Songs About Rainbows

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
