Suggested to me by @awardinary a while ago after 'Pink Pony Club' hit #1, let's see what Buzzjack's favourite is of all number ones which contain a colour* in the title.

I've left the poll open for a week, after which one lucky song will be crowned the winner!

*Disclaimer: before anyone comes at me for missing their fave, I didn't include gold or silver or more obscure shades of colour, and I didn't include a song with the word "blues" in the title, as it doesn't directly pertain to the colour blue.

    ^ Yeah exactly, and I had to draw the line somewhere! The list of "gold" and "silver" number ones really isn't extensive at all, it would have only added three songs: 'Silence Is Golden' by The Treme

MJ vs Chappell atm!

I didn't vote for Chappell because it's too recent for me to pit it against timeless classics.

Black Coffee, Black Magic and I'm Good (Blue) heart

I do like 'I'm Good' a lot but surely you can't consider it superior to the original classique?!

I find the original really annoying and always have - I'm Good (Blue) removes the annoying part and utilises the great melody and piano...!

I voted for A Whiter Shade Of Pale, Lily The Pink, Blackberry Way, Tie A Yellow Ribbon, Red Red Wine and 99 Red Balloons. There were some more good ones but those are the highlights.
