He was a killer talent, Stilly. Amazing, really. "Tiptoe" was what is called in the business a "novelty song", like "One-eyed One-horned Flying Purple People Eater" or "Winchester Cathedral" or "Itsy-Bitsy, Teeny Weeny, Yellow Polkadot Bikini" or "Monster Mash". Novelty songs are great for getting people's attention and getting lots of airplay.
