The Purple People Eater" is a song written and performed by Sheb Wooley, which is the novelty song to end all novelty songs. It's one of the few rare cases where a pure novelty made it to on the charts, for one thing. It's also unusually long-lived, popping up again and again in cartoons, TV commercials, YouTube videos, and film soundtracks. The song is notable for a confused impression people tend to get from it, which may be intentional. The same technique used to make the high voices (speeding up the recording - especially successful for The Chipmunks), is also used to produce the tinny sounding saxophone solo at the end. The song shouts out to current novelty hits of the time, such as The Royal Teens' "Short Shorts" and The Champs' "Tequila.
