Timothy (song)
"Timothy" is a song written by Rupert Holmes and recorded by the Buoys in 1970, presenting the unnerving story of three men trapped in a collapsed mine, two of whom apparently resort to cannibalism against the third (the eponymous character Timothy). The song managed to reach the U.S. ''Billboard'' Top 40 chart on April 17, 1971, remaining on the chart for eight weeks, peaking at # 17, as listed in ''The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits'' by Joel Whitburn. On the U.S. ''Cash Box'' Top 100, it spent two weeks at # 13.〔http://50.6.195.142/archives/70s_files/19710515.html〕 In Canada, the song reached # 9.〔http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/films-videos-sound-recordings/rpm/Pages/image.aspx?Image=nlc008388.5192&URLjpg=http%3a%2f%2fwww.collectionscanada.gc.ca%2fobj%2f028020%2ff4%2fnlc008388.5192.gif&Ecopy=nlc008388.5192〕
==Origin==
According to his own account, Holmes and a colleague had discovered the Buoys and convinced Scepter Records to sign them to a one-single contract. Since the deal did not call for the label to promote the single, the band would have to find some other way to get themselves and their song noticed. Holmes suggested a novel solution to this problem: to purposefully record a song likely to be banned, thus generating publicity for the Buoys under the time-honored axiom that "there's no such thing as bad publicity".〔http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=2005〕
