    Story Behind the Song
    All right now, THIS is a song. Jay wrote this song while he was at college, and he brought it back to the rest of the band when they all reunited over Winter Break '95. They immediately fell in love with it. The song is a musical and lyrical masterpiece, thanks to Jay, Murphy, and Ben... but the only part of the song that really gets any credit is Puterbaugh's now-famous "DING!" in the middle of the chorus. This song has become The Gravity's staple song, and they close almost every show with it. The fans have the most fun with this one, too, especially since Ben invented the "storytime" version, in which everyone sits down around him during the verses, and then they all get up and dance during the chorus. The ironic thing about this song, is that Jay spoke of a purple-haired girl... and Murphy's roommate at college, C.J., had been obsessed with a purple-haired girl for quite some time. Hence, the title.

    Lyrics
    Ive been wandering, looking for a girl
    Who has a shadow with purple hair.
    I cannot find her, wandering round the world,
    But I know that she is out there.
    When I find her, Ill bring her home to you
    So you can play with her purple hair.
    Well all sit around, making fun of you,
    And you will fall into despair...

    CHORUS
    But I know the way you come across me slowly.
    I know that you are really not out there.
    I know the way that you eat your baloney.
    And I-I-I-I-I-I just dont care!

    And now were married, with eighteen little kids.
    Each one of them is just a freak.
    They all want Mr. Potatohead for Christmas,
    And I cant get no sleep.
    All these children running round the house
    Breaking things and making lots of noise.
    Theyve already killed a wombat and a mouse.
    All those raucous girls and boys...

    CHORUS

    [skat chorus]

    Id been wandering, looking for a girl.
    Who has a shadow with purple hair.
    I cannot find her wandering round the world,
    So Ill have to go look elsewhere.
    If I find her, Ill bring her home to you,
    But I wouldnt hold my breath.
    Ill still sit around making fun of you
    Every day until your death...

    CHORUS (3x)
