...There was sake, of course," reported the disgruntled American tourist in Tokyo last week, "but the girls seemed most interested in plying us with highballs. 'Let's dance!' one of them said, stubbing out her cigarette, and we all cha-chaed to a hi-fi phonograph. When we finished eating, another girl with a horse's laugh, said, 'Let's play baseball.' So we all got up and pretended to be hitting, catching and running: the object of the game was to bump rumps. Later the girls offered to dance for us. They...
...Rome the bongo drums throbbed unnecessarily. Tuxedos dropped to the floor in homage. Blue-blooded Borgheses and warm-blooded entertainers stamped their feet, but hardly to get circulation going.

Jimmy sometimes wheezes now, but his talent for reading a message of ageless evil into the simplest of lyrics-"Sometimes I think I will/Then again I think I won't" -is as strong as it ever...
...purple-and-silver train that comes through the town from West Coast Champion to The Purple People Eater. Record manufacturers are cranking out imitative disks as fast as they can make them, including Wooley's own sequel, Purple People Eater Plays Earth Music, Cuban Purple People Eater (in cha cha cha rhythm), The Purple People Eater Meets the Witch Doctor, Polka-Dotted Poliwampus (about a creature that eats Purple People Eaters) and Purple Herring Fresser (a Yiddish version). Disk jockeys all over the country have invited their listeners to draw the Purple People Eater (both the jockeys and listeners...
