Dorothy and the spiteful witch Once upon a time, in the magical land of Oz, there lived a young girl named Dorothy. Dorothy lived with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry on a small farm in Kansas. One day, a tornado swept through their town, and Dorothy and her little dog Toto were whisked away to the enchanted land of Oz. As Dorothy and Toto landed in a strange and colorful world, they were greeted by Glinda the Good Witch. Glinda explained that Dorothy's house had landed on the Wicked Witch of the East, killing her and freeing the Munchkins from her tyranny. The Munchkins were overjoyed and hailed Dorothy as their hero.
You’d have to be Scrooge to trash a picture that tries to instill in children the importance of imagination, determination and appreciation of the elderly. At the same time “Purple People Eater” can’t safely be recommended to anyone over the age of 7, but it could conceivably be fun for second-graders or those younger.

Wooley passed away in 2003, but he left behind a legacy of great western films, interesting music, and more than a few delightful country song parodies performed under the name Ben Colder.
The Munchkins were overjoyed and hailed Dorothy as their hero. But little did Dorothy know, the Wicked Witch of the West, who was the sister of the deceased witch, was filled with spite and anger towards her. The Wicked Witch of the West, known for her green skin and long black robes, vowed to seek revenge on Dorothy for the death of her sister.
The Purple People Eater Meets the Witch Doctor
In the 1999 liner notes to the Joe South Anthology written by Bernie Howitt it is stated that "The Purple People Eater Meets the Witch Doctor" was "a local hit in Atlanta" by the 18 year old Joe South with his first record ever on d.j. Bill Lowery's NRC label. The song was originally released by The Big Bopper and co-written by him. It's an unauthorized sequel of sorts to David Seville and The Chipmunks' April 1958 #1 hit "Witch Doctor" and Rawhide TV star Sheb Wooley's June 1958 #1 tune "The Purple People Eater", which itself owed much to Seville. The two minutes and thirty nine seconds of Joe South's cover of Big Bopper's parody of Sheb Wooley and David Seville do include "Chipmunk" vocals while the production is not as "advanced", if you will, as on Big Bopper's rendition. Richardson has the characters from other people's songs behaving as Bobby "Boris" Pickett did with the famous Universal creatures in his "Monster Mash", giving these entities something else to do other than scare people and that is - to rock & roll. In the case of "Purple People Eater Meets The Witch Doctor" the Dr. and the monster are in a 2 piece band, Witch Doctor on guitar, Purple People Eater playing the horn. It's all very silly, not only that Sheb Wooley would have Purple People Eater interact with Santa Claus in one of his sequels, but that the fad was so in that Big Bopper would jump into the fray and that future guitarist for Simon And Garfunkel andBob Dylan, Joe South, would begin his recording career by covering it. It's not as bad as it sounds on paper, and is somewhat amusing. Historically important because of the great sound Joe South eventually got for Billy Joe Royal and others as a record producer and songwriter.
