10 and 1 - All The Colours Of The Rainbow

That's right beautiful reader, this week '10 and 1' is going vintage! Don't worry, Jo and 'It's All Coming Back To Me Now' will be here later tonight, but for now you have to make do with me and songs about red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue. I can sing a rainbow, SING A RAINBOW, sing a rain- uh... what? Anyway, here's ten songs about ten colours (black and white count, right?) that rock and one that... well, it doesn't rock at all. That's what makes it the one.

You know what? Screw their little blue house and their little blue dog too! Reflecting on the success of this song, you wonder what we were all thinking at the end of the 90s. I believe the problem is we weren't doing a whole lot of that 'thinking.'
