I guess Cold Play “yellow” and the band “The Lemon heads” are too mainstream… what ever are you going to do for burnt umber?
“Oh Yeah” Rocks. Farris Bueller’s Day Off soundtrack: Yellow and Sigue Sigue Sputnik!
The Lemonheads were great. I love funny, catchy, hard-pop. “It’s A Shame About Ray”… I guess you either love it or hate it.
Good call on the Lemonheads. Fun band. With respect to Cold Play, I opted for U2. Does anyone else think Cold Play borrows heavily from U2?
Hey, what about this:

Tony Orlando and Dawn “Tie a yellow ribbon” HA-HA-HA! My Dad always sings that song. Before my time. Kinda funny. Yellow is a fun one Rich.
I used to watch the Tony Orlando and Dawn Show every week. What happened to “variety shows”? A little music, a few sketches, a stand-up comic. Flip Wilson freaking rocked.
Lemonheads peaked with “Hate your friends”
Why don’t I have glasses like Elton John?!?
