About "The Purple People Eater (Originally Performed by Sheb Wooley) (Instrumental Version)" by Backing Business

Sheb Wooley's novelty classic 'The Purple People Eater' gets an instrumental treatment, all jaunty horns and silly swing. The title's absurd image—a one-eyed, purple monster—is matched by the music's playful, cartoonish energy, a lighthearted romp with a mischievous grin.
