Wooley's previous record, \"The Purple People Eater\" is one of those successes that can become an aozatross... I don't think he wanted to known as a novelty act, but that's what everyone expected.  He was also a country singer at heart, but it was several years before the reserved Nashville folks forgave him for indulging in that teenage rock'n'roll drivel about purple men from space... though he did eventually have a successful country career.  And he figured out that if you wanted to indulge in silliness now and then, you should segregate that personality.
