The 1971 song "Timothy" was performed by the Bouys, and was written by Rupert Holmes. (Holmes played piano on the recording.) It was Rupert Holmes who also wrote and performed "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" from 1979, and you might recall that number.

It has been suggested this tune "slipped under the radar" and made it into circulation and onto the charts before anyone in the record industry's upper management actually found out that the song suggested cannibalism. A link can be found below for more information. If you're curious, why not dig into things by reading through the lyrics and deciding for yourself what they say?
