Can you refresh my memory on a Tiny Tim appearance on the Johnny Carson show?

Can you refresh my memory on a Tiny Tim appearance on the Johnny Carson show? I recall Tiny coming out and singing a patriotic song from a bygone era-- this was during the Vietnam War era-- a nd the audience started booing. Then he dropped into his baritone voice and gave them an "America- love it or leave it" speech. Can you give me any more info? What the song was, etc.?

Hi,

Tiny did several patriotic songs on the Carson show during this time. He also released some 45's around this time as well. They were "America I Love You", "What Kind Of American Are You" and "Don't Bite The Hand That's Feeding You". All are available on the new Tiny Tim box set issued by Rhino Handmade. I remember people booing Tiny and his speech. I hope this information helps. Have a Happy New Year!

Best,
