The story of a colorblind, invisible purple boy and all of his visible friends.

This is an album that the whole family can enjoy. 15 mostly fun and funny songs in all kinds of styles, alternate with bits of narration to spin the tale.

Purple Burt was born purple but became invisible and colorblind accidentally by jumping his magical hope rope with a bit too much hope. His best friend is a really old and grouchy snapping turtle named Kurt. Do-Re-Mimi, his beautiful girlfriend with a singing voice to match, and his father Purple Albert, have both gone away. Purple Herbert, his brother, spends all of his time slurping and burping from all the herbal sherburt he eats. In order to stay alert, Purple Burt has to eat a big handful of purple dirt every day. But despite all of these things, Purple Burt still manages to have fun and be happy.

Join him as he daydreams about skiing on Pluto . . . Come along as he and Kurt visit the kooky new scientist in the neighborhood named Dr. Fritz von Nozzle . . . Laugh as he is forced to try on all kinds of weird clothes thanks to Chazz, the salesman at the only clothing store for 500 miles . . . Sing along as he attempts to undo everything that is wrong by jumping his amazing hope rope one more time.

Featuring guest stars Andy Partridge, R. Stevie Moore, Krys O., Dave Gregory and Anne D. Bernstein!
