Tiny Tim performing his song “Tiptoe Through the Tulips“ live, originally released in 1968 and from the album “God Bless Tiny Tim.“
More from Tiny Tim:
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.
