[LOVEIsDasani]

I love this song. :D

[DereksDiscourse]

he is a purple, people eater...ie...he is purple, and he eats people, he doesn't eat purple people.....just my 2 cents.



[NeurotiK137]

Tequiiilaaa!!!!

[CoconuttyPlum]

Look! Cody Simpson!

[jduck1020]

he i not purple!

[cheapcape]

looks like Oprah

[meaganshawn]

I performed this on stage in elementary school for chorus...my solo line was "he had one long horn and one big eye!"

So embarrassed -_____-

[hornymaneee]

@meaganshawn lol sounds like your describing a penis

[2seekerx]

A purple people eater is very likely purple and not blue. After all you are what you eat....

[prine35]

@2seekerx So if you drink coffee, youll turn black?

[fmxfolife257]

i have to sing this in class.

[Nickie0016]

LOVE IT!!!!!

[ResistIslamToday]

Obama is a flying purple people eater! :)

[DeutscheRossiya]

@ResistIslamToday SO TRUE!!!

[ResistIslamToday]

@DeutscheRossiya heheh i forgot i made that comment, probally drunk when i made it heheh

[freebieify]

why is the one horned one eyed purple people eater look like hes wearing a party hat and has an eye deffenciency? luv the song just not this video. not hatin on anybody cuz i know i couldnt make a better video. just my opinion

[tpgibson3156]

I loved this song when I was a kid and still do I think its cool!

[StramDrocer]

I have been reading these comments about whether the alien is purple or if he eats purple people. I hope all of you are kidding around, because if you're not, then I have a lot more to worry about than I could ever imagine. Okay, my break is over. Time to shut off my computer and look for some purple people. I'm really hungry.

[lightningthiefpercy]

I was born in 1998 and I am 13 now and I still listen to this song, I love it

[lemon12moon34]

no just the drawing song is dumb

[poolpig]

@lemon12moon34 its called fun, loosen up

[lemon12moon34]

amazing

[tessajeffrey123]

@lemon12moon34 uh u like it that a bit gay just saying :)

[TheCrazygoodman]

And to all those people out there he says "one eyed, one horned, flying, purple people eater" meaning he infact eats purple people

[TheCrazygoodman]

He cut out the very last word!!!!

[everoy65]

When my husband would take us on holiday he would sing this song to the kids they just loved it , he passed away last Dec; and in our slide show we added this song in memory of him we know he would be smiling as it was his favorite R.I.P. Roy, know we all love and miss you so very much.

[Suziq1231]

got it on 45 by sheb wolley in a sleeve whats it worth 45 bucks?

[everoy65]

This song is awesome

[bubblesina1]

97 people are surely purple. =))

[CaptianXiro]

he doesn't eat purple people even tho that line in the song... but before he sees him do anything one-eyed, one horn, flying, and purple are all adjectives... the red, hairy ball... since the adjectives are together and before the word the modify the noun.... people-eater who is one eyed, one horn, flying and purple... why would they through in an adjective to modify the people that he eats between the adjectives that discribe him and himself?

[Pentdad]

@CaptianXiro Because you're describing the 'thing'. Its like for example if I hated cats who were fat. I'd say (if singing) 'Im a white lazy fat-cat hating guy'

[CaptianXiro]

@Pentdad it still ambigues because i could preceive it as you being a

white,

lazy,

fat-cat,

hating guy lol

Why would he eat purple people if they're aren't any people people... how would the singer knows he eats purple people if he wouldn't be able to see him eat purple people sinec purple people don't exsist lol

[Pentdad]

@CaptianXiro i actually think the song writer just made a mistake, and the line 'eating purple people' just fitted into the song.

[CaptianXiro]

@Pentdad Yea, I'm startin to believe that... damn writers forcing it to rhyme instead of paying attention to see if it makes sense... 

[tflem1]

he doesnt eat purple people he's purple and he eats people, just regular people, but this one's blue

[KhaosJr]

I wonder if Queen ever did their own version of this song? The late great Freddie Mercury performed some really good renditions (mostly live in concert) of "Tutti Frutti" and "Gimme Some Lovin'"; any thoughts on that one?

[bobomajoe]

When asked it says it eats purple people...

[HCCPride]

@bobomajoe I just wonder why the people in the video aren't purple.

[DirectorDME]

@HCCPride That's why he doesn't eat them :)

[zach82649]

why is it called purple people eater if its blue i mean really

[Usurped]

I like purple short shorts

[thechosenone860]

Why is it called 'Purple people eater' if its blue......

[darthtortugas]

got to met sheb back around 88-89 kinda crazy he asked me at 16-17 to make him a screwdriver...

[mdclayton]

Your title says "Flying, Purple, People Eater". That is not the same as a "Flying, Purple People Eater". The former SHOULD BE PURPLE. The latter just eats purple people...

[wavegirl3]

This version is terrible

[sparklingbluebunnies]

1 eyed 1 horned flying purple people eater

[amzingsingerify]

I'm a one eyed one horn flying purple people eater

[dbesta02]

LOL love the chipmunk's voice

[tatay2525]

if he only eats people, y on 1:33 is he about to eat a normal skinned person?

[DirectorDME]

@tatay2525 Good catch. That's why he scares her and doesn't eat her!

[moirarush]

@tatay2525

He actually scares the person away and doesn't try to eat them

[tatay2525]

you know, i watched this video and asked myself: what is this? why am i watching it? and i really am still not sure

its still hell funny tho

[DarkKetzerisch]

Featured on TV Tropes! =D

[VashtiInez]

[cf1934]

Sheb Wooley portrayed Ben Miller in the movie "High Noon."

[brizaksmommy]

Love it. Thanks for the memories.

[HippyamongHicks]

I.....what.....I need to stop listening to this.

[CoryWhitman1220]

What the hell?

[nike60oncore]

[TDIrocks945]

[jdude666666]

[s3111]

@jdude666666

[Jadalovespoke]

[natestube24]

the purple people easter  sound like alvin from the chipmunks LOL dont think so :)

[lakotaeyes]

How come it cuts out tequila?

[DirectorDME]

@lakotaeyes because I uploaded this several years ago. After one of the big updates when youtube converted all the older videos, the last few moments got cut off. It's quite unfortunate.

[mrsdianajhnnyjr]

[LazinDumbia]

"he was a one eyed one knived wearin' purple people stabber"

[bubblesina1]

you made this in MS paint? so cool!

[bizzareoki]

OMG This is soooo cool! I just remembered this song from way back when i was a little kid!

[kimmiiis]

when i was younger used to love this song then i found out that he wasn't actually purple he just ate purple people and then i was angry as i love purple lol. the things kids think lol

[AmyWithawits]

Love this song, did a dance to it when I was like, 3! Loved it ever since!

[mrsbelcher1987]

How could someone not love this song?

[vbdreamin]

this song is amazing

[ringafiar]

Cryer* even!

[ringafiar]

Didn't Barry Cyer top the charts in Finland with a cover of this?

[windchimes098]

why's the purple people eater got on a birthday hat?

[WeLiveForParkour]

@windchimes098 its his horn lol

[HellCorrespodence]

PURPLE PURPLE PURPLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE <333333333333333 i love this fucking color :D !!!! And this song its just made for me xDD

[eatought]

[panime101]

i used to sing this song when i was in grade 3 or 4.

[MrTRICKYDIK]

@panime101 I WAS IN THE 7TH GRADE AND MY GRANMA LIKE THIS SONG... HA, HA...BACK IN RAINSBORO, OHIO...........

[lisalenorelowe]

"mr purple people eater, whats your line, he said eatin purple people and it sure is fine..."

So, although he may be purple, and I think of him as purple, he says he eats purple people.

