Tiny Tim the Musician

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

Anyone else find him super interesting. He was mentioned on the Howard Stern show about a week ago and I remembered how fun his old interviews on that show were. Also, Howard mentioned there was a book released about him a long time ago that Tim sued over. Anyone know what book it is exactly? I wouldn't mind reading it, but I tried looking it up and there were a few Tim books. The one Howard mentioned sounded interesting so I would want to buy the right one.

I remember seeing him at a young age on the King's Court. Had no idea who they guy was and I was a little confused by his name, the only Tiny Tim I knew at the time being from A Christmas Carol. But I also remember they tried using him as a vehicle to get the people to start calling Lawler the "Dairy Queen" rather than the Burger King. That name originally thought up by Bret Hart. Then I remember Lawler smashing his Ukulele and Tiny Tim proceeding to act like an old grandma who stumbled onto some porn by mistake.

I saw him at the bottom of his career playing Tiptoe Through the Tulips at a cheap circus. I had no clue who the guy was, but man people flocked to get his autograph.

Lawler's intro was hilarious: "I'd like to introduce one of the greatest singers of all time. But instead, I'm going to introduce Tiny Tim."

guy was a weirdo, but I think that was his idea, kinda like Andy Kaufman

He reacted with barely contained glee?

He's one of my favorite musicians of all time. "God Bless Tiny Tim" is such a great album.

I thought the thread title said "musical" I was looking forward to that.

My dad turned me on to Tiny Tim as he had God Bless Tiny Tim and it's one of my favorite albums.

Since then I got to see him on Laugh In and I think he was the real deal, as opposed to the Andy Kaufman comparison.

There's an old E! True Hollywood story on him

I legit adore his Christmas album. I consider his take on "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" the definitive version. Really captures the childlike wonder the song's supposed to convey:

His voice has appeared in a nightmare or two of mine.
