Color, optics, and music



The science of color is generally considered one of the major fields of
optics, e.g.

The Science of Color, 2nd edition, edited by Steven K.
Shevell, Elsevier/Optical Society of America (2003).

For reasons that are classified for the minute, I'm assembling a
collection of songs and musical pieces of any genre, (pop to childrens'
music to hiphop to opera) that have _colors_ or, secondarily, that have
major optics terms in their titles or featured prominently in their
lyrics.

Any contributions to the list (the wilder the better), preferably with
composer, lyricist, and/or prominent performers included, will be much
appreciated (may even help defend the US against terrorist attacks, who
knows these days).

I already have "Blue Moon", "Blue Suede Shoes", etc -- but more up to
date or upper class analogs will be welcomed.