[DaveWollenberg]

1 eye! 1 horn! Billboard's 38th #1 hit of the rock era. RIP, Sheb. God bless!

[MattGraeme]

thumbs up if monsters v.s bought you here.

[spidermanroxxes]

One eye one horn flying purple people eater sure looks strange to me I love dis song :D

[luluturd]

Remind me again why this song died out?

[MadameLil]

@luluturd Yep, that's something you only hear at Halloween now, along with Monster Mash. It breaks my heart that 70s music is now played more than 50s on the oldies stations.

[daintyWatch]

Good job ! :-)

[MrDoubtingtom]

Purple people can't fly while they're being eaten. Therefore, flying purple people eaters do not exist.

[LIKKYLICKY]

OMG, i got this from Monsters Vs Aliens, 8D

[metsnygiants]

anybody notice that the flying purple people eater blue

[dabdong]

86 people are infact purple

[DirectorDME]

@dabdong LOL

[ihavenonameeva]

@dabdong Im purrrrrple and voted "like" SO HUMPH!

[GTRaycer]

@dabdong They aren't really purple...They are a deep shade if BLUE and they're DEAD! You gotta stop hangin' out in morgues, dude! *LOL*

[dabdong]

[codgamer22700]

[missladybug7011]

omg i love this but try and learn the words to the court of king corectucus it is soooooo hard!!!!!

[iac321]

very funny its on monster vs. alien

[danjama]

Where can i get the film?

[scoobsterinc]

lol mdmorys

[CloMay]

Haha I remember my fourth class teacher in primary school loved this song so he decided to print out the lyrics and get everyone of us to sing it :L :L Ahhh the good times...:)

Cool video btw :L

[starlightsturtle]

O MY GAWD its eating purple people!!!!

[robertthehook]

it doesent eat purple people... it is purple and eats people...OMGGG

[robertthehook]

IT DOES EAT PURPLE PEOPLE... IT IS PURPLE. AND EATS NORMAL PEOPLE... OMG!!!!

[zinx43267]

when i was in preschool i thought it was peepaliter not people eater

[BeatlesStation]

82 people who have watched this video have problems. Great video, can't get enough of this song :D

[lisalenorelowe]

I made a purple people eater costume for myself for Halloween. It was purple- I figured if he ate purple people he would turn purple (like flamingos turning pink). Plus no one would get it if it wasn't purple:) I also cut out a purple person to pretend to eat.

[DirectorDME]

@lisalenorelowe Awesome :D

[videofriendyeah]

@DirectorDME cool

[JesusLovesPiano94]

@lisalenorelowe My friend did like, the exact same thing! Her English teacher even gave her a prize because she loved it (:

[KungFuTeaLeaf]

So flamingos eat pink people?

Also i hadnt realise until someone pointed that out as well that he eats PURPLE people and not that he was purple and he eats people.

But you have a point. You are what you eat! LOL

[bwjn2008]

@lisalenorelowe >.< It doesn't eat 'purple' people. It's purple and eats people.

[pod1230]

@lisalenorelowe it doesnt eat purple people. its because hes purple and he eats people. lol

[XceptingDeniall]

@pod1230 "Hey Mister purple people eater, what's you line?"

"Eating purple people and it sure is fine."

There ya go. He eats purple people.

[730Teresa730]

The best line is where the woman yell "WE WEAR SHORT SHORTS!"

[SchizoFish]

If he eats purple people, does that mean that Charlie McDonnell is done for it?

[Dragonas77]

Not trying to offend anyone, but would gay people count as purple people?

[msletshaveaparty]

imm inn chorus && wee r gonna havee a consertt for thee little kidss && we r gonna singg thiss songg lol..... wee havee funny movementss too thiss song!!!

[jadenbabe123]

memories x of holiday in the discos we danced to this :'] i miss them days

[greenapplekid11]

I heard it say in a voice so GRUFF.... (chipmunk voice) :L

[SyroDance]

QUESTION!!!! Is it the monster thats supossed to be purple or are the people supossed to be purple?

