I remember him well. That song was originally a popular song from 1929's Gold Diggers of Broadway.  Do you remember Miss Vicki?  FYI, Tiny's real name was Herbert Butros Khaury.

Amen.

I have never been able to listen to all of this song without a break in the middle. It is terrible.

Oh, but it could always be worse:

I read that Johnny Carson had him on the show 20 times. Tiny wasn't right in the head, IMHO.

Amen.

Tiny wasn't right in the head, IMHO.

Do ya think?

Of course.  I wouldn't have said it otherwise. That said, those speculations have nothing to do with his novelty act, songs and public persona. There are a number of articles out there about him and there is also at least one book.

I was working at an AM radio station when this recording hit the charts. Nothing technically cringey about it, but it became SUPER annoying right quick, rubber ducky.

Amen.

GG Allin, whose birth name  was  "Jesus Christ Allin", was actually waaay beyond cringey. I'd say the most remarkable thing about him is that he actually had some fans. Here he is at a venue throwing his shit (yes, his feces) into the audience. He died at 36 years of age of a heroin OD:

Amen.

Sorry Pete Seeger, but this is some serious cringe:

Amen.
