Songs with Color

[Pomai]

O.K., we've already covered songs about food, so how about those with color? The list for this one should be much longer.

• Purple Rain - Prince
• Little Red Corvette - Prince
• Red Red Wine - UB40
• Blue Darling - Tony Lindsey (a relative of mine), Kapena
• Blue Bayou - Linda Ronstadt
• Flying in a Blue Dream - Joe Satriani (one of my favorite guitar songs of all time!)
• Black Velvet - Alannah Myles
• Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath (there's no "Black Sabbath" in the lyrics though)
• The Green Manalishi (with the two-pronged crown) - Fleetwood Mac, Judas Priest

That reminded me of Red Skies by The Fixx. I love that "so-80's" song! (Tikiyaki's gonna' kill me).

It's Not Easy Being Green - Kermit the Frog

Sheesh, you beat me by two minutes! That was the very first song I thought of.
And I'm surprised nobody's said "Brown-Eyed Girl" yet...
