Weekly Thread of Many Colours

[Janszoon]

I just listened to a little of "Dirty Frank" and I'm not sure I've ever heard it before. It's definitely not one of their most popular songs. I also looked up "Yellow Ledbetter" on Wikipedia and it actually charted when I was in high school, so I guess that's why I think of it as well known.

[Lexi Darling]

A couple more obscure tracks, from '68 and '71 respectively.

OK, just this once, but try something like that again and I'm reporting you to the guy who opened the threa...oops. Nevermind.
 
All my go-to choices have been posted already, so I'm down to one more taxi-cab song:

[ribbons]

I'm running out of yellow songs.   

This one came to mind because I seem to recall you're a John Fahey fan (I think!), Lisna.

John Fahey - The Yellow Princess

[Trollheart]

You can also do artists.

"Behind the Mask" by Yellow Magic Orchestra

Thanks, ribbons. That's clever of you! Yes, I'm a fan of Fahey, but more in the past than I am today. I used to have that album and played it many times, but I haven't thought about it in years, which is perhaps my loss.

Here's a remarkably chirpy song from Captain Beefheart that you might enjoy:-

^ Great pick, Lisna - thank you!  The Captain's Safe As Milk is one of my favorite albums.

Ah OK - this guy is the first who comes to mind.

Yellowman - Zungguzungguguzungguzeng     (had to copy and paste that title  )

That's you and John Lennon both then, ribbons !! This is JL relaxing at home in 1967, with promo stickers on the cabinets behind him:-

   ...and in the end the title didn't help much when I tried to sing along

[Rubber Soul]

Hey, Trolls, when are you going to change colors? Do you have yellow fever or something?
