Hear The Rainbow

Because you can't "taste the rainbow" through your computer screen, I've decided to provide a great list of color-based songs.  Colors are used pretty frequently in song titles so finding a great song with the major colors wasn't very difficult.  Orange on the other hand...

 In ROYGBIV order:

"99 Red Balloons", Goldfinger -

Sorry to all of you Nena fans out there, I like Goldfinger's cover better than the original.

"Color Orange orange song", The Frog Street Press -

If you actually watched that one, I feel bad.  Sorry, but it will be stuck in your head all day.  What's really scary is that The Frog Street Press made a video like, "Color Orange orange song" for each color.  But you're in luck, for I am a merciful blogger (and I think we all know how to spell our colors by now).

"Yellow Sun", The Raconteurs -

One of Jack White's many bands.  I think he could join a mariachi band and sell out arenas instantly.

"Greenshirt", Elvis Costello -

I'm definitely naming my future son Elvis.  But only if he becomes a famous front man.

"Mr Blue Sky", ELO -

ELO's fans have been petitioning to get them into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.  If ABBA is in the Hall of Fame, I certainly think ELO should be.

Sorry to disappoint you, but Indigo and Violet don't have any great songs of their own.  Unless you want to listen to Hole or Coldplay, go for it.

Now for another song for my largest reader demographic, kindergartners:
