I tried to post this yesterday in honor of St. Patrick's Day, but the site was malfunctioning, so here it is a day late...the top 10 all-time "Green" Songs. Enjoy! ~ JH

2) The Lemon Pipers ~ "Green Tambourine"
3) Nolwenn Leroy ~ "Greensleeves"
4) Tom Jones ~ "Green, Green Grass Of Home"

I'm seeing a lot of rainbow-tinted images on social media these days. Wonder what that's all about? [Shrugs shoulders.] Well, anyway, all these colors reminded me that there have been quite a few good songs written on the subject of rainbows. More so than even I knew, as I would soon discover. Here's a collection of the best ones I could find. I'm pretty sure they're all completely unrelated to...whatever these current rainbow images are supposed to mean. ;) ~ JH

24) UB40 ~ "Rainbow Nation"
25) Jimmy Fallon (as Jim Morrison) ~ "Reading Rainbow Theme Song"
BONUS TRACK: Carpenters ~ "I Won't Last A Day Without You" (This song doesn't have "Rainbow" in its title, but the word plays an integral part in the chorus. Besides, I love the Carpenters, so there ya go…)
Here's part two in my latest pointless series. The common theme is that the title keywords for each post rhyme with each other. Yesterday was songs with "Respect" in the title. Today, it's "Connect" songs. Next up, "Direct" songs. Enjoy! ~ JH
