About Timothy

"Timothy" is a song written by Rupert Holmes and recorded by The Buoys in 1970. It presents the unnerving story of three men trapped in a collapsed mine, two of whom apparently resort to cannibalism, eating the third—the eponymous character Timothy. It 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. In Canada, the song reached #9.
