The Flying Purple People Eater

Original song recorded by Sheb Wooley in June of 1958.

And to answer all the comments about him being blue. When the singer asks him, "What's your line" he replies, "Eatin purple people, and it sure is fine". Which tells us that he eats purple people, not that he is purple himself. Which means I could have picked any color I wanted for him. I picked blue.

I never pictured him purple, & I think it's perfect! Nice work! Thanks for posting!

[David Estes]

Thank you!

So why'd you put a comma between the words "purple" and "people" at the beginning?

That was the first record I ever bought - in 1958 ( more than a few thousand since then...)

I like The Muppets. But what about CTW? They had a purple person on Sesame Street. He was called The Count. He was a vampire who was addicted to numbers. They also had Mumford (a magician), Biff (a carpenter), Forgetful Jones (a cowboy) and Dr. Price (a scientist).
