Dylan was a big Tiny Tim fan.
My favorite is the childrens special- lots of highlights but the best part is his song about global warming (1970):

I think that Tiny Tim’s instrument kills all political persuasions.

Karaoke tip: The melody to House of the Rising Sun syncs up perfectly to Mary Had a Little Lamb.

That’s silly. Fine version, of course. Bob Dylan’s version is good also. Probably the only version you really need is the one you sing yourself.

This is deeply weird. Tiny Tim is definitely an acquired taste. And sort of the living embodiment of Firesign Theater’s dictum, “Everything you know is wrong.” Mind you, I’ve grown to love him.

I’m a huge fan of bizarre covers, but this one was the only one I managed to enjoy until the end. But I would be remiss not to contrast it with my all time favorite cover of Stayin’ Alive.
And according to the comments on that YouTube link (yeah, yeah, I know…) the guitar solos are, in order of appearance: Dweezil Zappa, Zakk Wylde, Steve Lukather, Warren DeMartini, Nuno Bettencourt, and Tim Pierce.

Ahem…
Yeah, still going with Ozzy and Dweezil here.
Though the first couple notes, the wah pedal I heard from the laptop before I kicked it over to AirPlay, reminded me a lot of how the Dead would have approached this song.

…and it syncs even better to “O’ Little Town of Bethlehem”.

Tiny Tim always seemed like a Happy Mutant to me. Sort of the sweet to Captain Beefhaeart’s sour.
No, I don’t know if they ever met, or why I think of the two of them at the same time.

A little before my time, so this is the first time I’ve heard Tiny Tim, and I love it! Thanks Pesco, this was fantastic
