God Bless Tiny Tim is the debut album by Tiny Tim. Released in 1968 on the Reprise label, it included "Tiptoe Through The Tulips" (the song which made him famous), a version of "I Got You Babe", and a collection of obscure songs. Many of the songs have humorous lyrics, are sung for humorous effect, or have an unexpected hook.
It is widely praised. The album was produced by Richard Perry, who had produced Captain Beefheart's first album Safe as Milk and later produced albums by Barbra Streisand, Harry Nilsson, Rod Stewart, Carly Simon and Ringo Starr.
For some of the album, Tim sings in his unusual falsetto style. However, on a number of songs ("Stay Down Here Where You Belong", "The Coming Home Party" and others) he sings in a rich baritone, demonstrating his voice's range. In "On the Old Front Porch", "Daddy, Daddy, What Is Heaven Like?" and on "I Got You Babe", he sings both baritone and falsetto, alternating between the two. A joke in "I Got You Babe" is revealed in the last words where both baritone and falsetto voices unexpectedly sing at once, revealing the apparently agile duet is actually himself singing double-tracked.
