Awhile back I posted some videos of a few piano players playing Yellow-by-Coldplay
Then I started making a mental list of all the songs that had the word "yellow" in it. I just love the happy color because it is so cheery and bright.
Here's the list I came up with. Let me know if you think of any others.
1. Yellow Rose of Texas
2. Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree
3. Yellow Submarine
4. Mellow Yellow
5. Yellow by Coldplay
