EP 32: Tiny Tim (Part 1) - The Origin Of A Troubled Soul

Lyrics Of Their Life - The Music Biography Podcast

In Part 1 of this Halloween special, we delve into the real life horror story of Tiny Tim known best for his eerie rendition of Tiptoe Through The Tulips, accompanied by his ukulele and high falsetto vocal style as we explore the twisted origins of Herbert Butros Khaury and the trauma that he endured growing up, battling with his strict Marxist parents and his faith in god, to which Herbert claims was often tested by none other than Satan himself. Together we learn of Tiny's strange ways such as bathing after every bowel movement, his inexcusable and strange relationship with a minor and his determination to make it as a star at all costs, even at the expense of his elderly parents own health and finances and all the intricate details that led up to the creation of the Tiny Tim persona. All that and more in this crazy story. Enjoy!!!
