watch these vids with my nephew and neice and they loved the sing a longs lol its such a joy to watch their faces when they sing to the top of their lungs to these songs...
@llamaschoolSF that's the whole point, it is nonsense. I used to love screaming 'you can't listen with your eyes!' to my mum and thinking I was clever.
This song was first introduced in the film "Pete Kelly's Blues" in 1955 and it become a children's nursery song which became popular in kindergardens and it was later used as a medley with "Love Is Blue" which was later became an R&B classic by the Dells in 1969. If you want to hear this version, check out the Dells with their take on a classic children's song "I Can Sing a Rainbow" followed by their take on Paul Mauriat's #1 instrumental hit "Love Is Blue".
@Bryony500 This song has always been in the wrong order. It's the way it was written (there is no pink in a rainbow anyway). I think it's called "artistic license".
aww...that brought tears to my eyes!! i sang that as a child in choir class and years later sang it to both my daughters when they were babies & tots. i hope they're able to do the same for their children some day!!
This song has gone down in Philadelphia history as the beloved end theme to the locally-produced kids' show, "Captain Noah and His Magical Ark", which aired from 1967-1994.
@AlexanderT21 Well that's not really correct. A rainbow is by definition the full spectrum, and therefore every conceivable colour is in the rainbow, including every possible shade of pink (notwithstanding brightness and contrast of course). The colours of the rainbow as you think of them are just a simplification by Newton, which children learn as a means of remembering the order of the basic colours. Pink is not one of the basic colours they learn, but it most definitely is in a rainbow.
Not sure how I ended up here - one link led to another I guess - Anyway as a child I refused to sing this in assembly - stupid song, there is no pink in the rainbow, I cannot sing a rainbow (all down to sun and rain) and I so cannot listen with my eyes!
Red and yellow and blue and green, Purple and orange and pink, I can sing a rainbow, Sing a rainbow, Sing a rainbow too! Listen to your heart, Listen to your heart, And sing everything you feel, I can sing a rainbow, Sing a rainbow, Sing a rainbow too

Montessori teacher's can't handle the disorder and synesthesia in this song.
For those who can relate:
"Red and orange and yellow and green,
Violet comes before blue
I can sing a rainbow..."
"Look with your eyes, listen with your ears, and sing everything you see..."
Apologies, I know this is obnoxious.
