Humming out of the Closet

[Poppetta]

Here's a little game, for us Geezers to play,
It involves songs, and clothes, hence the title cool

To play you have to post a line of a song that mentions an item of clothing, but not just any old item, oh no, a colour or brand must be mentioned too 3nodding

For example.."these boots are made for walking" talk2hand doesn't cut it but...
"blues suede shoes" 3nodding that's what it's all about cool

2 little guide lines..the colour/brand and garment need to be mentioned in the same line, and don't just Google hoards of them, these should be songs that you know 3nodding

so, post the line..
then the artist and title, unless the item is in the title of course then you don't need to post the lyric.

All collected lyrics will be complied in the second post 3nodding

Have fun whee

Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini xp

which according to Wikipedia was written in 1960 by Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss, so i've learned something new today then 3nodding  

[Blackwing Rose]

Raspberry Beret - Prince & the Revolution

Devil with a Blue Dress on - Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels  

[Catira Norr]

Does Greensleeves, by Henry VIII count? (yes, the English King)
I guess it does "Thy gown of gold and silken red".  

[Poppetta]

sure! i'm interested to see what people are going to be able to trawl up actually 3nodding  

[Poppetta]

put on your red shoes and dance the blues

David Bowie - Let's dance  

[Harbone]

"I've got a guy and his name is Dooley, he's my guy and I love him truly.
He's not good lookin' but Heaven knows...
I'm wild about his crazy clothes.

He wears...
Tan shoes with pink shoelaces
a polka-dot vest and man-o-man,
he wears tan shoes with pink shoelaces
and a big Panama with a purple hat band."

Pink Shoelaces by Dodie Stevens.
(Although the version I have is by the Chordettes.)

PS. Would more exotic materials used in the construction of clothing count, such as the items expressly worn in "Who Do You Love?" (I don't know if he wrote it, but George Thoroughgood is the only version I can think of right now.)  

[Hedge Witch]

She Bop - Cyndi Lauper

"We - hell - I see them every night in tight blue jeans -
in the pages of of a blue boy magazine"  

[Poppetta]

Harbone

PS. Would more exotic materials used in the construction of clothing count?

nope! just items of clothing, Sisu's giving me enough C&P'ing to do here without you complicating things razz

Sisu i didn't add Lady in Red as it doesn't meet the criteria 3nodding but good going on all the others! eek  

[Lil Brat]

Keeping the Faith - Billy Joel

We wore old matador boots
Only Flagg Brothers had them with a Cuban heel
Iridescent socks with the same color shirt
And a tight pair of chinos
Oh
I put on my shark skin jacket
You know the kind with the velvet collar
And ditty-bop shades
Oh yeah

Not sure if this one qualifies or not... sweatdrop  

[Harbone]

Jeez! That's quite a list, Sisu!

I'm going to throw out something from one of Umberella's favorite bands, the Dukes of Stratosphere:

"Brown was the colour of the mud across the Somme
Red was the blood you spilled upon it
Pink were the fingers of the nurse who dressed your wound
White was the starch upon her bonnet
And you married that nurse
And her name was Else
And then along came dad

...I'll have another pint of...

Brown is the colour of your old walking boots
Green is the cash you'd love to squander
Gold is the colour of your wife's faithful heart
So get yourself home, no more to wander
And you married that nurse
And her name's still Else
And another child was had
You're a good man Albert Brown "
- "You're a Good Man Albert Brown" by Dukes of Stratosphere

Also, two classics about white pieces of clothing:

"A white sportscoat and a pink carnation
I'm all dressed up for the dance
A white sports-coat and a pink car-na-tion
I'm all alone in romaaaaaance ...."
- "White Sports Coat (and a Pink Carnation)," by Marty Robbins

"Black coat, white shoes, blackhat, cadillac The boy's a time bomb Black coat, white shoes, blackhat, cadillac - The boy's a time bah-ahmb !"
- "Time Bomb," by Rancid  

[sisu1969]

Lil brat- that one is cool. Irridecent IS a color. *grin*

Harbone - I can't believe I missed the Marty Robbins song! My Mom LOVES him and I grew up listening to him. The other ones are cool too!

Poppetta - I wasn't sure about the lyrics In "Lady in Red" because he DOES mention her dress, and the color of it... just not right together. =)

And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes,
I have been blind;

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,

biggrin

I'll have to look up some more later on. this is fun! =)  

[jellysundae]

biggrin i was hoping you people would like it 3nodding

i think i'll add to the first post and say the colour/brand and item needs to be mentioned in the same line, that should ease any confusion xd
