The challenge

Someone mentioned (a) white sport coat.

Jimmy Buffet also has a song called, "A white sport coat and a pink crustacean" :-)

Larisa

*bows deeply* Wow.... I concede to the mistress of song title trivia. ;-)

"Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue?" sung by Crystal Gayle, no idea who wrote it. That brings to mind a blue and tan quilt.

Just tossing in some I have on disc or have sung that I haven't seen mentioned.

Ornaments of Gold- Siouxie Sioux Black Sunshine- White Zombie Think Pink- The Fabulous Poodles White Man in Hammersmith Palais- White Riot- Protex Blue- The Clash Red Water- Black Number 1- White Slavery- Creepy Green Light- Type O Negative All Cats are Grey- Mr Pink Eyes- A Pink Dream- The Cure Black Leather- Blackmail- Cherry Bomb- The Runaways Devil in the Blue Dress- Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels Devil in a Black Dress- Jack Off Jill Infrared- Queensryche See You in Black- Black Blade- Blue Oyster Cult- Blue Oyster Cult Vision in Blue- Ultravox Suite Madam Blue- Styx Crimson and Clover- Tommy James and the Shondells Green Mountain- Red Is The Rose- Rose Red and White Lily- The Old Grey Mare- Silver Dagger- The Old Gray Goose- The Black Velvet Band- Amber Tresses- Peach Pickin Time- The Blue and the Grey- The Bonnie Blue Flag- Black is the Color- Green Grow the Lilacs- Red River Valley- Traditional

Not sure of the attribution of some of the trad ones, they may be by the Carter Family or other folk singers so established you can be thus fooled. I may have mangled a couple of titles, but anyone who knows the song would know what they are.

I've got a few by Queen: White Queen (As it Began) The March of the Black Queen White Man

With all of these great ideas, no one has come up with one of my favorites by The Irish Rovers..... "Black Velvet Band"..

Pati, in Phx

Mary > "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue?" sung by Crystal Gayle, no idea

i can visualize.... when the deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls and the stars begin to twinkle in the night. in the mist of a memory, you wander on back to me, breath'n my name with a sigh.

i'm sure whatever you come up with will be superb. so any songs and only one quilt, oh dear. have fun and do let us know what you decide. cheers, jeanne

What about the Irish song. Forty shades of Green. Green grow the rushes. Sing me a rainbow Shirley

That's a great idea!!!

Is anyone saving all these suggestions? Just think of the advantage we'll have when our guilds have the same challenge!!!

Thanks Larisa. That is indeed comprehensive!! lol "off kilter snipped-for-privacy@somwherequiet.net" wrote in message news: snipped-for-privacy@k79g2000hse.googlegroups.com...

LOL

all it took was a Google search for "song titles with color" maz of 30 seconds ofr a full screen to load

Larisa, who was nearly comatose or else drooling in the corner after the craziness of yesterday..this was a focused activity that I could use to regroup my run away brain cells

That would be similar to the "Beatles" quilt that Sue Nichols and Pat Holly made several years ago. Each block was one of the songs the Beatles recorded.

I really like the idea of each blocks being a different "color" song. Do it!!! :-)
