Flying Purple People Eater
We were just listening to a CD of miscellaneous space-related songs that I got from the library. Alex REALLY got a kick out of Purple People Eater. We've heard it about 10 times in the last half hour. The voice of the PPE and what he says cracks him up the most. I think your memory needs to be refreshed, so check out this high-tech video of the old-school song on YouTube :-) I have so many comments I could make about the graphics and animation, but I'll refrain. Really though, don't you think the thing on top of his head looks more like a crooked party hat than a horn???!!! Oh, AND the line throughout the song, "We wear short shorts," huh??? Did Nair steal that line from this song????
While searching for the original version of PPE, I came across this funky version that I didn't even know existed. You're welcome!
Oh, and I just read through a few of the comments on YouTube from that video and they're cracking me up! People just going on and on about how they didn't know Simon could sing like that and how he needs more lead parts. People comparing the three of them...it's a little disturbing. 1--The fact that people think about and discuss this...they take the time to comment and they really know their A&C stuff. And 2--Am I the only one that canNOT tell their singing apart on this song anyway (as if I listen to many of their songs)? hahaha. Seriously, I cannot tell a difference nor do I care to hear the distinction actually.
Bow chicka wow wow
