Answer 1

ok..the way it goes in the song, he is a one eyed, one horned flying purple people eater..but it turns out he just wants to get a job in a rock and roll band playing his horn lol.

Here are the lyrics:
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 people 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' puple people eater
Sure looks stange to me.

Well he came down to earth and 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.

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, flying purple
people eater. Pidgeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin'
purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple people eater
what a sight to see.

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 aboop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom

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
What a sight to see

And then he went on his way, and then what do
you 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 (clarinet solo) ( Tequila)

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.

Answer 2

Ah yes, I'm old enough to remember this. It was from an old nonsense song, and the "one eyed, one horned, flying, purple" part describes the creature, and the "people eater" part tells you what it EATS! And, by the way, it can play a tune on the horn sticking out of it's head! Hope that helps!!!

Answer 3

The purple people eater in the song pretty clearly flies, has one horn and one eye, and only eats purple people, which is how he's able to play in a rock band (with presumably non-purple people.)
The purple people eater may or may not be purple himself -- there isn't really enough information.

On the other hand, you didn't specifically reference the song, so I don't know if you're referring to the one in the song or the one you saw last night coming out of a bar. If it's the latter, you're on your own....

Answer 4

Seems pretty self explanatory to me. He is a one eyed, one horned flying purple people eater. Everything describes him. Of course, I am only barely familiar with the song, so, don't take my word for it. But if I remember correctly the lyrics go "He was a one eyed, one horned flying purple people eater"

Edit--OK, I was wrong!

Answer 5

It was a hit record back in the late fifties when I was a kid.
I remember they even sold plastic hats,purple w/a big eye on the front,and a picture of a horn on top..........

Answer 6

are you a purple person?! the purple people eater is not just a bedtime story! he has one eye, one horn, wings, and he eats purple people! Stay indoors!!! lock your windows!and whatever you do, DONT GET EATEN!!!!

Answer 7

Well, its one eyed, its got one horn, it flies, its purple, it eats people...

Answer 8

FOR ONE THING ITS A ONE EARED ONE EYED FLYING PURPEL PEOPLE EATER SURE LOKKED STRANGE TO ME IT IS AN ALIEN THAT HUNTS THROUGH THE UNIVESEARCHING FOR PURPLE PEOPLE THAT ONCE LIVED ON A PURPLE PLANET CALLED PURPULA..

Answer 9

I think that song was about, Jim Marshall, of the VIKINGS. He was a purple people eater.

Answer 10

Yes! Any and all the above!

Come on... it's a silly song! Did you expect a serious answer?
