At a rough guess about 45 years ago. Does anyone remember who sang this rather irritating song that pops into my OAP head?

It's not "fine".....it's flying purple people eater.
Yes, I remember it. Not all the words, but I do remember it.
Thanks, though. It's now stuck in MY head.
I looked up the lyrics, just for you.
ARTIST: Sheb Wooley
TITLE: The Purple People Eater
The One-Eyed One-Horned Flying Purple People Eater
Well I saw the thing coming out of the sky
It had one long horn and one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said oo-wee
It looks like a purple people eater to me
It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
Sure looks good to me
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 'cos you're too tough
It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
It sure looks strange to me
I said mr Purple People Eater what's your line
He said eating 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 'n roll band
Well, bless my soul rock 'n roll flying' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed under-growed flyin' purple people eater
one-eyed one-horned it was a people eater
What a sight to see
Well, 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 swinging tune
Wop bop a lula wop bam boom
one-eyes one-horned flying people eater
Ooh, it sure looks strange to me
Well he went on his way and then what do you know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was a blowin' it out and really knockin' them dead
Playing rock 'n roll music through the horn in his head

One-eyed, one-horned FLYING purple people eater! Classic by Sheb Wooley in the late 1950's :-)

"The Purple People Eater" was a novelty song, written and performed by Sheb Wooley, that reached 1 in the Billboard pop charts in 1958.
Curtesy of someone elses brain.

The CD you want is Rockin' and a rollin' by Sha Na Na.
My copy says that the song was written by Sheb Wooley.(He probably also wrote Woolley Bully ). He also sang it.
