A Conversation for Rainbows
The rainbow song
The Dancing Tree Started conversation May 8, 1999
We were taught a song when we were younger that went "red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue. I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too" and so on. Now, this may not seem disconcerting, but it does lead me to believe two things: 1) school screws up children. the colours of this song are clearly in the wrong order; and 2) the word "indigo" is not a good one to be placed in a song for young children.

The best rainbow song children should know is "The Rainbow Connection" sung by Kermit the frog on the Muppet Show ("why are there so many songs about rainbows?"). Also, the group Ween sang a song on the Chef Aid - South Park album called "The Rainbow", which is about homosexuality, not explicitly though. Both of these capture the symbolic ideas behind rainbows, which, as with rainbows themselves, are individual experiences.

Ween, perhaps the all time greatest and funniest band in history. They hail from Pennsylvania. Just thought I should add that.
