Plain and simple.

You may or may not like Country Music...but Ray Stevens is a genius no matter what genre of music he may have used.

He wrote his own stuff without having to spoof on anyone else's music, which, while taking nothing away form Weird Al Yankovich, is a pretty impressive thing to do.

Oh I am definitely a fan of Weird Al. He is a genius in his own right because of his ability to come up with ' clean ', yet funny lyrics.

He is my hero..........


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

That one wasn't Ray. That was done by Sheb Wooley.

Still a funny song though.

That is a true classic.

I love doing that song at karaoke because no one else really thinks to do Ray Stevens stuff.

It's easy to get them mixed up. Add in the fact that you had Jim Stafford doing an occasional comedy type song and it can get pretty confusing.
