@reinodeboer Whee, Purple People Eater is from my birth year. I'm not even looking at the rest.

@irina That's two years later 😎

Never heard it before (I think), but I love it 🎶 (On my playlist for today.)

Any particular reason for choosing the Purple People Eater ?

My personal favorite of that year (and one of my all-time favrotes, for that matter) is

Cannonball Adderly – Autumn Leaves

@reinodeboer I love the idea of a purple people eater (and thought for YEARS that *it* was purple, not the people it ate).
@irina @reinodeboer Wacht, wat? It is niet paars maar de people zijn paars? 😱
@HeyLaiverd @reinodeboer "I said, "Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line?"
He said, "It's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine."
@irina @HeyLaiverd @reinodeboer Gasp! I used to listen to that song as a kid (it was on an album of novelty songs I made my mom order from a TV ad) and I *never* noticed that the People Eater wasn't the one who was purple!
@irina @reinodeboer niet..? Ik heb nog een paar van mijn kindertekeningen bewaard van de purple people eater, paars natuurlijk :D
@suzanneterhuurne @reinodeboer Misschien was hij zelf ook wel paars maar dat vermeldt de historie niet, alleen dat hij paarse mensen kwam eten. Geen wonder dat er tegenwoordig zo weinig paarse mensen zijn!
