Oh God I remember that and having to ask my dad what he ment by “GD freaks” to the tv screen

[fieldmarshaldj]

Back when weird and creepy was plain charming.

And are they still Tip Toeing through the Tulips?

[Perdogg]

No he passed away in 1996

[cameraeye]

No. He’s pushing daisys.

[BunnySlippers]

I saw him “in concert” here in LA before he became ... uh, famous. It was at a little cabaret in the parking lot of the Hollywood Ranch Market grocery.

He’s pushing daisys.

oy. it's daisies.

But you still get a ba-da-bing.

[teletech]

No he passed away in 1996

He now plays that great ukulele in the skys.

40 years! I remember my Dad telling my brother that Tiny Tim was getting married and my brother responding “To What?”

[Mister Da]

I remember this freak show. I thought “Miss Vickie” was crazy.

[Maine Mariner]

Boy do I feel old!

[Perdogg]

I was really young at the time, 3, and I used to do a little jig to the song “Tip toe through the tullips” thank God my parents could not afford a movie camera.

[Nea Wood]

Tim is pushing daisies, but where is Miss Vickie now? Is she still alive?

[Perdogg]

Still alive

Believe it or not, Tiny TIm was a walking encyclopaedia of early American Music. The repository of music in his brain would probably rival the LIbrary of Congress. But, Yeah, he was a bit weird looking and that high falsetto voice was the capper...
