I can sing a rainbow

I can’t help but like the Australian Tourism Board advert that has been on recently, showing Australia through Delta Goodrem’s eyes.

Have a look for yourself, it’s so colourful and nice, especially when compared to the annoying unimaginative ads from the US and the Turkey ones that are played way too often. Just cute :)

[Update: I've changed the link again! The video can't run away from us!]

    I was rocking my little baby during a thunderstorm and as I rocked her I made this song up. Hard to believe how popular it became…My children sang it to their teachers in Montessori school, their children did the same.. the words have been changed a bit, I suppose because someone was not sure what they were..but I know… My song “I can sing a rainbow” was begun in 1951. Red and yellow and blue and green..purple and orange and pink..I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too. Look at all the rain falling to the ground, can you sing a rainbow..sing a rainbow..sing a rainbow too? …….. I have it copywritten in Washington DC.

  12. Nanny says:

    oops, it should say…”…look at all the rain falling from the sky…can you see the rainbow, see the rainbow, see the rainbow too… etc.

    Nanny – I’d be interested in hearing more of your story. Why didn’t you sign your real name if you’re the proud author of this loved song? Something smells fishy here…