[DirectorDME]

@SyroDance Exactly. I would say that the monster indicates that he prefers to eat purple people.

[MmusicLloverr]

@DirectorDME aww...he shall starve! der is no purple peoples!

[DirectorDME]

@MmusicLloverr 'Tis a sad tale indeed :P

[helloSunshine292]

@DirectorDME no, I'm pretty sure it's the thing that's purple; not that it eats purple people. haha

[kwassagirl]

Thanks for posting DirectorDME - great video too to match! There is so much chaos in the world today it is great to escape for a few minutes. Brings back really great happy childhood memories (in Australia in the 50's).

[PieFlavorAwesome]

well i liked the song,but the guys mouth when it moved....scared me...you sorta need to fix the animation or something,anyway great vid!

[ohnekrimigehtdiemimi]

If he eats purple people, then this video is racist and should be flagged for color-ism.

I vote for the people eater himself being purple. To an Alien, our laws surely don't apply.

[bailer63601]

lol

[Hhisme]

You say that you said it wasn't necessarily purple. However, in the words at the beginning of the video you wrote "Flying, purple, people eater" which indicates that "purple" is separated from "people."

[DirectorDME]

@Hhisme Yes, I did. I am a smart-ass, and you win the observance award. :) In the four years that this video has been online, and in the ten it's been since I originally made it, no one has noticed, or at least not mentioned that to me. Which I find funny, as it is very much contrary to my opinion on the monster himself.

[Hhisme]

@DirectorDME Yeah, as much as I like the fact that he eats purple people, I can never help pointing out mistakes. I was actually kind of disappointed to find that darn little comma but I just had to say something about it.

[blunklaura]

I heard this for the first time back when I was 3...my dad had the record..and we'd all go into the living room and dance like mad to it...now I play it for my son and my husand and my son and I gather in our livingroom to dance to it !

[HippoCollector86]

Quite true, I always just assumed he was purple...kind of the way everyone just assumes Humpty Dumpty is an egg :P Love the video :)

[xXdwebbXx]

erm, hes blue lol

[Excalion88]

With your logic this monster would eat one eyed, one horned flying purple people.

[Hhisme]

@Excalion88 No, because it could be a One Eyed, One Horned, Flying, Purple People Eater.

[ZGrrrl8]

this song is awesome

[ZGrrrl8]

awesome

[CR055H41RZ]

please keep your paint drawings to yourself

[alexisrg7]

cute

[sugarpopgirl22]

i eat alot of carrots

[XMrsMarshmallowX]

his horn looks like a party hat

[pilsnerman33]

@MDKMRMATT if you could play rock and roll music from the horn on your head then you wouldnt have regular skin pigment so it could be whatever colour it wanted to be.

[captainfranklin112]

this is the version I grew up with! I've been looking all over for it and can't find it (my records were sold in a garage sale). Where did you get this one and what version is it? Is this Sheb Wooley too?

[TheMEKANIZUMU]

This song is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[xjessjustify]

there is a toy that signs this song and every time a bby sit this is all i hear. drives me nuts.

[joshwelljonesfirst]

Found this freek'y record' in my dad's old record collection. Love It''''

[Hhisme]

@joshwelljonesfirst i think you need to give the apostrophe key a break.

[twittlebug1]

this is disturbing lol

[MrSplubbers]

I'm assuming you've never seen the Sheb Wooley artwork for this song, because the One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater is actually purple. And in the movie based off of the song it is also purple.

[emmafalk]

Duuuuuude I used to listen to this in preschool!!!!!!!!!! Hahahah what a fucked up song hahahah

[15jtbball]

He's purple and eats purple people

[HasYourLife]

Epicness.

[SuperBabycakes2]

This Video is OK but its not that FUNNY!!!!
