Description
"Purple People Eater" is a novelty song, written and performed by Sheb Wooley, that reached #1 in the Billboard pop charts in 1958. " Purple People Eater" tells how a strange creature descends to Earth because it wants to be in a rock 'n' roll band. The premise of the song came from a joke told by the child of a friend of Wooley's
I remember this song capturing my attention as a very young child and when working this abstract it popped back into my head... strange what we remember sometimes. Can you find the "Purple People Eater" in this work?
