Six. So, that first song, I am Blue. I'd never heard it before a few weeks ago (umm.... people, you're supposed to let me know songs like that are out there) and apparently there is some debate over the lyrics. Some hear "If I was green I would die" instead of the "da ba de ba da ba die" that is in the lyric. There are websites devoted to it. That's what I read, but there is at least a facebook page thrown up about it. There is also a Wikipedia page which explains how it was recorded and why people hear different things in it. Listen and let me know what you think.

I love that you took a musical approach to this topic!

[margene]

I'm going to be here all day listening to what you are.
People hear what they want to hear, but I know I would be very unhappy if I were green. Sorry, Kermit.

[Manise]

I think you could either way. If you zone in on the pictures during the green part I can see why people would think the former rather than the latter. Without watching and just listening I hear the former the most.

[Laurie]

I really like your take on this!

[Vicki]

Haha, yay you!

[Beverly]

I loved this! So much fun!
