Schtick. Gimmick. Hook. Jack Benny's was being a cheapskate. Rodney Dangerfield's was "I don't get no respect." Tiny Tim's?

A FALSETTO VOICE.

Herbert Buckingham Khaury born April 12, 1932 and died November 30, 1996 at the age of 64 of a heart attack during a performance.

The song "Tiptoe through the tulips" was written in 1929. Somewhere along the line in his career Herb chose it to display his unique schtick.

Does everyone have a schtick gimmick hook? Something singular that makes him/her stand out from the crowd?
