More from Tiny Tim: • Tiny Tim's Greatest Hits
In 1968, Tiny Tim, known for his high-pitched singing, released a popular song called "Tip Toe through the Tulips." With just his ukulele, Tiny Tim sang this tune, and it became a hit. He even appeared on famous TV shows like Rowan and Martin’s Laugh In and the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. The song itself, written by Al Dubin and Joe Burke way back in 1929, was a big success then too, staying at number one on the charts for ten weeks. It's about wanting to meet someone in a tulip garden for a romantic kiss under the moonlight. Although it's not clear if the songwriters or Tiny Tim knew the meaning behind the tulip, in Victorian times and in funerals, tulips were seen as a symbol of love and passion. Unlike roses, tulips don't have thorns, and even after they're cut, they still keep growing, which is why they're often linked with everlasting life.

Even though he dropped out of high school, Tiny Tim loved old music from the late 1800s to the 1930s. and wanted to be a singer. He learned to play the guitar and ukulele and started performing as "Larry Love" in the early 1950s. He often sang at a cabaret in Greenwich Village called Page 3.

It's funny until someone taps on your window at 3am on the 3rd floor.
THAT’S SO CREEPY!
Maruf Rashid Khan this comment made me laugh and seriously paranoid
Or until you pause the song halfway through at 3 am, then turn your phone off, then all of the sudden something in your room starts back up where you left off on the song.
@@careleenabowman4202 you should watch 'Insidious-Chapter One' if you haven't already.. This is somewhat happens there, except for 3am, it was 3pm.

He died in a hospital after the heart attack, not in the stage.
@@pad_thai they didn't say he died on stage, they just said he had the heart attack while preforming
@@pad_thainegative. He recover from that heart attack. 2 months later, while performing this song, he had a 2nd heart attack and never regained consciousness.

Thats the best fkn plot twist i ever heard

I’ll be tiptoeing outta my house if I heard this play at 3 a.m.

You had your own unique voice.
Some people say this is scary but it's not.
Rip 🕊️🕊️
I don't care nobody talks about you.
You are still a legend to me .
Thanks... he represented a way of life pretty much gone! A humorous approach. The dude that sold pianos, tuned pianos, and knew about parlor music!
I talk about him all the time, for the man was a legend. He's buried at a local mosuleum here in Minneapolis, and I have often gone to pay tributes. i have a lot of respect for the guy, and I'm so glad my city embraced him as they did
Finally I found a comment that wasn’t 4 years ago
Let’s be real, tiny Tim is part of the 1% who will be remembered for as long as humans are here. Bravo sir. RIP to a legend
You do know how he got his voice right?
I'm here bc a few years back a friend commented that my 12 year old son looked like Tiny Tim with his hair... today I couldn't be prouder that my teenager is 15 and is writing music and teaching himself how to play on a ukulele someone gifted him, and he still refuses to cut his long curly locks. The universe is funny 😂

Spot on. Wondered the same thing. Lol
Yep
I thought I was seeing stuff so I'm glad I found this comment
He sang this for his daughter, it wasn’t intentionally supposed to be a horror movie song

I got a scar bc of this fucken song XD when i was little my brother scared the crap out of me and I tip toed through the window XD
Right
I genuinely respect how uncomfortable he makes me feel
You're uncomfortable??? Bro I'm getting flashbacks from the insidious 😅💀
PapiTulo fr 😂😂😂 me too
Same
lenny does the twist
He’s a nice guy or r/niceguy?
Smh
Xd
Playing musical chairs alone at midnight and playing this song is horrifying
Instagram reels ahh
It’s not scary! It’s actually a peaceful song, it’s just the way he sung it here.
You play any happy songs in a horror atmosphere, it will automatically elevate the horror level.
And this multiplies if the song is 60 or more years older than the current time. E.g. If Louis Armstrong starts singing Jeepers Creepers (1938), probably run.
Bioshock material
No it's just because he died on stage singing that song :(( he was a really cool dude and nice. But he died of a heart attack.
I listened this music first time in a horror movie xd
Yes for sure
Interesting fact: Tiny Tim was using this voice to imitate the sound of the singers on 1920’s radio.
That's actually quite interesting
Wow really???? I feel like some might not make fun of him as much if they knew that
That's really cool fact!
stop lying
during the 1920, television or tv don’t have colors instead black and whites (shades).
Heard this as a child, and still love this
La mejor música de Tiny Tim
Actually pretty impressive how he was able to manipulate his voice to perform that voice
VERY impressive, so impressive its scary!!
He was a hoot! Created a whole character including doty old lady mother.....we were a lot happier people back then. They named thier daughter tulip, but i don't know what she does now....cracked us up on laugh in
He has a good vibrato for someone who was probably singing in falsetto the whole time.
@@karlbuchanan1363 Ah, the good days...Where the nonwhites and women all knew their place!
Doug Clement no stop it
It’s all fun in games until your security camera plays this song
Welp u got this from inside edition

