Tiny Tim - Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?
This is why I love Youtube.
Who'd have thunk it. Tiny doing a Rod Stewart, well "classic" isn't quite the word I'm looking for, but you get the idea.
This is like two great tastes that taste great together...you've got peanut butter in my chocolate, no you've got ...
Now I know how Rudy Vallee would have sounded on the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack.
What the world really needs now, is a little Tiny Tim.
Miss ya, Tiny.

Yeah, I can't believe some of the clips of old tv shows and whatnot I've found on YouTube. No wonder Google bought it...
Your love for Tiny Tim baffles me to this day. :-)
That's nothing, I own a Tiny Tim box set...
Just for the record "Mr. Green Guy", Tiny Tim was a living, musical heritage museum.
I respected and admired him because he was bold enough to do what he loved to do, despite the humor poked at him nearly constantly and his inability to make more than a meager amount of money for doing it.
He was a gentleman's gentleman (and the ladies dug him quite nicely as well from many accounts!).
Plus, sometimes I think the world at large just takes itself way to seriously. Tim wasn't about to let anyone get away without at least a chuckle.
He was a weird, wonderful guy, and the world would be a much nicer place if more people put their problems and troubles aside for a few minutes and listened. Maybe VH1 should do a "Behind the Music" or even a movie... :-)
From what I've read, Tiny Tim knew and could play any one of 10,000 or more songs--on demand. A little weird or creepy? Yes. A genius? Definitely.
I am Tim......But I can never hope to replace the original.
Ok, you guys convinced me. Tiny Tim is great. Come to think of it, I sure did like that ukulele music when I was a kid. And, yes I admit it, I stayed up and watched Tim marry Miss Vicki on the Tonight Show in '69.
