Found this song for my 98 year old granny and her eyes lit up singing this song this morning said she had not heard this for decades and was delighted Thank you UA-cam
Worked as a caretaker with my mother taking care of a 90 year old cowboy and ex IBM employee. I had been playing Fallout New Vegas and it put me on a kick of Gene Autry, Nat King Cole, and Marty Robbins. I sang Big Iron in his house and he kept laughing and pointing finger guns at me. Miss ya Chuck, in the Wallowa mountains you shall remain forever, God speed cowboy.
~~Lyrics~~ Shades of night are creeping Willow trees are weeping Old folks and babies are sleeping Silver stars are gleaming All alone I'm scheming, scheming To get you out here, my dear [Chorus] Come tiptoe to the window, by the window That is where I'll be Come tiptoe through the tulips with me Tiptoe from your pillow To the shadow of a willow tree And tiptoe through the tulips with me [Verse 2] Knee deep in flowers we'll stray We'll keep the showers away And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight Will you pardon me? Come tiptoe through the tulips with me
"I Love Lucy" really made this song creepy when that weird guy who was trying to make Lucy like him kept singing it in a weird high pitched voice. I'm pretty sure that Tiny Tim was just imitating the "I Love Lucy" version.
“A double minded [man/woman] is unstable in ALL their ways!!!” It’s your dualistic nature that’s murdering you… destroying you from the inside, WITHOUT you EVER even knowing it!!!
I agree with you. Once I heard Tiny Tim's version I was unable to sleep that day. It was feeling like somebody is my house trying to murder me. Although his ( Tiny Tim's ) control over his voice was excellent.
I think this version is creepier and would have fit in better in Insidious, because of how unpolished it sounds recorded. Tiny Tim's version was intended to be a parody and comical. This version was serious.
@@caoyuann To be honest, from my perspective, it retrospectively made sense that they would ask Tiny Tim to starr in Blood Harvest--his rendition of the song, as much as I like it, sounds so pitched that I would be in fear for my life if he stood behind me in a dark room and started serenading me. (also because he's been dead for decades now) I prefer Nick Lucas' rendition, but I don't speak for Cameron, obviously.
I met Nick Lucas at the Mayfair Music Hall in Santa Monica in May 1974. I was playing the Scots Lowland Pipes, the Piano Accordion, and the Irish "Uilleann" Pipes, accompanied by my Fiddler, Dave Gussett. We followed Nick in the bill. He sang "Tulips" then intro-ed us as "A Couple of Young Irish Lads". I'll never forget it ! RIP Nick Lucas, You were GREAT !!!
Still holds up after all these years. Just an absolute classic in my humble opinion. Thank you for this post and helping me to remember there has always been good music.
This is.. it is... it's great stuff! I like the song, the guitar playing, the dancing. It's perfect! Thank you very much for this upload and sharing it with me.
I just... I wonder if people who watched this ever thought that this song would still listened to in 2014. I mean, back then people thought by 2014 we'd have flying cars and be on Mars.
Cuz most ppl know tiny version from the movie insidious. And probably went there to see if the song is still creepy without watching the movie. And most of us found out it was a man singing and not a woman after we searched it on UA-cam. Then ppl probably was sharing the video to others who probably didn't know either 🤷🏿♂️😂
@@xen7773 As best as I can tell, Frank Murin recorded the original on June 14, 1929. Nick Lucas sang it in "Gold Diggers of Broadway" (Released August 29, 1929). His "Tiptoe Thru The Tulips" hit #1 for 10 weeks. Annette Hanshaw recorded her version on September 20, 1929. But, Tiny Tim made it legendary in 1968.
@@slimthizzle11 nonsense, people know the Tiny Tim version because Tiny Tim was a big, big star and this was his signature song. Movie soundtrack usage is just a footnote.
Tiny Tim adored the classic music he listened to on phonograph. He sought to emulate and popularize it in his own time. And her was always very quick to adoringly give credit to the original artists he never passed it off as his own.
So weird that I never knew this was an actual love/courting song until I heard it this original version, since the first time I heard it was Tiny Tim's version... from the movie Insidious.
Goes to show you how you can take the same song & give'em two very different moods & tone. It's all about how the singer interprets it & later presented.
This song sounds like a sunny day, walking in the grass as the sun shines through, feeling the breeze on your face, a delicate flower visited by a bee🐝
Can we comprehend that this is almost a century old?? In 200 years humans will watch this and see literally history before their eyes...imagine you could watch medieval times through a scope...mind blowing
It’s ‘30s-‘50s for me. Of course, that does bleed a bit into the late ‘20s and early ‘60s, because music is defined more by trends than by decades. I just like the authenticity and pleasant melodies being played by ensembles and orchestras.
@@kylepuckett3268 Well, of course I love the music of the 50s and 60s too, but I'd consider the 50s to be the start of the early modern era. I think the next big change came in the late 70s/early 80s.
So romantic ❤🫠 thank you for sharing this wonderful song and sharing what it looks like back in the day❤ I just felt the romance between two people who are in love and especially the guy who sang the song so beautifully just to adore and shower his loved through the song❤❤ sooo romantic, so beautiful 😍 and the lady who is more feminine and so adorable the way she moves and 💃 dance🫶😍☺️ Thank you for this❤
Love this version ❤️ I first heard the song from a movie called Insidious, I'm scared by listening to this, not knowing that this song is such a masterpiece.
@Arjun Chettri do you even know the definition of an original artist. It is one who created the song, this guy has his own "version" to it more like what we call "cover" nowadays, he is not the original artist for this song. Look it up, Wikipedia is free.
@@dominicmarinduque848 lol shut up with your “wikipedia is free”. He was the original artist as he was the one who sang it and was on the charts. Sure there was a writer and a composer, as do songs of today (with writers). He was the original artist who put it on the charts.
@@dominicmarinduque848 this is literally the original. He didn’t write or compose it but he sang it. Just like many artists sing songs written by professional songwriters
I love how classy they were in them days. I feel nostalgia for some odd reason, and I'm a 90's child. Sad to say that class is out of the window today! 😢
This song plays on the car radio this guy is trapped in after a crash. His leg's pinned amongst the metal. Middle of nowhere, like in Canada or somewhere. It's like middle of the night and it's raining. Really eerie. Movie is "Wrecked", it's from 2010. Really good movie.
Late reply, but whatever. I think it's sad to me because it reminds me that these times are long gone. As in, most people Nicks age, if not all, are dead. It makes me think about how that's gonna happen to all of us. We'll repopulate, and then we'll die for many more generations.
So nice to hear the rarely sung verse. Almost all songs of this era had an opening verse (some people call it an "intro") which set the stage for the chorus and often told the story of the song. Besides being a wonderful singer, Lucas was one of the pioneers of jazz guitar.
Those of us who were around when TT covered this knew that it was an old song. A Google Ngram book search shows it being mentioned increasingly from the mid-40s until Tim did in on Rowan and Martin's show in 1968. It was just one of those old songs that kids in the 60s knew - it was in the air.

