And maybe that’s what makes this little cyber-universe we’ve all created so special, where we come together in our mutual love of vintage and unabashedly celebrate our oddities. Perhaps my ‘one horn’ is my shocking ability to road rage (while not missing a single note in the broadway musical du jour) and your ‘one eye’ is your indescribable love of body art, but either way, they make us who we are. So, like the classic song, I’m channeling my inner Purple People Eater today in this GreaterGoodsVintage dress, letting my freak flag fly in all of my one-eyed, one-horned, flying glory. Feeling like a one-eyed outcast at times, but still having the courage to forge ahead to chase whatever makes our heart sing, however far away those dreams may seem. Turning our nose up at the guy who told us we could never make it with just one horn. Distilled down to a single word or put into a single category, but hoping for the day when someone sees our true colors, because a single label can never really cover the true essence of our quirk. I feel like, one way or another, we’re all Purple People Eaters. In my head I always imagined a rather cute, fuzzy purple creature who was somehow misunderstood, just trying to follow his dreams, who happened to have particular dietary restrictions. Maybe I simply will always identify with the underdog… And from the moment I pulled out this vintage plaid dress from my wardrobe this morning, I’ve had that song dancing between my ears ever since. Whenever Sheb Wooley started those first few familiar words, I couldn’t keep from bouncing around my living room. Now, I was never clear whether he was purple and ate people, or if he selectively chomped purple people exclusively, but it was a rather cheerful song despite the supposed grape-tinted carnage. It basically sings the tale of a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater who has a grand plan to come to earth and start a rock & roll band (go with me here – it all made sense a the time).

Warning: What follows is filled with spoilers for Nope, so make sure you've seen the movie before continuing on.There was this rather whacky song I loved when I was a kid – “ The Purple People Eater” – which was really popular in the late 50’s. Here are 10 Easter eggs and references you might have missed in Jordan Peele's Nope. It's also a movie packed with references, Easter eggs, and nods to not only the message Peele is trying to slowly unravel throughout the film, but to his other work, as well. There's a lot going on, and it's the sort of movie that would benefit from a rewatch. But it is also a monster movie, a piece of historical fiction, a revisionist Western, and a commentary on Hollywood exploitation–and arguably exploitation of workers as a whole. Put simply, Nope is an alien invasion film. It's slower paced, and the narrative deliberately meanders a bit. But unlike Peele's previous films, there's not really a massive plot twist.
Nope still had a great opening ($44 million in its opening weekend).
But his third film Nope, currently in theaters, is more divisive than either of those. His follow-up, Us (2019), also received wide critical acclaim. His debut, Get Out, netted him an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Jordan Peele is one of a shrinking group of filmmakers who can sell tickets off his name alone-not by directing or writing comedy, which is how he originally got mainstream attention, but by directing horror films. Purple Rain Prince Would any ranking of the best songs with purple in the title be complete without Prince’s iconic Purple Rain Prince sings a beautiful song about wanting happiness and laughter from a friend whose relationship with him has just ended.