@@vicetacion SMH
diss e I’m here because of that 😂😂

POV you do musical chairs by yourself. If the chair tips over, you can go in that room no more but if the song stops you’re good.
Without tiny tim, insidious and the firs sponge bob's episode would be nothing...
100 % trueeee
100% PERCENT TRUE
I was just thinking about the insidious film you read my mind lol
Tickle GD ong

Herbert, Mostly Known as Tiny Tim Was a Genuinely Nice Person. Was Kind, Never Did Drugs (That we know of), And Always Stayed Positive like Most Should. He Died at Age 64, And Lived From 1932 - 1996. This Comment Is Meant as a Memorial For Tiny Tim. Rest In Peace.
@@pandix4031 im Glad.
❤️❤️
He died at 34?
lazarboiigamer he said 64
May He rest in Paradise and never be forgotten♥️ Tiny Tim shall forever be Iconic🙏🏻♥️
Love this beautiful, happy song.
WE FINNA BE CATCHIN GORILLA TAG GHOSTS WITH THIS ONE 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You can hear people in the audience laughing, but Tim never let that stop him from doing what made him unique.
He was a comedian this was an act to mock singers in the 1920s
They were supposed to laugh
He had a heart attack on live tv that made me scared of this song
As a performer myself, we enjoy reactions from the audience, most of the time it is seen as rude, but really we love it when the audience laughs, cries, and sings with us
I think he was in on the joke
Why is this song terrifying.. can imagine him tip toeing through someone’s window tbh
Fr though
Jimme Lodder horrifying 😩😩
It was in a horror movie called Insidious 😆
Insidious is what made this song scary for me
Because it is used for scary movies so it puts I type of thought in your head
It's a cover of an old song, originally sung by Catherine Henshaw in 1929 for the film Gold Diggers of Broadway. Tiny Tim actually had a deep singing voice, but he sang it falsetto.
He had excellent control of his whistle register! (Yes, it's a real thing.)
Everybody Gangsta until your piano starts playing the tune for this at midnight.
Real Gangstas don't have a piano in their home.

Just imagine u watching tv home alone and electricity goes off and u hear this playing from the bathroom
Uhhhhhhhh scary? Or funny? I pick scary.

Rip to a man who said
“Now the makeup and the white powder also came between '52 and '54. The reason for that was I had always looked at beautiful women, and I'm not saying 18. I'm saying 14, 15, 16, 17; that's when a beautiful girl can be so innocent and wonderful in her youth. But I had pure thoughts, I wouldn't dare bring up fornicating, but I thought if I married one like that, they would be an eternal princess forever and I would get to heaven. I looked for these women, and I still do today.
"If I went out with a 14-year-old girl, I would definitely ask her parents' permission and bring her back the same way she left. I just want to take a look at that beauty, just like a vampire who wants to suck in the blood, but doesn't want to kill the victim."

He isn't creepy he has a really cool way of singing and it's how he thought it was supposed to be sung

Bro if i hear this shit while im walking down the street at night im doing the dash
It wasn't an audition and he didn't die in front of anyone but the hospital staff that was attending to him. And it wasn't just any performance, if I'm not mistaken, it was this one in the video. Again, if I'm remembering right, he was having chest pains, went to the hospital, turned out he was suffering a heart attack. Died no more than 5 hours after the performance.
@@joshuagaither4866 he's way too young here for this to be that performance. This looks more like when he was first getting recognition back in the 60s.

I work in retail. I'm going to get a ukulele and learn this song. Whenever I have an angry customer, I'm just going to start playing and singing this. Same thing if my manager starts fussing at me.
The control of his voice is out of this world. Never seen a single person do that.

Must not listen to post malone
I mean he did it huh?🤣 lol
I can do it. I am 14 going on 15 though. I can go quite high and quite low.
@@MattIsTheCat keep practicing but I'd suggest vocal classes if u aren't going already. If you can do it they can teach you how to maintain being able to do it, and prevent any injuries to your vocal cords

Have you heard about that Tiny Tim had a heart attack while performing this song

I would cover my ears and have a panic attack I have phasmophobia
If I spelt it wrong it's the phobia of ghost btw
But I would like this song anyways it's just scaring but not intended to be
It's the way he is singing and moving his eyes

@@yolololo5501 same i even vibe to it
it’s creepy cause he died while singing it
@@Mia-hu3cu that’s not too creepy imo, the fact that he died singing it was just a pure coincidence and he died of a natural cause. The lyrics are quite wholesome/romantic as the commenter said
I feel like that’s what makes it super scary in context. Because it’s honestly a happy song but when it’s playing during an eerie moment it makes it super uncomfortable.
The demon in the Insidious has a good taste of music.
