Well, I know it as one eyed, three horned, flying purple people eater.  Either way, the Great Question remains: a purple monster who eats people or a monster who eats purple people?

I heard it as "one eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater".  Looks like a trip to the Archive of Misheard Lyrics is in order.

Methinks you're getting it mixed up with the Book of Revelations, with the seven-horned beast.

You're both wrong.


It's four-horned. Sounds better that way anyway.

Egad!  The mystery, it has been solved!  'Tis a monster who eats purple people!

But now a greater mystery arises...

Where does the Purple People Eater find purple people to eat?

(When I was a wee lad of only 4, my parents told me that in the province of Quebec the people were purple.   But I've been to Quebec many a time since then, and never a once have I seen a purple person there.  The New Great Mystery of the Location of the Purple People™ remains unsolved...)
