I got about seven hours of sleep, but stayed in bed for a bit. I think it was something about Christmas. I have no idea what the HELL I’m talking about. Both songs came out in 1958 (within two months of each other) and shockingly both were number one on the Billboard chart. Wooley also appears in a classic motion picture? Well, he does – High Noon. The Purple People Eater was written and sung by Sheb Wooley. Bagdasarian also appears in a classic motion picture? Well, he does – he’s the composer trying to write a tune whilst James Stewart is discovering more sinister things in Rear Window. Saville would later use a device used in Witch Doctor – a sped up voice – to create Alvin and the Chipmunks. Witch Doctor was by David Seville (really Ross Bagdasarian) – Mr. I may have to devote an entire Kritzerland show to the songs of the 1950s, just so I can showcase the best of the best. I wonder why no one but the gazelle has covered these two brilliant songs.

Well, dear readers, Christmas 2015 is over and done with and I’m sure in about three days it will be Christmas 2016 – that’s how fast these years are flying by, like a gazelle singing a put-together of Witch Doctor and The Purple People Eater in G.
