Shown on the children's TV programme, Tiswas, on 11th October 1980.

A Russ Abbot reworking of Sheb Wooley's 1958 hit single "Purple People Eater" for the Space Invaders generation. He's using his comedy persona of Teddy Boy, Vince Prince. And yes, that's Asteroids not Space Invaders.

Spot the Splogenessabounds punk classic reference.
