Thanks again to for providing us with several awesome crafting supplies that we could use with this project. If you made a Purple People Eater, what would yours look like? notice mine is just floating in the air 🙂 He can fly. talking about the body parts that the Purple People Eater needed- antennae and legs were a must for my little guy. exercising our finger muscles by punching and snipping and pulling(tape) talking about the different sizes of googly eyes and the different sized glue dots we need to make to fit each googly eye touching the fuzzy sticks and describing how they felt describing our monster's teeth (my little guy said his looked like silly legs) talking about and counting how many eyes we were putting onto our monsters Display or run around the house dancing and singing Purple People Eater with your monster. Add a mouth with some chompers! The Purple People Eater can't eat any people if he doesn't have a mouth!ġ0. since I don't have luck with glue and pipe cleaners lately.ĩ. I haven’t been able to find anything more specific about. Apparently, it is a Zendrive with some values taken from the Eternity OD. It’s a low gain version of Lovepedal’s Hermida Audio reissue. Hard to find info on it - most of what I’ve found comes TGP. We taped them on and hid the tape under the monster. Got a good deal on this one from the local classifieds. Add some fuzzy stick legs and antennae if you wish. Add some googly eyes! We didn't set a limit and just kept gluing them on!Ĩ. Use glue to add your punches onto your monster.ħ. While paint is drying, punch some colored paper.Ħ. Let the paint dry and then pull off the tape.ĥ. but the lines totally remind me of that.Ĥ. Don't ask me why it ended up looking like the Union Jack. Materials Needed: Pencil, colored paper, glue, scissors, hole puncher, ultimate fuzzy kit (or pipe cleaners and googly eyes), painter's tape, and do-a-dot markers.Ģ. since I'm trying to get my little guy to strengthen his finger muscles! Skills I wanted to embed in the activity included punching with a hole punch and snipping with scissors. Purple People Eater is the one that gets stuck in my head the most.
Even my little 10 month old loves to clap along to the music. That same year, the Big Bopper combined Seville’s and Wooley’s characters in the song “Purple People Eater Meets the Witch Doctor,” which was the B-side of his signature single “Chantilly Lace.We've been singing Halloween songs in our car since the last week of September. Under his stage name David Seville, songwriter Ross Bagdasarian first used this technique on his 1958 novelty hit “Witch Doctor,” which spawned the virtual band Alvin and the Chipmunks. Wooley made “The Purple People Eater”’s alien voice and saxophone solo (played through a horn in his head!) squeaky and high-pitched by recording a normal voice and sax solo and later speeding up the tape. And the one that took off had nothing to do with six-guns and spurs it was “The Purple People Eater,” which skewered the musical crazes of the time by envisaging a grotesque space invader taking the bait. (In 1953, he appeared as Private Wilhelm, a character who gets shot with an arrow and emits the scream in 1953’s The Charge at Feather River.)Īmid all his onscreen work, Wooley never stopped writing songs. The classic “Wilhelm scream” – the immortal “Aaaagh!” used in films from Star Wars to Indiana Jones to The Lord of the Rings – is believed to be Wooley.
#Who played sax on purple people eater series
He appeared in Western films like 1950’s Rocky Mountain and 1952’s High Noon and TV series like The Lone Ranger.
Here’s where it came from.įrom his 1946 recorded debut “Oklahoma Honky-Tonky Gal” up to “The Purple People Eater,” the public primarily knew Wooley for his cowboy songs and hillbilly tunes. That year produced a slew of foundational rock hits, like the Royal Teens’ “Short Shorts” and the Champs’ “Tequila.” Over an irresistible boogie-woogie rhythm, the extraterrestrial squeaks references to those two hits – “I like short shorts!” “Tequila!” – as well as the immortal gobbledygook from Little Richard’s 1955 barnstormer “Tutti Frutti.”Ībove all, “The Purple People Eater’s” purpose is to make bodies move and tickle funny bones.
And it’s safe to say that in 1958, that was a fairly common desire. Well, we know one thing the Purple People Eater wants – to rock ‘n roll. The creature has “one long horn, one big eye.” He’s “pigeon-toed, undergrowed.” But when the narrator frets, “Looks like a purple people eater to me!” It begs the questions: To what other purple people eaters can he compare him? Does Wooley’s clarification that he eats purple people – that he’s not necessarily purple himself – mean we’re all off the hook? In 1958, Sheb Wooley unleashed “The Purple People Eater” from his imagination into the airwaves. Wooley composed the song in an hour, hyped the People Eaters voice in currently approved fashion he achieved the toy saxophone sound of the People Eaters.
