It’s June. A new month. And Blobby‘s turn to pick out the theme. His choice this month is “colors”. American colors, apparently, and not British colours. I thought maybe because it was gay pride month, rainbows and all. But apparently that wasn’t it. Although I’m not sure what it was. But we’ll run with it.

Three colors this week: red, gold, green.

And weird enough, I don’t recall ever seeing the video for this song until I looked it up. Maybe I killed that part of the 80s from my brain already.

Culture Club’s “Karma Chameleon”:

While several songs came to mind for this month, this one popped into my head first. So I must acknowledge it. While it’s not about one single color, or mention specific color names, it does involve colors. I’m not sure if it counts in the purist sense, but I’m going with it. Mostly because it’s a good start of the summer song for me. And since it’s finally above 70 here on a steady basis, that qualifies.

And who doesn’t love a Cindy song?

From 1986s “Bouncing off the Satellites”, I give you The B-52’s “She Brakes for Rainbows”:

Here comes Brenda
Brenda Holiday
Through she hasn’t that much to say

She knows where the rain goes
She brakes… She brakes for rainbows

Fly Brenda
Fly Brenda

Window in the weather
Flowers in her hair
Footprints on the ceiling
How did they get there

She knows where the rain goes
She brakes… She brakes for rainbows
