Are we on our next round yet? I'm going to say yes.
Such a dazzling coat of colors! How I love my coat of many colors! It was red and yellow and green and...
There are a whole lot of colors after that, but luckily I already have enough words.

Yeah, I'd be hard pressed to conjure much more of the song. Something along the lines of her waiting for (loving? verbing at the very least) no other soldier but me.

Sweetie, Katya already used this song in round two. We can't reuse songs until a new category/word is chosen.

Please note that Hobbes is more of a yellow ochre than a straight orange.
Also in that song is "lemon," which is definitely yellow. Next time, folks!

From some other planet I'd get a funky high off a yellow sun, boy I'd bet my friends will all be stunned.

Just so I can show off (and because ahem
stoled it from me):
"It was red and yellow and green and brown and scarlet and black and ochre and peach and ruby and olive and violet and fawn and lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve and cream and crimson and silver and rose and azure and lemon and russet and gray and purple and white and pink and orange and blue!"
Thank you ten-year-old self for taking the time to memorize that song.

Awesome. I missed a couple of rounds due to internet connectivity issues, but since it's a practice round, I'll jump back in.

Yeah, I thought of that one early on, then had the same problem.

1. I allowed for the word "yellow" in other languages, but not for other yellow-words in English.
2. By default, you can't use different parts of the same song (even if they're non-overlapping).
However, a future category picker could alter either of these rules.