damn I had no idea tiny Tim did a cover. I had always thought it was an original.
like that robert hazard made girls just wanna have fun
EvenSteven Productions living in the sunlight loving in the moonlight was also a cover, his 2 most popular songs
he was very interested in keeping old folk songs alive
Tiny Tim's eccentricity overshadowed his amazing knowledge of music.
Lmao me too

~~Lyrics~~
Shades of night are creeping
Willow trees are weeping
Old folks and babies are sleeping
Silver stars are gleaming
All alone I'm scheming, scheming
To get you out here, my dear
[Chorus]
Come tiptoe to the window, by the window
That is where I'll be
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me
Tiptoe from your pillow
To the shadow of a willow tree
And tiptoe through the tulips with me
[Verse 2]
Knee deep in flowers we'll stray
We'll keep the showers away
And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight
Will you pardon me?
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me
you just looked at google I can tell cause it says “verse” and “Chorus”
@@airbvrne obvs lol
So with the lyrics imagine the goblin king saying this to you so he can sweep you away to his world

Thx
The guitar solo is REALLY cool in this version too.. underrated. Cool techniques with some of those open chord fingerpicked "runs"
You can hear the Django Reinhart influence.
@josephsauris4949 Nick was playing such guitar way before Django or even Eddie Lang😂😂😂😂😂
No AI, no auto tune ! Just pure brilliance
The original version is actually so romantic 😍
Tim's version is kind of creepy yet legendary 😈
"I love both"
Creepy to be look by some people lol, I respect both versions too!
"I Love Lucy" really made this song creepy when that weird guy who was trying to make Lucy like him kept singing it in a weird high pitched voice. I'm pretty sure that Tiny Tim was just imitating the "I Love Lucy" version.
this isnt the original version, the original version is from the 20s

#1 song in 1929 when the great depression hit.
Looking back from 2020 to learn some lessons.
oh shit, here we go again

Thanks for the thought. Hopefully we can all be happy someday.
I knew it. Time to defend ourselves again.. shoot’em out of the sky! 😈🤡☠️🪂🪂
I'm from 2024, things are "probaly" about to get worse.
i like this version better. i don’t feel like i’m going to be murdered when i listen to this one
Bet. Imagine walking into an abandoned building and then the lights starts flickering and this song starts playing out of nowhere.

This sounds really calming compared to Tiny Tims version
Yes this version is more calming. I like both versions. I like the original from 1929 too.
Dane de Scande fuck u
This version is creepy. Tiny Tim's is definitely the better version.
Well Tiny Tim is much higher pitched and shrill.
Yeah but i still like his ver.
1:29 "Will you pardon me" attracts my ears so much. Very well delivered.
Insidious made this song creepy to me but the actual version is really sorta beautiful
I feel the same
Sorta right? I feel the creepiness here too :p
That credit goes to Tiny Tim.
I think this version is creepier and would have fit in better in Insidious, because of how unpolished it sounds recorded. Tiny Tim's version was intended to be a parody and comical. This version was serious.
I actually found this version romantic. But, everybody's got their own view. In my opinion, it was just the setting that made it creepy.
Both versions are beautiful
Ngl, but you sure? Lol (we're all entitled to our opinions but tiny tim's is WEIRDDD)

Same .. I find both of them calming...

Gosh I love the interwar/Volstead music! 1918-1936 favorite era of music. All times!
