Welcome to another Twisted Mixtape Tuesday. It’s another week where we can share whatever we damn well please. Do you know how exciting that is to me? Do you? DO YOU??????
Now comes the hard part-whatever shall I choose? There must be a theme, for I am random about everything except my music. How about colors? Everybody likes colors! How about songs with a color in the title, or bands with color names. Yes, let’s do that.
First a short little something for the kids…
Three Primary Colors-Ok Go
This next is an amazing video. Interesting fact: Garth Brooks almost froze to death filming this. Sorry about the subtitles, it’s the only version I could find.
The Red Strokes-Garth Brooks
What rhymes with orange? Nothing.
Orange Crush-REM
Really I just wanted to share a bunch of Coldplay songs, but this was more fun to share color songs, so that’s what I did.
Yellow-Coldplay
How about a song by a group with the color in it? Don’t mind if I do…
Good Riddance-Green Day
And we must have a twangy country song. There are so many country songs with the word blue in them… I lost count.
Blue-Jewel
Hey remember the 90s? I had to get indigo in here somehow…
Closer to Fine-Indigo Girls
I promise, no more Coldplay songs today, at least after this one.
Violet Hill-Coldplay
You can’t help but like P!NK. If you don’t, she’ll beat you up.
(Pssssst-I’m doing you a favor by putting a P!NK song in here instead of Pink Floyd, because I want you to stay awake until the end of this post).
So What?-P!NK
Strange video, good song.
Black Hole Sun-Soundgarden
What’s a color countdown without a little Billy Idol in it?
White Wedding-Billy Idol
Still one of the best Cyndi Lauper songs.
True Colors-Cyndi Lauper
What are your favorite songs with color titles in them? Or bands with color names? I’d love to see your picks in the comments! Got some tuneage you’re dying to share? Make a mix and link it up to http://jenkehl.com
Speaking of tuneage, if you missed my misheard song lyric post from awhile back, you can catch it HERE. Come see how silly I really am… I hear stuff wrong!

I love this theme!
I LOVE Black Hole Sun! Powerful song and video. Brings back memories of the gorgeous, grungy 90’s!
I love this theme and may tackle it myself one day, but awesome job picking the songs to represent all the shades.
To add to your Coldplay colour theme… “Green Eyes.”
Love the playlist, particularly the Coldplay and OK Go.
They can’t penetrate my rainbow wall of happiness either! And unicorns!
This is awesome, you are a very creative gal you know. Also… LOVED PRIMARY COLORS! I have not heard that before, although there is that other song from OK Go with colors in it that I love so I’m not surprised!
I bow to your awesomeness.
Oh, I forgot one important blast from the past–Color My World–Chicago!
I love love love this idea! Kudos!
I’m surprised you found ANY version of the Garth Brooks…he is about as hard to find as Prince. LOVE the Ok Go song! …actually I love this whole list!
How ’bout this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTKjwAID95Q
The song doesn’t have a color in the title or artists’ name, but I recommend the colorful “Jenny Jenkins” performed by Jerry Garcia & David Grisman.
I think Pink is hot! Great in concert.
I have also seen Cyndi Lauper and she is amazing in concert.
White Wedding. Blast from the past with Billy’s sneer.
