It was called a pink + purple people eater.
It was pink + purple, and it ate people
i've got a purple dinosaur which i've always called the purple people eater, i had no idea why tho, now i know!
Yes I can remember it , you had to pick people out of it's mouth with a tweezer and it made an awful noise.
It was a hit song for Sheb Wooey in the 1950s :

It was a one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me. (one horn?)

In the 70s there were plastic figurines of the purple people eater and a game - you had to save little people from the mouth of the purple people eater.
Also 'The Big Bopper', I have this record, and 'The Purple People Eater meets the Witch Doctor', both on '78' rpm.

Just boasting.
