Happy belated 48th anniversary, Tiny Tim and Miss Vicki

How could I have forgotten? I was watching, of course.

Tiny Tim (musician)

Herbert Buckingham Khaury (April 12, 1932 – November 30, 1996), known professionally as Tiny Tim, was an American singer, most of the time ukulele player, and musical archivist. He is best remembered for his cover hits "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" and "Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight" which are sung in a high falsetto/vibrato voice.
