I was determined not to pick an obvious or cliche song for this one I went through a lot of old favourites of mine including :
Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harum
Green Green Grass of Home - Tom Jones
Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
Band of Gold - Freda Payne
Heart of gold - Neil Young
And many many more including Devil with the blue dress as recommended by @LoriAMoore which is a great song and I have added it to my Wedding play list.
However I did end up going for a classic in the end and chose Print - Purple Rain.
The reason I chose this is because it still gives my goosebumps whenever I hear it and is just such a beautiful song.
It was released by Prince in 1984 and was the soundtrack to 1984 film of the same name. Despite being a gold selling single it was kept off the top spot by Wham - Wake me up before you gogo. However it did reach number one in 2016 after Princes sad death.
I suggest everyone listen to this song but only if you are in an emotionally stable state at the time. The song is about having your loved ones with you when the end of the world comes.
What would your suggestion be for this title. Songs with a colour in the title ?

@Shellyjane Was it Bobby Darrin who sang that? I think Elvis did too.
