AAAAARRRRGH!!!
Sorry, my girlfriend and I had the same conversation about the Purple People Eater. In both cases, it is the (B)Eater himself who is purple, not a (B)Eater of purple persons.

Calm down, calm down, it was just a joke.
And regardless, in the case of the Beater, it may be he who is purple, but in the case of the Eater, it is those that he eats. In the song, he explicitly states that his line is "eatin' purple people, and it sure is fine".
