Editing God Bless Tiny Tim (section)

==Background==
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]]. The arrangements are by [[Artie Butler]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tiny Tim {{!}} Artie Butler {{!}} Composer, Songwriter, Orchestrator |url=https://artiebutler.com/portfolio/tiny-tim/ |access-date=2023-05-11 |language=en-US}}</ref>

The songs were written by a variety of composers, most from the early 20th century, and most rather obscure; however, "[[I Got You Babe]]" was by [[Sonny Bono]], and "[[Stay Down Here Where You Belong]]" was by [[Irving Berlin]].

For some of the album, Tiny 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.
