Help me! What’s the yellow song my toddler wants

I have a nearly 2 year old who has just sussed out Alexa plays whatever he wants on command.
He knows he can say Alexa play… and the song will come on. We’re normally just doing nursery rhymes although I will throw in the occasional 5ive or Busted classic 😁

Anyway, he keeps saying Alexa play yellow (or in his precise words “Exa play yeyyow”).

I have NO IDEA what song “yellow” is! And this child is very very persistent in his desire to listen to it.

I’ve tried the rainbow song but doesn’t seem to be it and pretty sure he’s not a Coldplay fan. It’s got to be something he’s heard at nursery. Help!!

There is one possible alternative explanation. He’s just getting to grips with colours and yellow does seem to be his favourite so he’s possibly just getting a bit mixed up and doesn’t understand Alexa can’t play colours. He does ask for other songs though like wheels on the bus though so I think he does get it.

so that was a very long post to ask for suggestions of kids songs to try and get Alexa to play that might be yellow.

Just remembered! All the children at DS1's nursery love Let It Go from Frozen and when younger used to call it 'lellygo'. Could be that?

🎼 🎶 🎶 Yellow bird up high in banana tree....

I was going to suggest this. We sang it when I was a school nursery teacher.
