A longtime star of the Grand Ole Opry, Little Jimmy Dickens specialized in uptempo novelty material, and made a lot of hay with his diminutive stature (he was 4'11") which was frequently the butt of many good-natured jokes and on-stage schtick that nowadays might be seen as distasteful. Another big part of his public image was his love of flashy, rhinestone-studded Nudie suits, and his manic personality... Dickens recorded prolifically, although he wasn't actually a big success on the charts. His biggest hit was the chart-topping novelty tune, "May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose," which hit #1 in 1965, nearly two decades after he'd first become a recording artist.
