"Teach" & "Learn" Songs

Well, I spared you the misery of having to slog through two separate posts of songs for one "Opposites" theme, a collection of songs with the words "Teach" and "Learn" in their titles. (You're welcome!) One post means fewer overall songs, and fewer songs means a higher quality of songs that are included. In theory, at least. Enjoy?  ~  JH

"Purple," "Brown," & "Pink" Songs

Here's part 2 of 7 in my latest series of music posts. Songs with colors in their titles is the theme, and this morning's colors are "Purple," "Brown," and "Pink." Oh yeah, and my song-by-song commentary is back. (At least for this post.) Ready, set, go!  ~  JH

1)  The Jimi Hendrix Experience  ~  "Purple Haze"  (You knew this classic would be here, right?)

2)  Ray Stevens  ~  "Jeremiah Peabody's Polyunsaturated Quick-Dissolving Fast-Acting Pleasant-Tasting Green And Purple Pills"  (In case you were wondering, this song holds the record for second-longest song title ever.)

3)  Seasick Steve  ~  "Purple Shadows"  (Despite his unusual moniker, this guy has some real talent. Old-school talent that the music industry is missing these days.)

4)  Sheb Wooley  ~  "The Purple People Eater"  (It would appear that purple is the color of choice when it comes to silly novelty songs.)

5)  Etta James  ~  "Purple Rain"  (Prince doesn't put his music on YouTube [nor does he allow anyone else to], but I found a cover version of his classic song by the inimitable Etta James – and it's pretty awesome!)

6)  Brandon Heath  ~  "Paul Brown Petty"  (Okay, so "Brown" here is a name and not a color, per se. So sue me!)

7)  Van Morrison  ~  "Brown Eyed Girl"  (For some reason, finding a live version of this song that doesn't royally suck is difficult. But this one was better than most.)

8)  The Stranglers  ~  "Golden Brown"  (I find this song and video creepy on so many levels. In other words, I sorta like it.)

9)  India.Arie  ~  "Brown Skin"  (She knows what she wants, and she's not afraid to say it!)

10)  Billie Holiday  ~  "Miss Brown To You"  (I only wish I could have found an actual video of Billie singing this song. She's one of the all-time greats!)

11)  The Psychedelic Furs  ~  "Pretty In Pink"  (Isn't she, though?)

12)  Red Hot Chili Peppers  ~  "Pink As Floyd"  (RHCP is one of those bands whose music sounds really good on vinyl. Which is why I chose this particular video to include for this song. Incidentally, the song has little or nothing to do with Pink Floyd, the band.)

13)  Nick Drake  ~  "Pink Moon"  (A hauntingly beautiful song by a guy who died shortly after releasing it.)

14)  John Cougar Mellencamp  ~  "Pink Houses"  (Ain't that America? No, that's John Cougar Mellencamp. Close enough, I suppose.)

15)  Henry Mancini  ~  "The Pink Panther Theme"  (Now this tune is going to be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. You're welcome!)
