

lol, i was wondering that as well

[bobogolem]

Tiny was Titanic!!!

[sprant61]

ghastly!

[pacoaronmatt2]

i thought he was left handed, or is that just the way you play the ukelayle

[Erosmonkey]

Nice song. I think Tiny Tim would have been a lot of fun to talk to. Makes me sorry I never got the chance. A very unique personality.

[Craigmin]

Enter "tiny tim stern" into the YouTube search engine to find a 30 minute interview with Tiny from '88.

[Erosmonkey]

Thanks craigmin!

[reptilicus]

What a talent Tiny Tim was. Great song. He was a leading authority on vaudeville music.

[mutedmajority]

He was the Marilyn Manson of his day

[rinygrin]

2:46 lol

[heywatsup14]

your rite!!! AT 2:46 ON THE TINY TIM VID is hilarryous!!!!!!! lol

[rinygrin]

I love this song!

[fritspas]

crickey, thats one massive ukelele

[shoelessjess]

forget his name, heritage, eccentricites, and all that...

there's a man shearing sheep in the background.

[flamboastin1]

maybe I'm just crazy but I believe our times would be a bit more interesting if we were as accepting of this kind of performance art (even as a novelty) as they were in the late 60's early 70's (Glad to be born in these times, not trying to be pompish)

[evolawonder]

many actors change their original names and alike many armenians in tims case he used his mothers maiden khoury but fathers name was bagoosian,..just look at his nose he's definetlely an armenian lol

[accordionsfrommars]

He was Lebanese.

[evolawonder]

well if you believe that youre a goober whom googles way too much,..but hey he was more Vagitarian than Lesbian

[accordionsfrommars]

Whatever... he was Lebanese. I have a book about him from the 70's. I don't believe you at all.

[evolawonder]

you do believe however what you read it seems the truth is based upon your belief but yet youre correct he was half lebanese,..being that he is deceased do you think he makes any money off a book that you read of him? maybe korney love has all the rights!

[WH61193]

I thought his real name was Herbert Khoury??

[ihearttinytim]

Yep, although when his dad came over, the misspelled the last name as Khaury, so Tiny's legal name is/was herbert Khaury, which is a variation o fthe orginal, "Khoury."

[WH61193]

the 60's were big enough for very eccentric people to be widely appreciated

[evolawonder]

Tim Bagoosian was my Uncle believe it or not he use to play all the songs on an Ute but no one recognized the instrument and besides he could do the samething with his ukellali!

[WH61193]

Herbert Khoury?

[Yookyoolaylee]

tiny tim where's your ukulele?

so unique.

to hear some really serious ukulele

click on the username above...

[OdessaMaki]

Tiny Tim was semitic, but he was Lebanese, not a jew. He was a much underappreciated and unique talent, we will never see the likes of him again. God Bless Tiny Tim.

[solti89]

He was kinda good fellow.. maybe a bit weird.. But only his mother was Labanese, and his pa was a jew from Poland.. Correct me if I'm wrong..

[solti89]

By the way.. He became a Christian later.. what a shame.. :(

[OdessaMaki]

You're right! His Mother was a Polish Jew, Tillie Staff, so Tiny Tim, if viewed under hebraic law is a JEW! Wow! Doesn't diminish his appeal, although have him clad in Hassidic garb and he becomes the stuff of nightmares.

[sugateddy]

No, I'm not referring to politics. When I meant lefty, I meant playing LEFT HANDED. He always plays left handed, which is special to me. In this video he's clearly playing RIGHT HANDED. I guess he's talented to play both hands. By the way, I play left handed too.

[DrVonChilla]

This is great....thanks for posting. Love the way his guitar goes immediately out of tune and gets worse as he goes along. A great video!

[spartaeus]

He could sing anything and turn it into his own. What a great guy!

[sugateddy]

He's a lefty, but in this video he's playing right handed.

[7beers]

Can't we please leave politics out of this?

[danrob8]

There will never be another artist like him.

[elpollococo]

His voice!

[stuvs]

what i thought he sang hella high?

[ihearttinytim]

He can also sing hella low. :o)

[BELACSAMOHT]

ok cartman

[RP1117]

singing low is hardly audible.

[bohab1969]

Tiny tim is the greatest

[genericgeorge]

Tiny was similar in some ways to Dylan and Lennon. All were weird, all were great orators and all were 20th century originals. They also all had big hooters!Was tiny as talented as the other two? Umm...no. But the guy had long hair a good ten years before the beatles, stones or anyone and kept it regardless of the narrowmindednes of the sheep who gave gim hell for being different. Thats why I'll always love this guy.

Bless you Tiny tim.

[rinygrin]

By hooters...please tell me your talking about their noses?!

[genericgeorge]

LOL yes! Im not aware any of them had man boobs or any other large body part.

[LennonLives10940]

John's nose wasn't big!

it was just curvy, kthx

haha, but yes, they were all weird, and quite amazing <3

[genericgeorge]

Tiny kept up the strange, eccentric, gay persona(not that theres anything wrong with that!) too long. His first 2 albums were great - the 3rd was a childrens album. People by that time had tired and just thought of him as a weirdo when he was much much more. As I said before he was great talker. If you heard him on Howie Stern and Mort Downey shows you see the real Tiny Tim.

[genericgeorge]

And yes I know he wasnt gay(not that there's anything wrong with that again!) but he sure acted like it on that first Carson appearance. What were people supposed to think at that time...1968?

[horsesflu]

it's the archetypal "jew nose"

[MissPickletoes]

He ws not Jewish ..but Lebanese...correct me if I am wrong...

[ihearttinytim]

He was Jewish *AND* Lebanese. His mother was Jewish, from Poland, and his dad was from Beirut, Lebanon.

[ihearttinytim]

More specifically, his dad was Catholic, from Beirut, Labanon.

[MissPickletoes]

Thank you.....I saw him in Chicago in 1968 or 69 at the Auditorium Theatre. He gave a great show. Everything he did, you could just tell he did it for the sheer love of the old songs.

[pazzensutra]

Wish I could have seen that. I walked by him at a music store (here in Des Moines, Iowa) and I'll kick myself forever for not shaking his hand or something.

[moby406]

I met him when he was with the Circus. he was so cool, we had a nip off his flask and talked til he had to go back in. I got him to sign a few cherished autographs. God Bless Tiny Tim

[genericgeorge]

It would be nice if Scubyndo could upload 'Bushwacker' and 'Have you seen my little sue' from the same special. Its a weird show, taped over here in about 1970 with no audience in the studio - only canned laughter and applause. This performance is OK. His guitar is out of tune though and changes the time signature halfway through though.

[Scubyndo]

I will try and post them soon

[ihearttinytim]

Geez, he's so ding-dang sexy! :o)

[charmingwizkidwizard]

I love him. XD

[ihearttinytim]

I love him more. *big grin* Only teasing you. :o) But I do have a tribute site for him, if you check my profile. I also have a tribute video on this site (check my profile). I invite all Tiny Tim fans to visit my Tiny Tim tribute site. :o) THANKS FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO!! It's getting added to my tribute site! ((((hugs to you))))
