[chickenwretch]

This song reminds me of when my older sister ran away to S.F. that spring, like thousands of other teens that year. Cried for months, missed her so much. Next time I saw her she was a hippie. Recall my tender heartedness, how innocent I still was, and how my sister had lost hers. "but in the daytime everything changes, nothing remains the same."

[michaelegan86]

I just rang AOL technical support and this was the song played whilst I was on hold, best hold song I've ever had to listen to. It's how I discovered the song.

[1qaz2wsx3edc5753]

not my favorite of all music, but it is up there with the ones I love.

[1qaz2wsx3edc5753]

My favorite song by the box tops.

[mousy554]

@1qaz2wsx3edc5753 this is my favorite song in the world!

[surtigurl]

wonderful

[chucknchar]

What a fucking song, its great, I love the country twang ending

[FullMoonVideo]

I seen these guys in a far west suburb of Chicago back in the late 80’s. They were just playing a small bar. The gal I was with was making fun of this old guy walking around with a big piece sign medallion on his neck…until he got up and sung for us. This gal was a neighbor of mine from the old neighborhood and remembered all the songs…She loved that night and our accidental stumble upon this bar, and the hidden mysteries it contained.

[LovingAIman]

love it

[LovingAIman]

喜欢。刚在盘里发现这首歌。

[datpakiman54]

3 people have a power cut :(

[rainstormz28]

The Box Tops were a fantastic group with a unique sound...song brings so memories back of 1967...Alex Chilton will be missed by many...

[pjbropjbro]

I think orange and red have a great significance in the colour spectrum ,

orange represents bro,red,bro although the are many conatations attached to colour

there is a strong divide and a close union.CHAKRAS HAVE A SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE ATTACHED TO THE RAINBOWS FOR HEALING LIGHTS.

[JamieDaCosta]

@pjbropjbro

???????????????????

[XXcarolsmurphXX]

i love this song no matter how old it is

[gene347]

"Neon Rainbow" hit the charts December 1967. The song still reminds of Christmas ! Thank you Box Tops !

[kiemul136]

I Love songs that have lyrics that actually makes some sense!

[topsyandpip56]

Talk Talk ruined this song so much, so that if I hear this song, my body cramps up.

[jimmyshitbags]

so what is a neon rainbow anyway, i thought neon was an inert gas and a rainbow was a refraction effect?

[splato92]

@jimmyshitbags Stop trying to be smart, it's a song. Have some imagination.

[AnimalNitrates]

@splato92 Yeah! It doesn't MATTER what it is! Just pretend!

[JamieD262]

Talk Talk lol

[TheJamesCase]

I'd like to buy Cowel for what he Actually knows and sell him for what he THINKS he knows!

[rickyross3359]

Love the Petula version from the Memphis Album

[ClassicMscLuvrGrl14]

what pretty rainbows it would be so cool if rainbows were really that close like it was when it was near the building id love to touch one or jump up on one while eating skittles lol

[KirstieeEss]

had to listen to this song over and over yesterday when talk talk put me on hold...

[7272257]

Question: Why do lose so many of those who made music so great in the 60's? R.I.P. Alex.

talk talk song

[hollygugl]

This is a lovely song -- thanks Box Tops for the beauty of this song -------so sweet I am so sorry for the stupid remarks -- my i love this song.............

[7272257]

The best 45 ever and in my collection of 45's.

[SianiLea]

How charming. Not only are you amusing me with your extremely immature "insults", you are pretty much offending every homosexual person on the planet for attempting to use it as an insult in the first place. Bravo, my dear! ;)

[VideoKilledYaMum]

@SianiLea how am i insulting homosexuals WHEN I FUCKING AM ONE!

[SianiLea]

Well then you of all people should realise that using gay as in insult isn't a bright idea. And, if you wish to drink my tears, you are very welcome. With the amount of times you've "made me cry" with your "insults", there is plenty to drink ;)

[nogoy55]

Petula Clark also did an excellent version of this song. Love it, thanks for posting!

ps What is the Christmas song recorded by the Box Tops about the same time?

[chuckfmark]

The lead singer was alleged to be 15 when they recorded this.

[VenenoCY]

i started to hate this song since TalkTalk use it on their relendless waiting queue on the technical department

[VideoKilledYaMum]

@VenenoCY relentless* retard

[VideoKilledYaMum]

@SianiLea

[SianiLea]

Oh. I apologise, my love. Excuse me while I go and cry, you're insults are truly horrific...

[VideoKilledYaMum]
