Songs About The Color "Beige"

In the past, both on this and my original blog, I've done more than my fair share of posts featuring songs with a particular color in their titles. And let's face it, the possibilities are endless. However...I'd never tackled the color "Beige" before now – and as it turns out that was a mistake! Because there're actually a lot of great "Beige" songs to be heard; I just wasn't paying attention. I am now. And you should, too. Enjoy!  ~  JH
