Post one of your favorite songs that has the name of a color in the title.

There was a bit in the Guardian about this song last week.

If you’re used to hearing this Rodgers and Hart masterpiece bellowed out in football stadiums, Elvis’s eerie version may seem unexpectedly delicate. It creeps like the full moon rising over a deserted cornfield, Presley almost whispering into the mic, until he suddenly erupts into a high-pitched yodel.

Blue Moon was unexpected for me too. I'd come to the track via Elvis' films, and the big hits, and then I got the Sun Sessions LP. It sounded a bit like it came from another world
