Did Tiny Tim . . . .


Did Tiny Tim get his inspiration from this movie??

The guy singing "Tiptoe Through The Tulips" in this film could easily have influenced TT's whole schtick.

I'm no expert, but . . . .

Tiny Tim did, indeed, get his inspiration from that song, as well as other songs written & performed by troubadour Nick Lucas (who is the person who is REALLY responsible for the song's fame).

However, it is highly unlikely that Tiny Tim ever saw this film-- and he need not have;-- "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" was very popular and well-known for a very long time, after this film's release.

He and Nick Lucas became very good friends, and Lucas sang Tiptoe through the tulips at his wedding
