Rain reigns

We've had days and days of rain here, but yesterday we had a break in the clouds late afternoon-

That almost looks like a fogbow as the colors look pretty faint. XD

Double rainbow all the way (albeit very very faint). :O)

It seemed clearer than my photo showed, but then I saw someone else had a photo online that looked pretty much the same

...you forgot Dio's Rainbow In The Dark from the earworm list :D

My childhood friend had a jewelbox-music box with a mechanic ballerina that would spin around to Somewhere Over The Rainbow when you open the lid, that she got as a birthday present when she turned 8. I could play that tune on piano before I even got to know what its name was (because it was just "the ballerina box song", hee!) - my mom recognised the song when I was playing it on some keyboard in the toy aisle of some shop next Christmas (funnily enough that keyboard had color-coded keys to the rainbow theme - but then quite many children's toy instruments have). Took me probably years before I could connect that to rainbows, but I still think of that ballerina box every time I hear it.

That's a great association!

If I could have made a better poll I would have tried to include an area to list the earworms people associate with events. TV commercials do that to us, they take a song we love and make us think of their damn products.

Carly Simon was my first sell-out musician along that route ;o)

Great. Now I have a hankerin' for some Skittles.

[mondhasen]

*slowly waving paw* No Skittles, you want rabbits.... rabbits...

[sabotlours]

Yes! I definitely want a giant red bunny!

I usually think of Kermit the frog singing "Rainbow Connection".

[mondhasen]

I can happily say I don't remember that song, but hope it's a good memory for you :o)

[mondhasen]

Thank you! That's a very sweet song :o)

Since you asked... first one I thought of was the DoubleRainbow song meme .. :D ...

I do associate songs with experiences sometimes... but not often with just a random experience igniting a soundtrack in my head ^v^ .. usually... unless it is suggested, like you did here.... :D

[mondhasen]

I hadn't seen that meme :o)

Songs appear like clouds taking on shapes (oops, that brings Judy Collins to mind). Moreover I recall songs that were playing during a time or place and that works, too. The mind's a funny thing...
