"WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SONGS ABOUT RAINBOWS?"

[mariana44]

I have just checked and we do not seem to have had this subject before---I was out with the dogs, listening to my ipod, and the song "The Rainbow Connection" came on--witrh the first line of

"WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SONGS ABOUT RAINBOWS" ??

But in fact I could only think of 6--so this could be a quick quiz.

No restrictions, but the word "RAINBOW" must be in the title.

I will start with the obvious--

"The Rainbow Connection"

I'm Always Chasing Rainbows

I wish Matt had recorded it.
