lmao! idk but this song popped in my head and got me thinking

look at the lyrics im such a square i come up with craziest stuff sometimes



Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had the one long horn, one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee"
It looks like a purple eater to me

It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
(One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater)
A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (One eye?)

Well he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
I said Mr. Purple People Eater, don't eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough

It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (One horn?)

I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line
He said it's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine
But that's not the reason that I came to land
I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band

Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
(We wear short shorts)
Flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me

And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
He started to rock, really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune
Sing a boop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom

Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
I like short shorts
Flyin' little people eater
Sure looks strange to me (Purple People?)

And then he went on his way, and then what do ya know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was blowing it out, a'really knockin' em dead
Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head

Perfect, the year Prince was born. So it's like a prophetic tribute or something.

fms said:

Even better? It was number one on the Billboard charts THE DAY PRINCE WAS BORN.

Cool, huh?

he eats people - like a black hole or something?

Lets see, purple people eater, and we are the purple people.... so.... omg, the jw thing is a front to get inside your door with a copy of the watch tower, scan you with his one bionic purple people scanning eye, identify you as a purple people, and EAT you!

I know there are some dirty minds on here that are going in the wrong direction with the eat you line.

he eats people meaning he ate you up with the music

where i come from we say things like "eat a bish up!" which means going hard on something and/or someone or coming/approaching with intensity

^ its just a fun post... jeez-la-weeze

take it easy baby

I'd like to think that he was inspired by the band America's song Ventura Highway.
released in 1972 BTW


Chewing on a piece of grass walking down the road
tell me, how long you gonna stay here Joe?
Some people say this town don't look good in snow
You don't care, I know.


Ventura Highway, in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go I know


Cause the free wind is blowing through your hair
and the day surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air


Wishing on a falling star
Watching for the early train
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain
Aw, come on Joe, you can always change your name
Thanks a lot son, just the same


Ventura Highway, in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine!
you're gonna go, I know


Cause the free wind is blowing through your hair
and the days surround your daylight there
seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air
in the air
