The 10 Greatest Songs About Rainbows


Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what’s on the other side?

No, really. I’m asking you. There are a lot. I was honestly wondering why there are so many of them. I came up with a list of eight right off of the top of my head, then I cheated and looked up two more because lists of eight are kind of lame.

Behold my very subjective list - The Ten Greatest Songs About Rainbows:

10) “She Talks to Rainbows” – Ronnie Spector

The Ramones do a pretty good cover of this too.

9) “Paint a Rainbow” – My Bloody Valentine

8 ) The Theme Song from “Reading Rainbow”

Shut it. It is my list.

7) “Homo Rainbow” – Ween

6) “She’s a Rainbow” – The Rolling Stones

Also, this video is pretty cool.

    So. Very. Relieved. To see Dio on this list.

    Dio and the Rolling Stones both rocked it. But Kermit is the man.

    Obviously #4 is Oliver’s favorite.

      Oliver might be my soul mate.

    I never doubted for a second that you’d list Dio. RIP.
