Orange Colored Sky - Dianne Strong

Natalie Cole version.
*********************
I was walking along minding my business, when out of an orange colored sky
Flash, bam, alakazam, wonderful you came by

I was humming a tune,
Drinking in sunshine, when out of that orange colored view
Wham, bam, alakazam, I got a look at you

One look and I yelled timber, watch out for flying glass
Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out, I went into a spin
and I started to shout, I've been hit, this is it, this is it

I was walking along minding my business, when love came and hit me in the eye
Flash, bam, alakazam, out of an orange colored sky

Musical interlude

Well, one look and I yelled timber, watch out for flying glass
Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out, I went into a spin
And I started to shout I've been hit, this is it, this is it

I was walking along, minding my business, when love came and hit me in the eye
Flash, bam, alakazam, out of an orange, colored, purple stripes
Pretty green polka dot sky, flash, bam, alakazam, went the sky

Just to let you know, my mum used to sing this song way back in the 60s and she loves it too! One thing she did comment on, though - the 4th line lyric should read

'orange colored hue'. Now you can be one up on everyone else!

Thank you so much for posting this - can't wait to give it a whirl at karaoke! x

@Fodyfan08 I never realized that, thank you for telling me! I perform this one with my big band quite often so I'll be sure to correct myself going forward :)

ok im in jr high and i want to sing this song 4 talent show but im scared people will make fun of me? will they?

[ascolais]

@TheNumber1JoJo1 Don't be afraid! Enjoy yourself. If you do, the audience will as well.

I'm singing this song for my high school production this May.

I hope that can serve it any justice, because Natalie Cole and Nat King Cole are just....amazing.

[ascolais]

Sing your heart out! The audience doesn't expect perfection - they expect emotion, enthusiasm, and a genuine performance. You'll be great!

@Fodyfan08 OMG Gaga... ... ... on second thought, I have no words to describe the amazingness of her singing this.

[Fodyfan08]

@TheNumber1JoJo1 You go for it, nothing to lose - The Goddess that is Gaga performed this recently in the UK and everybody is raving about it. If you love this song as much as I do, just sing out and enjoy it - everybody else will, too!
