Colors of The Rainbow

S

Silkie

How many songs can you think of with a color or colors in their title and/or the lyrics, and/or the artists' names?

Examples:

My Blue Heaven - Fats Domino
Yellow Balloon - Yellow Balloon (okay, it goes without saying this is a fav of mine)

The Song, "She's A Rainbow", by The Rolling Stones, does not contain a color in the title, but the lyrics are loaded with color. "Have you seen her dressed in blue? See the sky in front of you...."

Green Eyed Lady--Sugarloaf

Any song in the Top 40 with the color orange in the title? If so, let me know....

Orange Crush - R.E.M.

If Tangerine counts, "Hello Hello", by Sopwith Camel contains tangerine in the lyrics; Tangerine is the title of a Led Zepplin song, which also contains tangerine in the lyrics - as well as grey.
 
Love is Blue by Paul Muriat (sp?).

It did not make the Top 40 or the 100, it's listed as a CLS from 1988 in "Top Pop Singles".

Songs categorized as CLS, are classics by artists that did not chart on the Hot 100.

Actually, I think Iowan was asking the question, but as happens from time to time his question wound up in a quotations box.

But thanks for the info anyway.

Yellow Submarine - The Beatles

Well there was Jelly Jungle of Orange Marmalade - Lemonpipers (#51 in 1968)
Didn't make the top 40, but this one got closer than the other 2.

The Lemon Pipers had "Green Tambourine," but since it was green, shouldn't their name have been the Lime Pipers? ;D
