Not one of my favorite Chem Bros. tracks, but yeah, limited options haha.

"stressed" is just "desserts" spelled backwards

ORANGE

I can only get two...

"Oranges on Apple Trees" by A-ha


Some low-hanging fruit you somehow missed, Trollheart, although the first one you all but cut up and handed to me on a plate:-


Al Stewart instrumental, "Once An Orange", from the album of the same colour:-


Not fruit, and not memorable, is "Orange And Red Beams":-

Off we go again then. Easier this time, the colour is
GREEN

"Green Eyes" by Nick Cave
"This Green and Pleasant Land" by Pendragon
"Fiddler's Green" by The Dubliners





My favorite Jethro Tull album, and one of my favorite songs on it.

In the UK, this was a total smash hit for Tom Jones in 1966:


Tom Jones is typically introduced as "Welsh singer, Tom Jones" and is famous for being the son of a coal miner (whether true or not, who cares). Anyway, I naturally assumed that he was singing about the green green grass of Wales, but learn from wiki that it's an American song:-

 
Quote"Green, Green Grass of Home", written by Claude "Curly" Putman Jr., and first recorded by singer Johnny Darrell in 1965, is a country song made popular by Porter Wagoner the same year, when it reached No. 4 on the Country chart.[2] It was also recorded by Bobby Bare and by Jerry Lee Lewis, who included it in his album Country Songs for City Folks (later re-issued as All Country). Tom Jones learned the song from Lewis' version and, in 1966, he had a worldwide No. 1 hit with it.

Congrats to songwriter Curly Putman Jr for writing lyrics with such international details; it can apply to any country where grass and oaktrees grow, or where girls are called Mary.

It's good to see you post again, TH! Feel absolutely zero pressure, please, but I thought this Thread Of Many Colours was a really good idea of yours, and it'd be pretty easy to bump. It's a simple idea that threw up some surprises and I know many of us enjoyed contributing to it.

So far, we've done Red, Yellow, Blue, Pink, Orange, and Green, but there are still crayons unused in ribbons' box :-

Fair enough I guess: as they say, in for a penny, in for three-fiddy!


I'm tempted to go for the darkest colour, but I'm trying to lighten my mood a little if possible, so let's go for
WHITE
Hey! Where'd THEY come from?

Oh RIGHT! Halloween is on the way. Of course...
:shycouch:
Well for those who don't remember (or care) you can do songs, albums or artists, please try to keep to a max of three videos per post. The colour can be in the title or just sung about or, you know, whatever. Like this.

"White Wedding" (Billy Idol)

"Nights in White Satin" (Moody Blues)

"White Shadow" (Peter Gabriel)

Thanks, Trollheart - and thanks for including an explanation of three-fiddy !


Here's the first song that occurred to me, played here to a promo film of the kind that were used back in 1967. They were mostly made by taking the band to some park or stately mansion in the Home Counties, then filming them, either being moody and enigmatic, or being playful. This particular one is spliced with images of (presumably) the Vietnam War. How edgey is that?!

Cat Stevens - Into White 

I built my house from barley rice,
Green pepper walls and water ice.
Tables of paper wood, windows of light,
And everything emptying into white.
