Download with Lead    This song was recorded by Sheb Wooley (under duress) in 1958 and soared to the top of the charts. It’s about the silliest piece ever, even for what is termed a “novelty song”. It’s about a Purple People Eater who descends to earth to join a rock’n’roll band.  He has one eye, one horn, and flies.  But he won’t eat Sheb cause “he’s too tough”.  Told you it was silly! Actually, the creature wasn’t purple – he only ate purple people – but this confusion made the song even more popular. They were hurtin’ for entertainment in the late 50’s.
Anyway, it makes for a good Halloween song. Go to the home page and download it from the Halloween list without the lead and sing it yourself.
