Are we still missing orange and green?

We moved into a house with orange and green walls ( different walls same room)

@midgebabe Wow! Hope you don't suffer with migraines . . .

@CoffeeBeansGalore
Another wild guess about the rainbow songs.
Is one of the songs
Rip it up
By
Orange Juice ?

@Daffodil1967 Not me! It's @TwigTheWonderKid 😄.

@Daffodil1967, no I couldn't use an Orange Juice song coz I used it in my fruit themed questions the other day. So this is a another song with orange on the title.

The green one is tricky! Bit slippery...

Ah,Thanks. @TwigTheWonderKid
I’m losing track of where I was

She was proud about it, no doubt about it
She isn't sure about what she's done

85

@Fleamaker123 I’m glad you guessed The Communards, is forgotten what it was!!✅🤣

@Fleamaker123 that last one is And she was. Was it Big Audio Dynamite?

Correct for And She Was, but not by Big Audio Dynamite..

And she was is talking heads

@Honeyroar

Not sure I like the sharing points thing. We’ve quite enjoyed the pipping at the post until now (especially when it’s Flouncer getting pipped..).

(Sorry, I know this was a few days ago, but just catching up).

I'm sooooo glad you've said this, honey, because I was uncomfortable wondering if without me, this thread would be a nicer/happier place. But I see now you're my evil twin.

I'm not quite sure what's still outstanding. Possibly some rainbow ones? And that very odd one from needtoknow about keeping pants on?????

It's not sung by a frog is it, the green one????

Or a duck? But I don't think it's orville, because I've put I wish I could fly up on these threads at least twice.
So I'm going Kermit!

To my evil twin, 😘 but I’m still not sharing the points for And she was. Because obviously I knew it was Talking Heads not Big Audio..

Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, I'm best with you, yeah
1990s

@Honeyroar

To my evil twin, 😘 but I’m still not sharing the points for And she was. Because obviously I knew it was Talking Heads not Big Audio..

And yet you wrote BAD, for which you get null points

@CoffeeBeansGalore it’s the Friends Theme. The Rembrandts I’ll be there for you (hate that song!!)

Which were the green lyrics we’re trying to guess?

@Honeyroar Correct 😊👍

I am the son. I am the heir.
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar.
I am the sun and air. Of nothing in particular.
90s

The Smith's, coffee. How soon is now.

My teenage years encapsulated in song

@Honeyroar

Which were the green lyrics we’re trying to guess?

It's twig's rainbow theme.

I'm still wondering if it's Kermit the frog

But which one was the green one? I can’t even find the post (tired and emotional tonight!).

@TwigTheWonderKid

My latest themed offering:

This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
80s

I've had my fun and now it's time
To serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me
80s

If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do
If you still want me, if you still want me
70s

And people tend to pass you over
'Cause you're not standing out
Like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky
70s

Now I've stood on your shadow
And I've watched it grow
And it's shaken and it's driven me
And let me know
80s

Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out for something new
That means you too
80s

I could be wrong, but I think the green one might be the 4th one down. It's 70s, which is right for the muppets and it was the reference to water that made me think of Kermit. Wasn't there a song about it's not easy being green??????
