Encore - Two Colors

[Katya]

"Gold and silver decorations on every Christmas tree"

"Silver and gold" from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (I think. It's from one of those stop-motion animated Christmas movies.)

This song is in my head! But I couldn't get the words right so I am glad you did it instead. And you're pretty sure it's "gold and silver decorations" and not silver and gold? *too lazy to look*

Right now I've got all sorts of half-snatched phrases from songs with one color each. I really need to solidify them, but in the meantime:

He's a house 'neath a soft yellow moon, and so my blue, blue caravan won't you carry me home to him soon
"Blue Caravan," Vienna Teng

Yes, I'm using the same song as previously. I do feel a bit bad about that.

I specifically remembered the order as reversed from the rest of the song, but it looks like I was wrong. Alas.

Oh, I haven't posted today, have I? Okay, here's my entry for day whatever it is:

"When I think it would be nicer being red or yellow or gold or something much more colorful like that."

--"It's Not Easy Being Green" by Kermit the Frog

"Green means go, yellow means slow, and red means stop, stop, stop."

--"The Traffic Light" from Barney

"Never wear mauve at a ball. Or pink. Or open your mouth. Mother!"

-"First Midnight" Into the Woods.

[Katya]

Right now I've got all sorts of half-snatched phrases from songs with one color each.

I've got a "can't use" list for songs that I know would work, if I only knew the lyrics well enough. (Nice to see that Dead Cat got "It's Not That Easy Being Green," which was on my list.)

"Tell me your blue skies fade to gray"
Bad Day, Daniel Powter

[Dead Cat]

Right now I've got all sorts of half-snatched phrases from songs with one color each.

Isn't it a shame that "Blue" doesn't go "if I were green I would die"?

Also, bob, do words like "pale" and "milky" count when used in reference to skin tone?

[Dead Cat]

"Down on Grandpa's farm there is a little green frog."
"Down on Grandpa's farm there is a fat pink pig."

--"Grandpa's Farm"

"And some night I'm going to ask him 'is the night sky black or blue?' I know the answer's in his book of all that's good and true."

--"Round Shouldered Man" from The Secret Garden

[Dead Cat]

"Gray days, all of them gone. Nothing but blue skies, from now on."

"Blue skies"

This has been bothering me as I thought it was "blue days" not gray. I thought it maybe was just the version I was listening to, but I finally looked it up. I was right. Sorry Katya.

Not really colors in my book. "Pale" definitely not, and "milky" is just not close enough... though if enough of you think it's a color I'll allow it, I suppose. I just don't think it counts.

[Marduk]

I agree Bob. They more describe textures and shades of colors, like saying "bright" or "shiny."

Also, on topic, even though I'm technically out: "Whisper on a scream, doesn't change a thing. Doesn't bring you back, blue on black."

Kenny Wayne Shepherd, "Blue on Black"

[Katya]

"Gray days, all of them gone. Nothing but blue skies, from now on."

"Blue skies"

This has been bothering me as I thought it was "blue days" not gray. I thought it maybe was just the version I was listening to, but I finally looked it up. I was right. Sorry Katya.

No worries. I was already out.

"So we sailed into the sun, 'till we found a sea of green. And we lived beneath the waves in our yellow submarine."

Beatles, "Yellow Submarine"

I'm adoring you...it's all good. You're so beautiful; I'm black and blue all over
"It's Good to Be in Love" Frou Frou

[Dead Cat]

"Like a warning light glimmering in red--like crimson bloodshed--shimmering in red, beautiful and strange. See the colors change before my eyes."

--"First Transformation" from Jekyll & Hyde

"Or Jack will beat us black and green! Kidnap the Sandy Claws!"

--"Kidnap the Sandy Claws" from The Nightmare Before Christmas

[Imogen]

"Sunday, in the blue, silver chromium diner, on the green, purple, yellow, red stools."

-"Sunday" tick, tick...BOOM!

(thanks Jonathan Larson!)

[Dead Cat]

I just thought of a song with 2 reprises that each have a different color but not in the same song. Grrrrr!
