@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!
