Purple People Eater

“The Purple People Eater” (Click to see Sheb Wooley performing his novelty hit and a #1 song from 1958)   Broadway FunTime Records   A kid’s record of funny songs.   Great illustration on this budget label.   One of a series of a dozen or so, all with great covers by the same artist

It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple people eater

(One-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple people eater)
