John having a wonderful time Vocals by Tiny Tim. "BeatsonsGirl84 (2 months ago) I have an interview with the Beatles, circa 1968, and Paul does an imitation of his falsetto voice while John proposes "Tiny Tim For President". I never knew what on earth they were talking about until now. What a novelty act! By the way, is it just me, or does this tune sound like something from The Wizard of Oz? (Reply) " |

He looks like Sir Alec Guinness as Fagin, Joan Baez after a week without sleep, Margaret Hamilton as the wicked witch in the Wizard Of Oz[/color], and the gaunt mummy of Pharoah Seti the First.' There was certainly something unearthly about him. He claimed to subsist on a diet of wheat germ, apples, pumpkin seeds and honey. But no one ever knew for sure because nobody (not even his closest confidants) ever saw Tiny Tim eat or drink in public. A devoutly religious man, who lived his life according to the tenets of the New Testament and peppered his speech with thanks to the Lord, he was fey and effeminate, spoke in a courtly manner and addressed everybody as 'Mister' or 'Miss'. He seemed so genteel and naive that there were those that refused to believe that he was real and not a put-on or an act. But the only part of Tiny that was made-up was his face...

He would doubtless never acknowledge the influence (of Tiny Tim) but the roughly-applied greasepaint Dylan sported for his Rolling Thunder Revue tour in 1975 was quite clearly appropriated from Tiny. The two had crossed paths several times in the Sixties. One evening was spent together with Tiny singing Dylan's songs back to him, only in the style of a Thirties crooner. In Tiny's account, Bob's only response was to offer him a banana." (the song in the Lennon link)www.tsrocks.com/t/tim_tiny_texts/living_in_the_sunlight_loving_in_the_moonlight.html"Living In The Sunlight, Loving In The Moonlight by TIM TINY (spoken) Hello my dear friends! Well, here I am on record at last. And it feels so wonderful to be here with you on my first album. (sung) I'm so happy! AHA! Happy go lucky me! I just go my way, living everyday! I don't worry! Worrying don't agree, Things that bother you, never bother me! Things that bother you, never bother me I feel happy and fine! AHA! Living in the sunlight, loving in the moonlight Having a wonderful time! Haven't got a lot, I don't need a lot Coffee's only a dime Living in the sunlight, loving in the moonlight, having a wonderful time! Just take it from me, I'm just as free as any daughter. I do what I like, just what I like, and how I love it! I'm right here to stay When I'm old and gray, I'll be right in my prime! Living in the sunlight, loving in the moonlight, having a wonderful time! (humming) Just take it from me, I'm just as free as any daughter. I do what I like, just what I like, and how I love it! I'm right here to stay, When I'm old and gray, I'll be right in my prime, Living in the sunlight, loving in the moonlight, Having a wonderful time! (spoken) OH! Isn't this a lovely band!
